Police Arrest Fake Revenue Collectors in Lagos

Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested four suspects for extorting motorists in the State while posing as officials of the disbanded Lagos State Committee on the Removal of Abandoned Vehicles (RAVC).

The arrested suspects are: Taiwo Falodun, aka Biggy (48), Adedire Olaniyi (42), Femi Osunkoya (53) and Olalekan Edu (51).
Two of the suspects, Adedire and Osunkoya, were apprehended yesterday after impounding the vehicle of a motorist for changing lanes at Alausa.

The motorist stated that the suspects took her vehicle to a park in front of Elephant Cement House, where she was asked to pay N50,000 as fine. She, however, reached out to friends who contacted the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).

The RRS arrived the scene promptly, arrested the suspects and commenced preliminary investigations. While investigation was ongoing, their leader, one Taiwo Falodun, came along with a government official, identified as Olalekan Edu to solicit the release of the arrested suspects. They were both arrested too.

RRS fingerprint records showed that Taiwo Falodun and Adedire Olaniyi were once arrested in 2020 for extorting a university professor while posing as local government officials on LASU-Igando Road.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, fdc has directed the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi to charge the suspects to court at the conclusion of investigations.

The Foundation for Environmental Rights, Advocacy & Development (FENRAD), whose legal team he headed, described Bamgbose as a strong voice on matters of good governance and human rights advocacy.

Comrade Nelson Nnanna Nwafor, Executive Director of FENRAD, in a statement, said Bamgbose was “richly endowed with political sagacity and was consistent in holding governments to account as he lent his voice to the most critical of national and local issues.

“Through his intervention and actions, government relaxed many unpopular policies. He was a fine gentleman, very hardworking, a lovely husband, father and friend to all.

“His humble mien, approach and disposition endeared him to many. Throughout his stay on earth, he was truly committed to the promotion and protection of environmental, human, and democracy rights which aligned with FENRAD’s goals.

“We made many wins working together through his wise and ever-ready counsel. He led and piloted our legal department with such impeccable professionalism as a lawyer properly called.

“We are indeed pained by this loss and pray that God, in this trying time, grants his family – immediate and extended – the fortitude to bear this huge loss; same we also pray for on his friends, learned colleagues and those who by this exit are pained.

“Barr. Olusegun Bamgbose will be terribly missed.

“May his gentle soul find rest in the bosom of the Almighty. Adieu to the great iroko, an icon and a towering legal luminary!”

NIGERIANS DESERVE YOUNG, ENERGETIC AND VIBRANT LEADERS WITH PROVEN INTEGRITY: AND THIS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH NEW NIGERIA -DR BONIFACE

February 9, 2021

The National Chairman and Founder of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Dr. Boniface Okechukwu Aniebonam has declared that Nigerians deserve young, energetic and vibrant candidates as leaders at various levels and “this is possible through NNPP our great party that has shown example by bringing this class of youths onboard our Working Committee at national, zonal, state and local government levels and they are living up to expectations as the party is waxing stronger daily”.

He made the disclosures while presenting the “Interested Aspirants Online E-Registration Portal” to the public, in a statement issued by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Rev. Emmanuel Olorunmagba on his behalf.

Dr. Boniface urges vibrant and energetic youths of proven integrity that have cognate working experience at managerial levels in businesses, corporate bodies or any organisation where they have managed personnel and finances at high level to aspire for leadership positions in the country towards building a New Nigeria.

The Chairman stressed that experience is vital in leadership because it will be disastrous to give inexperienced people high leadership positions in a country or state, but the youths can gather relevant experience in different spheres and grow in the system rather than sitting on the fence.

“If you are interested in contesting you can’t continue to sit on the fence thinking of how to get party ticket: the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) under my leadership has offered you the opportunity to get the ticket and have your name on INEC portal and ballot papers if you are qualified. Visit our E-Registration Portal through this link https://www.nnpp.org.ng/new-contestants/ to register online expressing your interest.

“As there is no room for independent candidature in Nigeria for now, with the way it is like passing through the eye of a needle get party tickets of the two major political parties in Nigeria, no matter how competent the youths are, it will be so difficult if not impossible for you to come to power at any level in Nigeria except anyone whose biological father is in power or was once in power: If not for a party like New Nigeria People’s Party that can make that possible based on competence!”

The astute politician and business mogul, Dr Boniface expressed satisfaction in the leadership of the party comprise mainly of youths. “For instance, in piloting the affairs of our great party, NNPP, we have given vibrant youths opportunities and we have not regretted it, rather we keep experiencing new innovation and seeing the party flying higher daily, so we hope the youths will do well if they assume political power based on their level of competence”, he concludes.

Why would Kwakwanso drop his presidential ambition for Peter Obi? Those who started the rumor of Peter Obi flying the presidential flag of NNPP are simply senseless. Kwakwanso formed NNPP to win Kano and further his presidential ambition. If Peter Obi Pandora want to be contest for president at all cost, he should join any of the existing useless parties or form his own party. Nobody owes him anything.
