Crime / Nigerians Spend N730bn On Sports Betting Annually by GistMore5: 7:36pm On Aug 12, 2019
Nigerians spend over 730 billion Naira annually on sports betting and at least two billion naira is generated daily, recent research data shows.

Data also revealed that over 60 million Nigerian punters spend over 3, 000 naira daily placing bet stakes. At least there are 50 betting sites in Nigeria with the number growing annually.

Respondents, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, said they placed bets to generate quick and easy income, and turn their passion for football into cash.

28-year-old Fashion designer, Segun Mukoro who bets at least once weekly said that it was the fastest way to double his income and although he might lose sometimes, the wins come big.

He said, “Yes I bet and I do so weekly, especially when there is a league playing. When you have been betting for long, it’s easier to know what odds to play and what teams to bet on.

“It is a guessing game and you get better with time. I know that it is addictive but I see it as an investment, a way to double my income,” Mukoro said.

Similarly, 23-year-old Eronini Kolapo explained that he used betting to augment his allowance as a student. He told NAN that he started for fun, at first but soon built a network from it.

Kolapo’s almost-perfect predictions made him a leader of his sport betting ring where his peers pay him extra to place ‘sure’ bets for them.

His model is not strange as website and online channels where predictions are sold to help punters maximise betting stakes, populate social media.

However, there are tons of fraudulent platforms.

30-year-old Noble Obioria sold his agro-business and combined the proceeds with his savings to purchase predictions from a fraudulent channel that swindled him.

He spent almost one million naira trying to place a ‘sure’ stake with hope of making over ten million naira in return.

He told NAN that losing all his money helped him realise how addicted he was to betting and how much he had given to the greed and dissatisfaction that came with regular betting.

Obioria also agreed with respondents who said that the presence of betting sites and platforms online made it too easy and fuelled the desire to place stakes.

Research statistics show that over 14 million bet stakes and payments are made over the internet every day. This, however, does not affect the rate of teeming punters at offline, physical shops.

A betting shop attendant, Niyi Adejujagbe said that he gets at least 500 stakes placed in his shop daily, adding that he has a crowd of punters as early as 9 am.

Crime / NSCDC Officer Kills Undergraduate In Bayelsa by GistMore5: 6:08am On Aug 12, 2019
An officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has allegedly shot dead a 100-level student of petrochemical engineering of the Niger Delta University in Bayelsa State.

It was gathered that the incident happened around 10.30pm on Saturday at the Efeke-Ama area of the university town of Amassoma in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.

The victim, identified simply as Obinna, was said to have been rushed to a hospital in the community for medical attention, but he died shortly after.

The NSCDC officer, according to sources, was struggling to free his rifle without pointing it upwards and it released a bullet, which hit the victim and killed him.

It was learnt that the officer was on escort duty with a former Chairman of the Bayelsa State Sanitation Authority and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Abel Ebifemowei, an indigene of Amassoma.

Ebifemowei was said to have travelled to the community in a convoy of vehicles bearing the campaign posters of Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, the immediate past Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development and an APC governorship aspirant.

It was gathered that the members of the politician’s entourage were hanging out in a pub after the local council election in the state on Saturday when the incident happened.

The corpse of the deceased student was taken to a mortuary, while the killer NSDC officer was taken into custody by the Divisional Police Officer in the area.

Ebifemowei described the incident as unfortunate, but denied that he and the others were drinking at a pub and that he was using the campaign vehicles of Lokpobiri at the time of the incident.

He said, “It is a lie that I was at the pub when the incident occurred and I was not with the official vehicles of Senator Lokpobiri. It is an act of mischief to link Lokpobiri with the incident.

“The NSCDC man with me was trying to free his gun when it went off. The incident was not about me or the Senator Lokpobiri Campaign Organisation.

“It is unfortunate that he did not point the gun up. The affected NSCDC officer was not drunk as claimed. It was just an accidental discharge, which every security personnel prays not to happen to them. I was not at a pub. I was in Amassoma to observe the local government election ahead of the coming governorship poll.”

Ebifemowei also confirmed that the corpse of the deceased student had been taken to Yenagoa by the police and the NSCDC officer was in police custody.


“The security escorts have followed me for over 10 years and we have never experienced any such incident. It is unfortunate,” he added.

Man narrates his experience with a female Keke driver being bullied by her male colleagues

A Twitter user has narrated an encounter he had with a female Keke driver who was being bullied by her male colleagues in Ikeja, Lagos.

@lemerstachu tweeted: "I entered a keke today to ikeja. It was driven by a woman. Men bullied her wen it was her turn to load passengers. I entered hers when they forced me to enter theirs. I assisted her in calling passenger ls to enter. Wen we loaded she told me that's how they terrorize her everyday."

He added: "When next someone asks you why women don't engage in meagre jobs where the law or literacy can't protect them to an extent, show them this. Men make working with them so difficult. If they don't harass you, they bully you."

Crime / Court Convicts Man For N4m Fraud (Photo) by GistMore5: 3:10pm On Aug 07, 2019
The Maiduguri Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, August 7, 2019 secured the conviction and sentencing of one Baba Shehu Hayatu, before Justice Aisha Kumaliya of the Borno State High Court, Maiduguri on a one-count amended charge, bordering on cheating to the tune of N4million.
.
.
It will be recalled that Hayatu was first arraigned and remanded in prison on July 30, 2019 on a two-count charge, bordering on criminal breach of trust and cheating to the tune of N8.5million.
.
.
Before the commencement of his trial, Hayatu, however, opted for a plea bargain arrangement with the EFCC and compensated the nominal complaint with a piece of land and paid the sum of N4million.
.
.
Hayatu's journey to prison started when the EFCC received a petition against him from Mohammed Bukar, alleging that the accused sometime in 2017 approached the nominal complainant and demanded the sum of N4million promising to use the said sum to execute a purported contract awarded to him by his elder brother.
.
.
The amended one-count charge reads: “That you, Baba Shehu Hayatu, sometime in 2017 at Maiduguri, Borno State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly induced one Mohammed Alhaji Bukar to deliver to you the sum of N4,000,000.00 (Four Million Naira) only for payment of execution of a purported contract awarded to you by one Mamman Hayatudeen who resides in Lagos and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Sections 320 (b) and 322 of the Penal Code Laws of Borno State Cap. 102 Vol. 3 of 1994 respectively”.
.
.
He pleaded "guilty" to the charge.
.
.
In view of his plea, prosecuting counsel, H.A. Shehu prayed the court to convict him as charged.
.
.
Thereafter, Justice Kumaliya held that: “You Baba Shehu Hayatu, charged for the offence of cheating is hereby convicted accordingly.”
.
.
During allocutus, counsel for the convict, J. Birem, pleaded for leniency and urged the court to temper justice with mercy.
