The Plateau Police Command on Wednesday in Jos said it had arrested a 17-year-old minor who allegedly killed her husband over his sexual demands.
The minor allegedly killed Lawal Bala, 26, in his sleep on their matrimonial bed on July 8.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Chris Olakpe, said the police had also arrested some suspected criminals.
The minor, who spoke from the police custody, told newsmen that “he was sleeping with me six times in a day.
“I kept complaining to him that I could not stand his sexual urge but he refused to listen to my plea; no family member was ready to help me, so I did what I did. “
She said that she regretted killing him, but that she thought that was the only option left for her to free herself from the pains she was passing through.
According to her, I have realised my mistake and have repented of my sin; all I want is for the authorities to allow me to go home.
The suspect said she was already two months pregnant for her late husband and would want to go home to take care of herself till delivery.
Earlier, Olakpe had said that when the matter was reported, and the minor was arrested, she denied committing the offence.
“But in the cause of investigations, she later confessed to committing the crime and gave reasons, “ he said.
Olakpe, who said that the offence was a culpable homicide, added that she would soon be prosecuted at the Juvenile Court. (NAN)

By Evelyn usman & Uju Mbanusi
LAGOS — Policemen attached to Ilemba Hausa division in Lagos State have arrested a couple and two others who allegedly specialized in abducting children between ages one and four years and selling them to barren women and motherless homes in the eastern part of the country.

So far, about seven children reportedly stolen from their parents’ homes in Lagos and other parts of the country have been recovered from their new homes in Imo, Anambra and Delta states.
The suspects

The suspects

One of the stolen children, Ezeaka Uchenna (4) was picked from his parents’ home, Madu Street, Jakande Ojo, Ajagbadi area of Lagos by one of the suspects, Adaeze Mba, on March 18, 2013 .

Adaeze who packed into same compound with the Ezeakas in January 2013, was said to have gone to purchase tapioca from Uchenna’s mother that fateful day, only to abscond with the child. The couple immediately moved out of the area and allegedly sold the child to a couple in Obosi, Anambra State for N600,000.

However, during investigation, spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, while parading the suspects, yesterday, at the Command’s headquarters, Ikeja, said the policemen acting on a tip-off stormed Ikot Ekpene in Akwa Ibom State where the couple were arrested.

“They confessed to have sold the child to one Mrs Benedict at Asaba, Delta State. We proceeded to Asaba where Mrs Benedict was arrested. She made a confessional statement that she buys and sells children to barren women and that she had sold Uchenna to one Mrs Patricia at Obosi in Anambra State.

“Investigation revealed that the couple had earlier stolen Goodluck Amaechi (3) and Promise Amaechi of same parents in Imo State and sold to Mrs Benedict. Mrs Bendict confirmed their statements and we proceeded to Obosi where the children were recovered from one Church of Goodness Motherless Babies Home.”

Adaeze blames devil

Pregnant Adaeze who hails from Mbatolu Local Government Area of Imo State blamed her indulgence on the devil and her husband, disclosing that they have been in the illicit act for five years.

“Please forgive me. I was talked into it by my husband. He asked me to get a child for him that he would pay me N400,000. When I asked what he wanted to do with the children, he assured me it was not for ritual purpose that his boss, Mrs Benedict takes them to motherless babies home.

Our Modus operandi

“Our targets are usually couples with more than three children. What we do is to move into an area, stay for about two to three months to get quainted with the people and immediately we got any child, we would leave the vicinity for another area where we are not known. We usually rent single room apartments without furnishing them.”

Corroborating her claim, her husband, Mba, said he ventured into the act when his sand dredging business was no longer lucrative.

He said: “When I complained to a friend, he introduced me to Mrs Benedict and since I met her, my life never remained the same.”

He said a male child was more expensive than female, disclosing that Madam Benedict paid him her as much as N600,000 for a male child and four N400,000 for female. But for each child brought by his wife, he said he used to make N200,000 gain.

“What we do is immediately we succeed in stealing a child, we send him/her to my boss who in turn sell to motherless babies home and to barren women. I was responsible for my landlord’s missing children. I sold them for N400,000 each in Mbatolu, Imo State.”

How we arrested Benedict —Police

Vanguard gathered that Mrs Benedict was arrested after the policemen who posed as pregnant women called her on phone to inform her that they had a baby boy for sale. But on arriving the designated point in Asaba, Delta State, the suspect who sensed trouble was said to have zoomed off with one of the police women in her car, in a bid to escape but was overpowered.

The suspects, according to Braide, would be charged to court soon.

On her part, the woman whom the couple sold 4-year-old Uchenna to begged the world to forgive her that she opted to buy the child following her inability to give birth to a child of her own.

“ I was married for 21 years without a child to call mine. Someone introduced me to Benedicta and when I told her I needed a child, she requested for N600,000 but I told her I could not afford that amount. She later called me to meet her at the River Niger bridge at Onitcha. On getting there he handed over the child to me. I told her he was too big but she said that was the only one she had.

I changed Uchenna’s name to Amarachi and enrolled him in a school where I pay N50,000 per term”, said the widow who simply gave her name as Patricia.

On her part, 35 year-old Benedicta Ogbonna, who is a mother of four said she was only involved in the act to help barren women. Asked why she did not offer her own children for sale, she kept mute.

J TOWN FOR LIFE!!!!!!

Only 520,000 of the 1.7 million that
wrote the 2013 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME)
can gain admission, the Minister of
Education, Professor Ruqayyatu
Rufa’I, disclosed yesterday.
Rufai expressed sadness over the
fate of the remaining 1.2 million
candidates whom she said cannot be
accommodated.
The Minister spoke after monitoring
conduct of the UTME within schools
in Abuja and Suleja, Niger State
alongside the Registrar and Chief
Executive of the Joint Admission and
Matriculation (JAMB), Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde.
She called for Private Pubic
Partnership (PPP) to resolve the
crisis despite Federal Government’s
effort in building more universities.
The Minister also solicited for
assistance of state governments in
building more universities.
A total of 1, 629, 102 candidates
applied for the Paper-Pencil Test
(PPT) while 15, 008 candidates
applied for the Dual Based Test
(DBT).
91, 610 candidates applied for the
Computer Based Test (CBT).
The Minister called for acceptance of
CBT because Nigeria cannot afford to
lag behind in development.
She said: “The education sector
being part of the transformation
agenda has to move forward. What
we have just seen today is a simple
transformation from Paper Pencil Test
(PPT) to the dual examination.
“If other countries are moving or
developing, there is no way Nigeria
cannot also move forward.
“It doesn’t mean that if some
students cannot sit for computer
examination then all students in
Nigeria cannot do it.
She added: “There are some who are
good in that and other should learn
that way. We should be advanced
like other countries.
“We have started with the dual
examination where we have taken the
Paper Pencil Test (PPT) and the
Computer Test.
She assured thatresults will be out in
the next 10 days.
On carrying capacity, she said: “Our
major concern is that a country like
Nigeria having over 1.7 million that
have sat for today’s examination and
those that will sit for that of May to
gain entrance into the university and
the space that we have is 520
thousand for University, Polytechnic
and Colleges of Education.
“Assuming that we have 1.7 million
that have sat for the examination and
we have 520 thousand spaces, what
are we going to do with the
remaining 1.2 million candidates?
“We cannot expand our carrying
capacity simply to accommodate the
remaining students without the
expansion of our facilities.
“Our facilities as of today are
basically for the 520 thousand
students and that we are calling for
the improvement in access and we
are calling for the Public Private
Partnership (PPP).”
A male candidate, Isaac Okebe, was
arrested for impersonation and
handed over to the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for
further interrogation.
The candidate refused to answer
questions from newsmen.
Ojerinde said the rightful owner of
the examination number was found to
be in Enugu State after verification.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
will stop printing the naira in polymer
notes by the middle of the year
because they fade quickly, its deputy
governor Tunde Lemo has said.
“By the middle of the year, we will
start to produce the second
generation of lower denomination
notes, now in paper not in polymer,”
he told the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) yesterday in Washington on
the sideline of the ongoing Spring
Meeting of the World Bank and the
IMF.
“My plea is that Nigerians should
exercise patience with us; it wasn’t
the fault of the CBN, it was just
because we had to go back to the
drawing board to rethink ‘Project
Cure’ in the light of the wish of the
public that we should not go ahead
with the N5000 notes and lower
denomination.
“We will correct that in the course of
the year. Polymer certainly will be
phased out. In fact, we are phasing
out polymer. No new note is being
printed in polymer now.”
Lemo told NAN that when the CBN
was going to introduce the polymer
currencies, its search showed that
they could last longer than ordinary
paper notes.
“So, part of `Project cure’ actually
was actually to move away from
polymer substrate to paper,
unfortunately we had a push-back
because of the issues around N5000
note and coins. The entire program
was put in abeyance, otherwise by
now we should have stopped
producing polymer,” he said.
Lemo said the CBN had awarded a
contract for the printing of the higher
denomination notes to a foreign
company because of low capacity at
the Nigerian Security Printing and
Minting Company.
He said the CBN would begin to
receive the fresh notes from June.
On the campaign on the careful
handling of the naira, Lemo said that
it was unfortunate that the campaign
was not successful, but noted that it
was a criminal act to abuse the naira
going by the CBN Act.
“Unfortunately, CBN is not a law
enforcement institution; we left that
in the hands of the law enforcement
institutions and that has not kicked
in,” he said. “I still go to parties and
see people spraying money, stepping
on money, I see touts distributing
mint-fresh money that should go to
customers.”
Lemo also said the CBN had talked to
the police to step up its surveillance
to reduce the abuse of the naira
adding that the bank had no right to
arrest people who sold the naira on
the streets. (NAN)

we need more pix of the car

By Levinus Nwabughiogu
He showed passion as he spoke. He
also radiated adequate knowledge of the
topic being evaluated. And so, at every
stage of the interview, Elder Alwell
Abalogu Onukaogu, Rector, Abia State
Polytechnic, Aba, cited instances and
made several allusions to support his
views. Even though he is a product of
the university system, he doesn’t believe
that there exists any dichotomy between
Higher National Diploma (HND) and
Bachelors of Science/Arts (B.Sc/B.A)
degrees awarded by the polytechnics and
the universities
respectively. Rather he said the holders
of both certificates play complementary
roles.
Excerpts:
As a teacher and head of a polytechnic,
aren’t you disturbed by the disparity
between HND and B. Sc/B.A?
There is no disparity. What we have are
idle minds, minds that are not
well equipped, minds that think that the
brandishing of certificate is what
determines; there is no disparity. The
Nigerian Law and Educational Policy is
very clear about it. Those who think
about disparity are those who think that
the eyes must perform the same function
as the noses or the fore limbs must
perform the same function as the hind
limbs. It can never be so. But think of
the entire system as a human body, then
you know that none is superior and none
is inferior. So, the idea of thinking about
the superiority or inferiority of a B.Sc
and HND is something that derived from
a negative mind and a mind that is not
well informed. Let me tell you, School
Cert is not even inferior to B.Sc. The
artisan is not
inferior to the engineer. The professor is
not superior to the headmaster.
Everybody has his role in the system.
Where anyone fails, the entire system
collapses. So, there is no real
controversy. It is just ignorance that is
playing itself out in Nigeria.
If that is the case, why do some
employers of labour put bar against the
holders of HND?
When I was growing up, we had Standard
Bank of West Africa, Barclays Bank, First
Bank is not what it is today. If you were
to work in those banks, you didn’t even
need Grade One, you didn’t need School
Cert. All you needed was to fail your
School Cert
or to have what we called “Government
Class Four”. The reason was that these
ones are not going to leave tomorrow for
the university. And they worked in those
banks. And the banks did not fail. What
am I saying? You don’t need B.Sc to be
a counter-clerk in any bank. What is
happening is that banks are exploiting
the economic situation. When you hear of
slave labour, when you hear of the
exploitation of the youth; that is what is
happening.
There is a bank; I won’t mention its
name, that hires staff with HND and
others for N30.000 per month to do the
job that they do and, at the end of the
year, declare billions. What is happening
is that the economy is low and the
employer has his way. You don’t even
need Adams Smith economics to know
that there is a relationship between
supply and demand. The supply now is
far more than the demand in terms of
labour arising from the economy.
That’s why you hear Dangote talking
about PhD holders applying to be drivers
in his establishments. So, what is
happening is that the banking institutions
in particular and several others are just
exploiting the downturn in the economy.
The day the economy picks up; you will
look for people without certificates to
play their role in the economy. Now,
when I say that there is no dichotomy,
what I mean is that the educational
system is so clad that the polytechnic
product has a specific role to play which
the university graduate cannot. The
university graduate has a specific role to
play which the polytechnic graduate
cannot. Those in the oil companies, what
degrees do they have, particularly
those doing white collar jobs? Some of
them are not more than technicians or
technologists. They are very well paid,
not on the basis of their certificates but
on the basis of their productivity. I have
built so many projects in Abia State
Polytechnic and I have had situations
where we have gone to Togo, to Benin
Republic to look for bricklayers who
know how to plaster. We would have
been willing to pay them more than we
would have been willing to pay those
degree holders. So, it is not a question of
whether you are a university product or a
polytechnic product. Everybody has a
role to play. The most important thing
is, can you play your role effectively?
Would you have held this opinion
assuming you were not within the
polytechnic system?
I have university first and second
degrees and I know what I was trained to
be and I know it took me about five years
of hard work to acclimatize and
domesticate myself to the polytechnic
environment. And I know what we teach
and I know the circumstances under
which we study. So I am in a good
position to know. The university graduate
is a theorist. He is a designer. He draws
the plans, he does the concept, but he
cannot bring them into being, but the
polytechnic person practicalizes. He
realizes. He nurtures. That is the
difference. The university person designs
and leaves it as designed. But until it
comes into functionality which is the duty
of the polytechnic graduate, it is useless.
So, no one can do without the other.
Someone has to do the designing.
Someone has to do the actualization.
*Onukaogu
Some people believe that the society
stigmatizes the polytechnic graduate…
I said it is a mindset. That is the problem
and this is happening because of the
pace of the economy. Before I went to
Government College in 1976, my brother,
who is ,today, a Professor of English in
the University of Ife, was a clerk in the
Ministry of Works in Abakalika. He had a
boss who had City and Guild and he was
in charge of road maintenance from
Abakalika to Ogoja. The Head of Ministry
of Works in Abakalika was a B.Sc holder
in civil engineering but the man who did
his work was a City and Guildl’s man
and it was so in various other divisions.
If you go to Shell, some of these
expatriates don’t even have degrees.
They are people with diplomas in
underwater wielding. But once you leave
the university or the polytechnic at
convocation, nobody will ask you which
school you attended. What is important
is, what is your contribution? As a
bricklayer, can you plaster well? If you
are a carpenter, can you do the job well?
That is what is important. It is only in
those days when you are doing your
convocation that people will say,’This
one went to university, and this one went
to polytechnic’. In the end, it is your
output that determines your value in the
society. The medical doctor, for instance,
the greatest surgeon, as competent as he
is, cannot do without anesthesia, and
sometime he cannot do the work of the
radiologist who will look at the inner
organs and tell him his findings. He
cannot even do without the technician
who will mount the light. If in the process
any of these electrical appliances fails,
all will come to naught. What I am
saying is that every sub unit is supposed
to contribute to the success of the total
system. Nobody is superior to the other.
If that is the case, why are people with
university degrees placed on salary
scales higher than their HND
counterparts?
It is still a mindset.Those who went with
degrees to the banks went to apply their
theories in failure. I told you that those in
Barclays Bank could not have failed.
Now, because of salary scales of
bankers, those who had degrees caused
the banks to collapse. The collapse of
banks was facilitated by them. Now, you
don’t need a B.Sc to punch a computer
to balance an account in a bank.
Anybody who has a reasonable level of
computer literacy can work in a bank
because programs have been set and put
in them. You know it and you operate
them. You have first class in economics
and you go and sit in a computer in a
bank and you say they are paying you. I
have said that the banks are exploiting a
situation where the economy is slow,
where there are so many unemployed
people looking for very few jobs. Let me
tell you, in the next six months, if the
situation does not change, you need to
have a PhD to be a bank clerk.
How would you rate admission into
universities and the polytechnics?
We do the same entrance examination.
The entry qualifications are the same:
five credits for polytechnics, five credits
for universities.
Have you not noticed the preference for
university?
The simple reason is that we are in a
culture where people are fooled into
thinking that brandishing the degree is an
indication of knowledge. One of the
problems we have in the education
system in Nigeria today is that education
is no longer for the educatable. The
educatable, many of them can’t even go
to school. Those who go to school are
those who can afford the fees. Tell me,
which honest civil servant or public
servant can train a child in Covenant
University? Which honest public servant
or civil servant can train a child in
Madonna University, not to talk of the
one in Adamawa they call American
University? When we went to school, you
didn’t need to be a rich father. All you
needed was to show the potentials and
government will make sure you they train
you. Today, only those who can pay can
go to university, when I say “can pay”,
not only paying the fees but also the
lecturers, so that even when they don’t
go to class, they get their certificates and
come out.
In the polytechnic system, you hardly
can see a professor?
Can you recall how both systems came
into being? The law that established the
polytechnic system says it is our duty to
produce middle-level manpower. The law
that established the university says that
their duty is to produce high-level
manpower. Let us assume that the
university produces the head and
secondary school produce the limbs, we
produce the linear region, tell me a
human being that does not have head
and has leg whether he is alive.
Sometimes, like the men say they are the
head of the family. Tell me a family that
succeeds without the neck. So, the
principle of complementary is there. In
the US and other advanced countries, the
university lecturer/ professor has his
recognition, so does the mechanic, so
does the brick layer. But here, if you are
not a scientist, you are doomed. Tell me
a country that legislates against arts in
preference of science. A good
government will give level playing ground
so that you realize what you can
according to the competence.
You have been a teacher in both
systems. How would you compare both?
I will never talk about tales of superiority
or inferiority, better or worse, but I will
say that when I taught in the university, I
taught as somebody contributing his
quota. I don’t think that the quota I
contributed to the university system is
superior to what I am contributing in the
polytechnic; in fact, it is more difficult in
the polytechnic that teaching in the
university. In the polytechnic, you are in
an environment that people find difficult
to appreciate. For you to perform to the
level of appreciation of the biased
general public, you have to work harder
than in the university. But I thank God
that I am serving in the polytechnic
sector because any country that does not
pay adequate attention to its
technicians is doomed. The problem we
have in this country is that we are much
more concerned with the roof of the
house. We spend so much money
designing the roof, consolidating it and
we put the roof on a feeble foundations.
That’s why it is collapsing. The
foundation is the primary and secondary
schools. Look at our primary and
secondary schools and see what they
are. You have about 150 polytechnics
and universities of science and
technology; we don’t have up to 60
technical colleges. Of the secondary
schools we have, 20 percent of them
may not have functional
physics,chemistry and biology
laboratories. But we have very
sophisticated tertiary institutions in
science and technology. We have roofs,
the lighting system is euphoric, long
span, everything, but the foundation is on
Indian bamboo. It cannot last.
There are calls to confer university
status on some polytechnnic. What do
you think?
It is not necessary. Let the universities
do their job, let the polytechnic do their
job. The bricklayer can never be forced
to be a carpenter and vice versa.
Polytechnics have a mandate. Let us do
our job and let the universities do their
job. Can everybody be a graduate? Is it
necessary? Is it necessary that every
body must have PhD? The National
Universities Commission (NUC) says for
you to be in the university, you must
have a PhD. Nonsense. Big nonsense
and that is why today, many people who
have not gone to university have
acquired PhD. It wasn’t so before. Those
who are making these decrees did not
acquire PhD. The NUC Executive
Secretary, ask him, did he have PhD
before he taught in the university? He
didn’t. If you had second class upper or
a good first degree, you became a
graduate assistant or a research fellow
and then you started teaching and
understudying the senior people and you
began to read. In the next five to six
years, you own your PhD. So, the
university did not allow its best brains to
leave the shores. They did not work in oil
companies. They did not go to banks.
That’s how it was done. That’s why
somebody like Achebe became a
professor without PhD. But today, you go
and get all sorts of people to acquire
Ph.D through dubious and bogus means.
That does not make them good university
teachers. Some sound first degrees,
second class upper and school cert
holders can do far better than people
with amorphous PhDs. I am not saying
that it is a crime to have Ph.D but I am
saying that you don’t need to start with
PhD.
There is no university that is worth its
salt that allows its very good degree
holders to go, you keep and nurture
them.
Have you noticed that some universities
and even polytechnics have left what
they are supposed to be offering
conventionally and delved into other
disciplines, For instance, a university of
agriculture offers law and polytechnic
offering management courses like
accountancy?
I don’t see polytechnics offering what
they are not supposed to offer. What we
call it is accounting technology. But the
point is that the polytechnic should not
do more than 30 percent humanity-
based. For instance, there should be no
polytechnic that does not have
engineering or environment sciences. But
that does not mean you cannot produce
technologists in accounting. We can and
there is nothing wrong with that. And you
find that if you want to test, if you bring
an HND holder with a B.Sc holder and
subject him to some of the exams of the
Chartered Institute of Accounting (ICAN),
you will find out that the polytechnic
person will do better because he
is grounded in the practical aspect of
accounting. The difference is not in the
programme or the course but it is what
they tend to achieve. When a university
begins to award diploma, then they derail
because only the polytechnics by law are
authorized to award diploma. The only
the certificate universities can award is
post-graduate diploma. Now, a
polytechnic cannot also go and award

the problem. You can teach accounting
in the polytechnics to produce
technologists while the university man
teaches accounting to produce an
administrator.
