Old news

The case is ongoing till today, before you Google anything check the day that CNN reported it...25/02/2025

COMRADES, even birds of the air know that IBB never wanted it to happen

Let bygone be bygone abeg

COMRADES, based on the western media propaganda, I used to think that massive corruption and theft (immorality) are peculiar to Nigerians and Africans alone; honestly, if not because of this revelation, all this while, I've been regarding the whites as being saints

It was not your typical smash and grab burglary and the booty was precious: a toilet worth more than its weight in gold. The one of its kind, 18-carat gold was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim palace the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winson Churchill was born, in the predown hours of September 14, 2019, the prosecutor told jurors on Monday

Attorney Julian Christian said in his opening statement Crown Oxford Court that it was an 'audacious raid'. One of three men on trial in the case of purloined potty was involved in the stealing it and the other two helped to sell the spoil. The toilet has never been recovered butis believed to have been cut up and sold!

The satirical work, titled 'America' by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan, poked fun at excessive wealth. It weighed just over 215 pounds (98 kilograms) and was insured £4.8m ($6m). The value of the gold at that time was £2.8m ($3.5m).

The price had previously been on displayed at Guggenheim museum in New York. The museum has offered the work to US President Donald Trump during his first term in office after he had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting.

One of the defendants, Michael Jones, cased tge palace twice in the weeks leading up to the theft, once before the toilet went on display at Blenheim palace and up close and personal once it was installed and fully functional as an exhibit, Christopher said. Visitors to the exhibition could book a three-minute to use the toilet. Both times, Jones could took photos of the window that was later smashed to break into the palace. The second time he also took photos from inside the bathroom, including a photo of the lock on the toilet door

'There can be no doubt that he was carrying out a reconnaissance for the burglary that was to take place later that night', Christopher said. 'That would be enough to make him guilty of count one of burglary'.

But Jones was probably among the group of five men who crashed through the wooden gates of the palace before dawn the next morning in two stolen vehicles. Christopher said, they tore a field in an Isuzu truck and VW Golf and pulled up to the front steps, where they smashed the window Jones has photographed.

They made quick work of breaking down the toilet door and removed the golden throne from the plumbing, leaving water gushing from the pipes that caused considerable damage to the 18th-century building a UNESCO world heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture that draws thousands of visitors each year.

Jones was in cahoots with James Sheen, a builder he worked for who was part of both the burglary and the effort to sell the gold, Christopher said. Sheen 40, previously pleaded guilty to burglary, conspiracy, and transferring criminal property.

Sheen then allegedly worked to broker a deal with Fred Doe and Bora Guccuk to cash in on the haul. In a series of text messages he referred to the 'loot' as a 'car',but Christopher said he was actually talking about the gold. 'I'll link up with ya' I got something right up your path' Sheen told Doe in one message. 'I can sell that car for you in two seconds'...so come and see me tomorrow', Doe said in a reply. Doe, 36, and Guccuk 41, are charged with one count conspiracy to transfer criminal property. All the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

COMRADES, this name is just symbolic nothing special about it; full activities for hotels go on there

COMRADES, I and my contemporaries spent:
5kobo
10kobo
50kobo
1Naira

COMRADES are speechless, I remember the cases of Wande Coal, Anita Morgan, Tiwa Savage, Moye Lawal, and Kim Kadashan that year

COMRADES, honestly, I pity South Africa, because these white people are going to 'seize' the remaining 8% of the land in South Africa left for the black South Africans

COMRADES are speechless, please they should be dealt with according to the dictate of the law; you no go know say these kind people no get joy until you fall in their trap

COMRADES, not only Tinubu's policies, the entire policies of APC is wack

COMRADES, were you not alive when Buhari was doing same? This is the only pattern of leadership that the evil APC is very good at

COMRADES are speechless, NNPP still dey suspend members? How will the party grow? Instead of the political party to devise means that would get them more members like LP and PDP they are doing the opposite

COMRADES, though, I am not a fan of Tinubu, but if Tinubu is responsible for Hellrufai disqualification during ministerial screening, so be it because Hellrufai is a menace for Christianity in Nigeria

COMRADES, so Hellrufai is still pained over the lost of the ministerial slot? I thought he said that he didn't need the position anymore because he has been in government for long? Is Hellrufai not among those who imposed this evil regime of MU-MU tickets on us? What is he trying to say now? Let karma kee him there

COMRADES, kudos to the police for arresting the idiot; no peace for the wicked says the Lord

COMRADES, whether Uba Sani and Ribadu are El'Rufai's friends or not is none of our business; the evil that El'Rufai sowed in Kaduna State is going after him now

COMRADES, already we knew that before a Nigerian artiste becomes they must compromise in some ways

COMRADES, congratulations to them, why once Nigerian women give birth their face looks 40 even in their 20s
Nigerian girls make una dey enter gym to continue looking sweet 16 abeg

COMRADES, honestly this woman is trying, BBC condemned the good works that TB Joshua did after his demise but is having a secret affair with the terrorist organisation (Hamas)

What a nonsense

COMRADES, I don't know why some people like challenging the police while carrying fire arms, you know some of them are drunkards, frustrated and sadists; any minor argument na to fire shot indiscriminately

COMRADES are speechless, I don't know why some girls these days like stealing

aswani:
The lady in question is not Nigerian, where is the challenge?

They are doing this because her daughter won pageantry for Nigeria

[quote author=PrinceofSarcasm post=134257993]She isn't Nigerian, mugu [/quote
As long as Adetshina, Chidimma was mentioned, South Africans are not happy with it...so rest your case

COMRADES, well, if leaving will do them good, they should, but not relocating to Nigeria at the moment

COMRADES, South Africa is over challenging Nigeria and I don't know why. The essence of this arrest is to embarrass Nigeria

What a shame

COMRADES, for Israel to truly have peace, Palestinians should be relocated permanently to Egypt and Jordan or elsewhere in the desert

COMRADES, may God punish anyone who doesn't like this Trump government, under his leadership the world would experience some peace
He's trying to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine
Israel and Hamas
When Bokoharam is finally eliminated Nigeria and other countries will also heave a sight of relief

COMRADES, does the police has the constitutional power to forbid an election? The evil that APC does not do does not exist

What a shame

COMRADES are speechless, well, partners don't ask some of us to do weird things for them because we're alfamales

COMRADES, I totally agree with OSUN PDP'S allegation, since you see after this IG's retirement age in the police is due but APC refused to let him go, there is a dirty business they want him to do for them
