Obiagelli: oh i didn't know that, i have never seen their uniforms or vehicle, are they under public works?

Reptyle: Chief the drains are covered. The work up to Mile 2 was handled by Julius Berger who have a reputation for doing quality work.

Obiagelli: the lasg is un serious about this drainage crisis, the government should set up a ministry or an agency in charge of drainage management. They should be will equipped with the latest clearing facilities as well as patrol vehicles and should be able to arrest offenders too.

Jakumo: Actually that Boeing 767 was magically diverted by Juju witch doctors to a remote runway in Nigeria, where all the passengers were cut up to supply the fetish spare parts market, and the plane itself cut to pieces and sold as recycled aluminium at Alaba International Market in Lagos, Nigeria.

Police are trying to trace Jeffrey Okafor over the murder of Carl Beatson Asiedu

The family of a children’s television actor murdered outside a London club have made an emotional appeal for information as the police offer a £10,000 reward.

Carl Beatson Asiedu, who appeared in CBBC’s MI High series, was stabbed to death in five years ago aged just 19.

Police believe they know the identity of his killer but have been unable to find him for five years after he allegedly fled to Nigeria.

Jeffrey Okafor left the UK on 17 August 2009, days after the murder, and was last captured on CCTV boarding a flight to the country at Heathrow Airport using his brother’s passport, the Metropolitan Police said.

Four men, including Okafor’s brother, have been convicted of charges relating to the murder but police are offering £10,000 to anyone who can help them trace the man they believed stabbed the teenager.

Mr Asiedu, the son of a pastor and a midwife, died in the street after being stabbed in the heart in the early hours of 1 August 2009.

Known as DJ Charmz, he had just performed a set at the Club Life nightclub in Vauxhall, south London, and was walking to a car with friends when he was attacked.

Carl Beatson Asiedu was stabbed to death in 2009

Police said another group approached and an argument broke out with one of Mr Asiedu’s friends, apparently over a “trivial” college dispute.

Mr Asiedu and his friend Peter Lama, who survived, were stabbed in the following attack, while their friends fled.

They returned to find Mr Asiedu collapsed in the road and tried to drive him to hospital but despite first aid from police and paramedics, he was pronounced dead in the car.

His father, John Asiedu, said he will never be free of the pain of his son’s death and suffers fresh grief every time he hears of a stabbing.

He said: “Part of me died with him and I have to carry on living with what is left of me. Carl's tragic death has changed my view of life, people, the justice system and the world.

“I would urge Jeffrey Okafor to do the right thing and give himself up. I believe there are people in Nigeria who know him but don't know who he really is.

“I believe he is living comfortably with a new life. Sometimes I wonder how such killers can lead normal lives with their families and friends who sometimes protect and shield them from the law.

"I am still serving the life sentence of sorrow and pain embedded in my consciousness.”

Detective Inspector Alison Hepworth, from the Met’s murder division, said Okafor could be living a “comfortable life” in Nigeria while his family’s heartache continues.

“We know there are people in UK supporting him in his new life in Nigeria and are shielding him from facing justice,” she added.

“I would appeal to those people - his friends or family - if you have in some way helped to aid his escape, now is your opportunity to do the right thing and tell us where he is.”

Junior Okafor – the suspect’s brother – was sentenced to four years imprisonment in 2010 for assisting his brother’s escape to Nigeria.

Members of the group involved in the confrontation with Mr Asiedu’s friends, Bolaji Kako-Are and Abu Mansaray, were convicted of violent disorder in 2011 and each sentenced to three years in prison.

Another of Okafor’s associate’s, Junior Ademujimi-Falade, was found guilty of violent disorder and manslaughter and jailed for eight years in 2011.

Scotland Yard has been working with Nigerian authorities in their efforts to trace Okafor.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 0208 721 4005, calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or by emailing jeffreyokaforwanted@met.police.uk.

The family of a talented DJ murdered five years ago have made an emotional appeal in a bid to trace his killer.

Carl Beatson Asiedu, died in the street after being stabbed in the heart in the early hours of August 1, 2009, after he performed a set at the Club Life nightclub in Vauxhall.

Detectives are keen to trace Jeffrey Okafor who they believe is responsible for killing 19-year-old Mr Asiedu, the Metropolitan Police said.

It is believed Okafor fled to Nigeria after his death and police are offering a reward of £10,000 for information leading to his arrest.

Detectives are also launching a Facebook appeal in the hope that someone is able to provide information on Okafor’s whereabouts, police said.

He was a known Facebook user before the murder and officers believe that he is still using this or other social media as a means of communicating with friends and family back in the UK.

Police believe Okafor is hiding in Nigeria having fled the UK on August 17, 2009.

He was last captured on CCTV boarding an Air France flight at Heathrow Airport using his brother’s passport, police said.

Mr Asiedu, who performed under the name of DJ Charmz, was well known on the clubbing scene.

The victim’s father John Asiedu has spoken of his heartache.

“Five years have passed since Carl was murdered,” he said.

“I still feel the pain and get a lump in my throat whenever his tragic death crosses my mind, or when I hear that someone has been stabbed to death.

“Part of me died with him and I have to carry on living with what is left of me. Carl’s tragic death has changed my view of life, people, the justice system and the world.”

Detective Inspector Alison Hepworth of the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC) said: “Over the years, a number of people have stood trial and have been convicted for their involvement in Carl’s death but there has always been one outstanding individual whom we sought to trace whom we believe delivered the fatal stab wound. That person is Jeffrey Okafor.”

She added: “We know there are people in the UK supporting him in his new life in Nigeria and are shielding him from facing justice.

“I would appeal to those people – his friends or family – if you have in some way helped to aid his escape, now is your opportunity to do the right thing and tell us where he is.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the incident room on 0208 721 4005. A dedicated email address – jeffreyokaforwanted@met.police.uk - has been set up for those with information to provide details via email.

Ishilove: I do...

Naptu2: The model of the vehicle involved in mishap that claimed El Rufai's son was a 2014 camry, factory made in Italy, and the registration number was fct 315 KV. It was imported by Ijogbnonnimi and Sons ltd. There are indications that the rim was pure alloy, but it is still under investigation, however, investigators have discovered that the tar on the road was solidly set so the fault couldn't have been from the tarred roads. Here is the link: www.wikipedia.com/tarredroadsinabuja.

theplanmaker: as backwards as Nigeria is, we r still miles ahead of some pepo. if the disease resurfaces in Nigeria I'm very sure its spread ll b effectively curtailed

Brimmie: There was a topic about it sometimes ago.. And I was lucky to have some of the pictures which I posted with my Main Account. Search for it.. Or look through naptu2's handle.

Obiagelli: good news,


Why can't one of these telecoms companies sponsor a telent hunt for athletes instead of all these Nigerian idol or project fame? We like to copy useless things in this country.
Do a talent hunt, discover young prospects, send them abroad to become world beaters and have the advertise your fast Internet connection when they are made. Simple logic.

I hope someone make this proposal to one of those companies, imagine Usain bolt as their brand ambassador for speed, its a win win situation.
