Crime › Rapist On Rampage??? by gratiaeo(op): 7:08am On Apr 10, 2013
What is this country turning into? Government should as matter of urgent do something about this cancer devouring this nation.

…53-yr-old mother cries out;
the man that raped my
daughter is after my life
A 53-year-old food vendor at
the popular Ojuelegba park in
Lagos simply identified as
Madam Ganiyat, has cried out
to relevant authorities over
alleged threat to her life by a
member of the NURTW
Ojuelegba branch (name
withheld) after she sued him
for raping her daughter.
Ganiyat from Ijebu in Ogun
state told Crime Alert that the
victim (name with held on
victim’s wish) is her third child
and that she was 22 years old
when the ugly incident took
place. She was also said to be
a student at Anse-Udeen
College of Education, Isolo
while waiting for admission
into the university. The
distraught woman narrated
her plight.
How I received the news
It was a rainy afternoon on
June 20th , 2010; Ayo who
works as a tout ( agbero) with
the NURTW, Ojuelegba, had
called on my daughter to
bring cooked cassava floor
(Amala’)and meat worth N150
to him in his office at Number
30, Makinde street,
Ojuelegba, because, according
to him, he does not want to be
seen eating outside with his
ordinary hand. Not suspecting
anything, my daughter took
the food to him. I was busy
attending to my other
customers when she came
back crying with bruises all
over her body. Some people
at the building where it
happened brought her to me.
When asked what happened,
she told me that she had just
been raped by Ayola.. At first,
it was like she was speaking in
a language I could not
understand. I stood gazing at
space for the first 20 minutes.
I was confused. The thought of
my daughter being raped on
the bare floor because she was
assisting me was hitting me so
bad. What was her crime?
Why should she be meted with
that kind of treatment. I was in
this state when my colleagues
advised me to go and report
the incident at the police
station.
We all went and they gave me
two police women to
accompany me to effect Ayo’s
arrest. They went with me and
arrested him. We were then
advised by the police to go and
get a medical report to this
effect. We went to Lagos
Island Medical Center and she
carried out all the necessary
tests. It was confirmed that she
had been raped. I have a copy
of the result here with me.
After this, Ayo was arrested
and later released in July,
2010; because the police said it
was a bailable offense. My
grievance now is that after he
was released, Ayo has been
boasting to people that my
daughter is just one of his
trophies, that he can rape any
lady he wants and nothing will
happen. He is a serial rapist.
He has been raping women,
even before the incident with
my daughter, he had raped one
Titi, a bread seller at Yaba.
It is also on record that he had
raped his wife’s friend and his
19 year -old landlord’s
daughter. After my daughter’s
case, he raped a girl inside one
of the primary schools at
Mushin. She was seen crying
under a tree in the school
compound. When she
mentioned what Ayo did to
her, everybody was shouting
‘Ayo again, Ayo again; nothing
was done to him after that. All
I am crying for is for justice to
be done to this case. I almost
ran mad when I saw my
daughter crying that she had
been raped. I have been
hearing stories of rape victims,
but I didn’t know it would
affect me this way.
My husband and I went
through a lot for two weeks
after the rape incident. We
could not come out from our
house. What he does is to bet
among his friends that he will
sleep with a lady and then he
goes ahead to rape that
woman. We gathered that he
had a bet with some of his
friends that complained that
my daughter has been proving
hard to get, that they should
wait and see, that he will get
her.
The Threat:
The accused had threatened
that if I don’t withdraw the
case from the court, he will
send his gang after me. I have
mentioned this threat to the
Magistrate. I have also gone to
a radio station, ‘Bond FM’ after
the incident to make it public,
I took the matter to Poverty
Alleviation Office at Alausa-
Ikeja, they gave me a date that
I should come, when I went on
the said date, they told me that
already my daughter has
matured, moreover, that Ayo
was not the one who dis-
virgined her. After that, they
did not do anything about the
case. I was heart broken.”
Counsel to the defendant,
Imelda Adebambo who also
spoke with Crime Alert said, “
It is an offense for any man to
have canal knowledge of any
woman without her consent.
The accused has been on this
for so long, and the other
women affected have not had
the courage to come out. In
this case, I believe the law will
take it’s cause and justice will
be done.

Uhuru Kenyatta takes oath as Kenyan president
Tweet
April 9, 2013 | 12:02 pm
News

NAIROBI  (AFP) – Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn as Kenya’s fourth president on Tuesday to cheers from tens of thousands of supporters, despite facing an international crimes against humanity trial.

“I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Republic of Kenya,” Kenyatta said, clutching a bible as he took the oath of office.

Kenyatta, wearing a dark suit and red tie, also pledged to “protect and uphold, the sovereignty, integrity and dignity of the people of Kenya”.

Officials had to appeal for quiet as 60,000 people packed into Kenya’s national football stadium chanted Kenyatta’s name and roared in support as they danced.

William Ruto, who like Kenyatta faces trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity in The Hague, took the oath of office as vice-president.

“I will always truly and diligently serve the people and the Republic of Kenya in the office of the deputy president,”

“I will do justice to all without fear, favour, affection and ill will,” he added.

Security was heavy as Kenyatta loyalists, dressed in the red colours of the winning Jubilee Coalition party, waved as military bands played tunes to welcome the new leader and say farewell to outgoing President Mwai Kibaki, 81, retiring after more than a decade in power.

Before handing over power Kibaki circled the stadium waving to crowds from an open topped vehicle and accompanied by a guard of honour.

Heads of state of Kenya’s neighbours watching the ceremony included Ethiopia’s Hailemariam Desalegn, Somalia’s Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, South Sudan’s Salva Kiir, Tanzania’s Jakaya Kikwete and Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni.

Western nations, many of whom have a policy of only “essential contact” with ICC indictees, have said they sent ambassadors to the ceremony.

Politics › Remembering Thatcher's Nigeria Visit In 1988 by gratiaeo(op): 11:55am On Apr 09, 2013
By Uduma Kalu & Prince
Osuagwu
It is arguable whether the late
British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher was
regarded as a friend of Africa
or not. But obviously her
policies towards the continent
were viewed with anger and
condemnation.
More so, her son, Mark, was
jailed for plotting a coup
against the government of
Equatorial Guinea.
Margaret Thatcher
No wonder when she visited
Lagos, Nigeria on January 7,
1988, she was greeted with
protests. Although the protest
was peaceful, the trade union
leaders burned the British flag
However, the demonstration in
Nigeria was mainly against
Britain’s support for apartheid
in South Africa. Thatcher had
come from Kenya after three
successful days. Nigeria was
the final leg of her African tour
but she was to meet a critical
crowd including the military
government, which was in
power at the time and the
vocal press.
For the first time Thatcher was
forced to admit that Britain
would do more to help dislodge
Apathied in South Africa.
But the quintessential Thacher
was as diplomatic as ever in
responses to the allegations
and protests.
Hear her: “You gave me a full
account of Nigeria’s
demanding economic recovery
programme, for which I
expressed full support. And we
also discussed a number of
wider African and
international problems.
I believe— and I hope you will
agree— that we have as a result
taken an important step in
removing any remaining
misunderstandings between
Nigeria and Britain, and in
putting our relations on a
thoroughly sound and friendly
footing.
One aspect of our relations
which is particularly important
to us, and, I believe, to you, is
the military one. Our links are
substantial and long-standing.
You and I devoted some time
to discussing them today, and I
told you of our offer to provide
financial assistance for
Nigeria’s military training
needs.
“Over the last two years, we
have watched with interest and
sympathy your efforts to
relaunch Nigeria’s economy on
a sounder footing.
On South Africa, she said,
“Similar patience and
persistence will be needed in
tackling one of the most
fundamental problems facing
this continent and the world, a
problem which arouses intense
feeling in Britain as well as in
Nigeria: that of apartheid in
South Africa. I know how
strongly I would feel if I were
discriminated against because
of the colour of my skin, and I
therefore understand the anger
and the frustration felt by
others.
“Apartheid is a repulsive and a
detestable system; a deep
affront to human dignity and
basic human rights. In its
place we want to see a just
society with a non-racial,
representative system of
government, under which all
South Africans enjoy full
political rights.
There is no difference between
us in wanting to see that
achieved. But the idea that the
collapse of apartheid can be
achieved by a concerted push
from outside to destroy the
South African economy is, I
believe, an illusion. Punitive
pressures would make the
problems worse and multiply
beyond all recognition the
hardships already suffered by
black South Africans and their
children.
Further these pressures would
do untold damage to the
economies of South Africa’s
neighbouring states, and do
corresponding harm to the
well-being and hopes of their
peoples”.

Politics › Again, 27 Killed In Another Clash In Plateau by gratiaeo(op): 7:23am On Apr 09, 2013
By Taye Obateru
Jos: About 25 people are
believed to have been killed at
Zango village in Wase LGA of
Plateau State as ethnic militia
engaged in fresh hostilities.
The killings which is believed
to be a continuation of
hostilities between the Tarok
and the Fulani left several
casualties on both sides.
It was learn that armed militia
invaded Wase town yesterday
afternoon but were repelled by
the town’s vigilante members
who pursued and killed many
of them.
“Shortly after we completed
Zuhur prayers we heard
gunshots being fired into our
community and everybody
started running, but we were
able to chase the militants
away and burnt their camps
around the area.
“Five of our youths were killed
and we brought back their
corpses while I saw over 20
corpses that do not belong to
us”, Safi Sambo, a youth
leader from Wase was quoted
as saying.
A Tarok traditional ruler,
Jessey Pyenkwam, was also
quoted as confirming that
much of Zango, a Tarok
settlement, had been razed.
According to him, “It’s sad
that this crisis has taken this
turn; it is even more sad that it
is being seen as a Tarok-Fulani
confrontation because both
communities need each other.”
Spokesman of the Special Task
Force (STF) in the state
Captain Salisu Mustapha
confirmed that there had been
attacks around Wase but could
not give the exact number of
those killed

dasparrow: Though I am not Yoruba, I just want to say that this child molestation issue is a Nigerian problem. Many if not most Nigerian bred males are perverts/pedo*philes. Nigerian society is a chauvinist society where females are seen as fair game thereby making it one of the worse countries if not worst country to live in as a female.

This is why Nigeria will never progress because defiling a child's body is one of the worst crimes you can commit on another human being and God don't like ugly. Just look at the way Nigerians die untimely deaths like chickens each day. It is because of the sins of the nation. Nigerians better repent before it becomes too late.
You are on point but the case is alarming in Yoruba land, as if their life depend on it

Crime › South West At It Again: Ogun Probe Orphanage Rape by gratiaeo(op): 6:57pm On Apr 08, 2013
The Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs has begun investigation into the alleged rape incident at the Light of Hope Orphanage, Akute.

The Director of the orphanage, identified simply as Mr. Atunde was arrested last Wednesday by Zone 2 Police Command for allegedly having sex with two minors.

Atunde was accused of having sex with two of the minors (names withheld), after one of them showed up at her school, unable to walk properly, with blood dripping down her legs.

The 13-year-old claimed Atunde forced her to have sex with him.

The school authorities immediately notified Project Alert on Violence Against Women, a non-governmental organisation, which in turn notified the Zone 2 through a petition.

PUNCH Metro gathered on Saturday that the orphanage had been visited by officials of the ministry.

The Commissioner of Women Affairs, Mrs. Elizabeth Sonubi, told PUNCH Metro on the telephone that the ministry had convened a meeting of orphanages in the state.

She said, "We would like to know if they are registered and when the registration was done. As for Light of Hope Orphanage, we have begun investigation. Our officials have visited the place but I will need a complete report before making any statement.

"I am aware that the accused has already been arrested. We need to take proactive measures so that the other children in the orphanage don't suffer. For now though, we are still investigating."

Currently, about 22 children live at the orphanage, most of whom are minors.

As at press time, it was unclear if Atunde had regained his freedom from police custody. Sources told PUNCH Metro that as of Friday last week, Atunde was still trying to perfect his bail conditions.

A source said, "I know he was still trying to fulfill his bail conditions as of Friday last week. However, I cannot say if he was successful in doing that or not."

There was no response from the Zone Two Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Balogun. He did not reply the calls or text messages sent to his phone.

But out correspondent learnt on Sunday that Atunde secured his bail on Saturday

Politics › How Police In Lagos Foil Traders Plot To Kill Colleague by gratiaeo(op): 6:24pm On Apr 08, 2013
The Lagos State Police
Command has arrested a trader
in Alaba International Market,
Anthony Nwogu, for attempting
to kill his colleague, Afam
Anazodo, in Isheri area of the
state.
According to police authorities,
Nwogu and another person at
large on March 21, 2013, set out
to kill Anazodo at his home
when policemen stopped them
for another offence.
It was learnt that after
interrogation, Nwogu also
confessed that he was going to
murder Anazodo, he described
as a wicked businessman.
A police source said, "In the
afternoon of March 21, Nwogu
and another person he
identified as Oyinbo, were
attempting to snatch a car at
gunpoint around Satellite Town
when policemen sighted them.
On seeing the policemen, they
threw a gun they were using
into the nearby bush and fled.
"Nwogu was later arrested while
the other guy escaped. Upon
interrogation, he confessed that
they were on their way to
murder Anazodo, adding that
they needed the vehicle for
transport.
"He also confessed that the gun
was licensed but did not belong
to him."
Nwogu said Anazodo deserved
to be killed because of the
wicked manner which he
operated his business.
He said, "I own four shops in
Alaba Market where I sell label
compact discs. However, Afam
(Anazodo) outsells us through
his wicked schemes. We had
reported him to policemen, but
he always managed to go scot-
free while our business suffered.
"One day, I approached another
colleague of mine, Nnaemeka
Njoku, who owns a licensed
gun. I told him that he should
lend me the gun and that I
wanted to use it for an
operation. He agreed but said I
would have to give him my car
as collateral and he would
return it to me after I had
returned the gun.
"I had planned with Oyinbo
that we would storm Afam's
house and kill him. I don't know
how to use a gun so Oyinbo
agreed that he would pull the
trigger. On our way to Afam's
house, we decided that it would
be better if we used a stolen car
to carry out our operation to
avoid being traced. It was while
we were trying to snatch a car
that policemen arrested me."
PUNCH Metro learnt that the
owner of the gun, Njoku, had
also been arrested by policemen
at Area E Command.
It was learnt that upon
searching his home, policemen
also recovered a bulletproof
vest.
Njoku, who claimed to own
seven shops in the same
market, said he had no hand in
the crime as he only lent Nwogu
his gun.
"My pump-action gun is
licensed. I have seven shops
and I import kitchen utensils. I
did not join them in the
operation and I should be
released," he said.
The spokesperson for the state
police command, Ngozi Braide,
said the suspects would soon be
charged to court.
"A double-barrelled gun was
recovered from them and they
will be charged with attempted
murder," she said.

The truth of the matter is that the amnesty program which was implemented in the SS, in favour of MEND, is a great success, by any measure. It significantly reduced the killings, kidnappings, and negative economic impacts. It is time to support the President in his latest effort at resolving the Boko Haram issue.
