Justice Habeeb Abiru of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja has thrown Ifeanyi Eze, aka Chedi Ojukwu behind bars for 18 years imprisonment, two years for each of nine charges of obtaining money by false pretences and forgery, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), reported today.  

Thirty-nine year old Eze, who pleaded guilty, is also to refund $35,000 to one Yildirim Babadogan, a Turkish citizen.

Babadogan petitioned the EFCC in 2010 after Eze, operating under the false identity of “Chedi Ojukwu,” swindled him of over $250,000, with the connivance of three others, under the pretence that they were selling used rail parts.

According to the EFCC, Eze and his gang had advertised on the Internet that they had used rail scrap for sale to interested buyers.  Babadogan, 62, said he was subsequently convinced to come to Nigeria for negotiation and to see the goods.  He and three of his countrymen later came to Nigeria to seal the deal, where they signed various documents including those supposedly bearing the logos of the Central Bank of Nigeria and other relevant government agencies.  He claimed that on returning to his base in Turkey, he was made to transfer the sum of $80,000, which Eze and his gang claimed was to be used to finalize the deal.

Babadogan further claimed that over $45,000 was later transferred to Eze and his co-conspirators on the pretence that the money was needed to process necessary papers and the shipment of the goods.

Subsequently, Eze and his cohorts prevailed on Babadogan and his partners to return to Nigeria for further negotiations.

On their return to Nigeria, Babadogan said, Eze and his syndicate started demanding for more money, including an additional $50,000 dollars for the Central Bank of Nigeria, as well as Customs shipping charges. To convince their victim, Eze and his gang forwarded a letter purportedly written by the Central Bank of Nigeria and signed by a former CBN governor that $50,000 was the outstanding shipping charge.  

Babadogan said he became suspicious of the deal when Eze told him that 435 containers of scraps were already at the port. He said when he requested to be taken to see the containers, Eze claimed that because of their failure to pay the CBN/Customs charges they would not be allowed to inspect the containers but that they can only see them from a distance.  

It was at this juncture that he reported the matter to a Nigerian friend who told him that he had fallen victim of fraudsters. He later contacted the EFCC and Eze was arrested.

In addition to Eze, another suspect, Tijani Ladan, aka Suleiman, had earlier pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced accordingly.  A third suspect, Chief Uche Dimgba, aka Salami Kambo, is still at large.

Eze’s sentence will run concurrently, meaning he will be free in two years’ time.

The police officer investigating the murder of Abiodun Ademola, the 26-year-old youth, allegedly shot by the Divisional Police Officer of Pen Cinema during the fuel subsidy removal protests in Lagos, has said about 200 youths hurled stones and bottles at the police team on the day of the incident.


The IPO, Olumide Alagbe, an inspector, said this in his evidence on Wednesday during the coroner’s inquest before Magistrate Tajudeen Elias of an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, Lagos.

Alagbe of the State Criminal Investigation Department claimed that the police went to Yaya Abatan area of Ogba following a distress call that a crowd was blocking the road in the area and attacking innocent people.

The policeman, who was being led in evidence by a representative of the Nigeria Bar Association, Mr. Yinka Farounbi, said the DPO, Mr. Segun Fabunmi, and other eight policemen went to the scene with the intention of preventing the youth from attacking people.

Farounbi asked the IPO, “Were any stones or bottles recovered at the scene? Was any member of Fabunmi’s team hospitalised as a result of the attack?”

Alagbe said neither bottles nor stones were recovered at the scene, adding that he did not know if any of the policemen was injured as none of them was hospitalised.


“But you said in your evidence that the team was attacked by about 200 youths with stones and bottles. None of the policemen was hospitalised?” he asked again.

The IPO said the police patrol vehicle brought to the scene was damaged as a result of the attack but had been repaired. But when asked if he took a photograph of the damaged vehicle, he said he did not.

A lawyer from Access to Justice, Mrs. C. R. Chinbueze, also led the IPO in evidence, asking him if it was possible for a bullet from an AK 47 rifle that was not cocked to go off on its own.

Alagbe answered that it was not possible for the gun to go off unexpectedly if it was not cocked.


“I put it to you that the DPO (Fabunmi) went to the scene prepared to shoot,” the AJ’s lawyer said.

The police lawyer, Cyril Ejiofor, promptly objected the line of questioning.

Chinbueze asked Alage to read a section of his written evidence, which stated, “…there were some group of people blocking the road on Yaya Abatan and a team left the office for the scene. On sighting the police vehicle, they started throwing stones and bottles.”

The lawyer then asked the IPO why he stated that the youth of Yaya Abatan were attacking innocent people when his evidence-in-chief stated that the people were only blocking the road.

 “When they got there and were being attacked by about 200 people, why did the team not think about calling for reinforcement? I put it to you that you are not a credible witness in this case,” Chinbueze said.

The IPO also said the case file had been transferred to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions but added that the investigation had not being completed.

He also said live ammunition were recovered from the scene and had been sent for forensic investigation.

“The investigation will be completed anytime from now but Fabunmi is still being detained,” he said.

Ademola was shot at Yaya Abatan area of Ogba by Fabunmi on January 9 during the anti-fuel subsidy removal protests in Lagos and some other parts of the country.

Eyewitnesses had told PUNCH Metro at the time that the DPO shot into the air and later shot at Ademola, who bled to death metres away from scene.

A suit has been filed at the high court seeking the payment of N200m to the family of the deceased and N100m to the other survivors.

Johnny walked into class with a black eye.
Teacher: what's wrong?
Johnny: my house is very small. Me, my mum and my dad sleep on the same bed. Every night, my dad asks, "johnny are u sleeping?" Then i say No and he slaps my face and gives me a black eye.
Teacher: tonight when ur dad asks again, keep dead quiet and don't answer.
The following morning, Johnny comes back with severe black eyes again.
Teacher: My goodness! Why the black eye again?
Johnny: dad asked me again, Johnny are u sleeping? & i shut up and kept dead still. Then my dad and my mum started moving, u know, at the same time mum was breathing erratically, kicking her legs up frantically and squealing like a hyena on the bed. Then my dad asked my mum, "are u coming?" Mum said, "yes, i'm coming, r u coming too?"
Dad answered, "yes."
They don't usually go anywhere without me so i said, "wait for me, I'm also coming!
