I have good news today!! My mom has been released so thank God with me. Just like I narrated the last time about all I knew about the case, I want to let u all know the latest development and full details of what happened. I told you the last time that I only said the least I know and one of you advised me to leave Lagos and go down and see her and also know if there is more to the case.

I travelled home on Wednesday (3 days back) after getting permission from my workplace.

My mom was released on that Wednesday around 6pm one full week from the Wednesday she was arrested. In fact 20 minutes after my younger brother brought her in, I entered the compound. I'm really happy and sad too because of her condition of health, of course you guys will understand me. She looked very horrible, lean, frightened, vulnerable and weak. Dark circles all over her eyes, suddenly she looked older than a 47 years old woman. Well, it's well. I lack words to tell you all about her situation because it brings dark clouds to my heart.

First signs she was exhibiting was over consciousness of her environment, at any door sound or loud voice, she seem to jump out of her skin and terror fills her eyes and she will start shaking, we managed to make her feel at home but it wasn't working, she wasn't able to eat yet. The truth is that my mom has this childish part of her life that still amazes us till now. We, her six children 3 boys and 3 girls all out of university believe that it was her early marriage at 15 that made her that way. She cries if you don't call her on phone for one week and pouts a lot. She is also a very strong mother, I don't know how to make you understand that my parents can never defraud anyone with the kind of hearts they have.

She ate only twice there so she lost all will to eat and till today, she still drinks only malt and water. But she is been taken care of by the family doctor, she will be fine. I have two phases of details to tell you people, 1: how she was released and 2: the full details of the case. Tnx for your patience on this.

THE FULL DETAILS:
I called my dad to narrate exactly what's up because I really don't know everything in details and this is how it happened; for those that knows main market Onitsha, you will understand this, my dad among other traders was among the people that bought over shop allocations then in one of the locations where shops building projects was going on then, a certain politician then, a woman though can't remember her name was involved in the project. They were building those shops and by then everywhere had been bought over even before the completion and all of them has their ownership and validity documents at the LGA. My dad said that the project later entered into political whatever and they halted the project, meanwhile , that was the documents that was used for the collateral. He banks with Union Bank over the years and funny enough, they have issued loans on 3 different occasions to him without collateral based on trust and it was later paid back. So on this issue, the bank contacted these property evaluation office to go and evaluate the property then. This may sound odd and unbelievable but that's the truth. The woman contacted by name "Naomi " (not real name just to call her that )went to our head office in Bright Street where my mom stays and met her on that fateful day and narrated why she came, my mom welcomed and gave a seat. She had to wait for my dad to come so they can both go the property for her job.

My mom said that after some time while they were just talking about business and stuff, she got up to go complaining that she is too busy and the weather was hot, mom urged her to wait but she left and few minutes later she came back and told mom that there is nothing really much on why she came that its just a procedure, that she will just take a picture of our shop and complete her work that its nothing though since they will repay the loan, she brought out her work camera and took snapshots of our shop and then left and that was the last time she came. Forwarded to this year now that the bank came, mom showed me photocopy of the letter she wrote to the bank concerning how she can be able to pay up that money and even the time frame was included, so they can grant her request. She is yet to receive a feedback from the bank before this thing happened.

They asked for collateral this time because of the setback on my parent's business, if you know No. 7 Bright street main market, u will know what happened there few years ago.
I found out as i got home that It was not even the Bank Manager that arrested my mom though I don't know if he has a hand in it from the background.

The bank went to the LGA for confirmation and then went to the property but found it not active and non existing, they summoned Naomi based on her evaluation evidence not been what they see now, she later called my dad to impose accusation on him that the day she came that he shouted her down and asked her to leave and that was the last thing I know my dad will do, my dad became very surprised and asked her if she can recognize him on sight, that was she not the one mom said that took pictures of our shop the day she came, she cut the phone. I heard she told the bank manager to give her few days to sort out the mix up that she wants to go to the LGA to clarify something, I don't know what happened but I think the bank found out what she did and then started having issues with her.

That was how SARS came and took my mom, it was at their office that we found out that her report says that my parents are frauds and she denied been the person that came for the evaluation on that day, she said it was the youth corper that served in her office then that came for it.

But the thing is that my mom heard of her name and knew that it was the same person that came to the shop that day. Well my friends, she was the one that called SARS for my parents, she instructed them to focus on my dad and that the family will hurriedly run around and pay the money. Even the day they came to the house, mom refused to allow them enter the house without a search warrant but they pushed her violently to the ground and one of them twisted her fingers. So concerning the shop I narrated on the other thread, it was an alternative shop of my parents but the bank refused it that it won't fetch that amount.

The actual amount loaned is 2.5 million and the interest is 6 million not 7 , my mistake. That's all. Another thing is that despite the fact that they have mom, they kept looking for my dad everywhere asking us to provide him. They were really hell bent on catching him courtesy the woman's request. She actually used SARS so that they will manipulate the situation so my dad can pay up the money and I don't see how it's her business for the money to be paid. Ok enough here.

HER BAIL:
I don't really understand the type of lawyer they had been using on this case, seems lawyers differ, his own was to file case to Federal court before mom comes out, very sluggish man though young and with family. Wednesday and she was still there, all the people my dad contacted were told by SARS boss that its fraud and they kept stretching the case. So my youngest sister contacted her friend in Abuja to talk to her dad, she mounted pressure on them that Wednesday, later a call came from State CID Awka to SARS that a person with a so so case at their custody should be brought to Awka with the case file that morning. They put my mom in the back of her Hilux and took her to Awka, they met the man and my mom told him everything as it happened, the man was shocked on hearing that she even stayed up to 48 hours in SARS custody not to talk of one full week hmm! He then asked for the complainant to report to Awka, they called her and she said she was at Asaba that she was coming, 3 hours later, she didn't arrive, they called and she said she was almost at Awka. 3.45pm she has not been seen and the man said he won't conclude on any decision until the woman comes, she stopped answering her calls and switched off her phone. Unknown to them, she went straight to SARS office to see her people, they put a call to Awka for my mom to be brought back! Meanwhile, the man in charge has gone out, I don't know what they call that his rank again, weda CPO abi IP whatever.

My mom noticed what was about happening and started begging an officer for his phone to make call, he dialed my sister's number, she already knew the source where the call came from through them. She told her what happened at Awka that they want to take her back to SARS, hmm!! My sis started her lamentation calls again and as God may have it, the man called and told them to wait for him, on arrival, he got to know that the woman never reported and went to SARS office, the man then made called to SARS department and gave some instructions and sent someone with them.

He told mom that she should not panic that whether the complainant surfaces or not, that he will send her home but she still has to make another statement, all these were done and they took mom back to SARS and bailed her with 50k, the woman has long left the office before they got there and nobody has heard from her since then till now. The lawyer asked for 300k to file the case, he was not even aware that my mom has come out, my brother called him that day and he said that all these TO and FRO movement is not yielding anything until he files the case, he was given half of the money so we can gather the rest. But that's for only filing the case fee, I don't understand him and he has not even come to the house to see mom and find out how she got bailed. They said she should report to SARS on Monday for their routine check.

My mom was actually in their cell 2 where other 27 women were, no space on the floor to lie down, she is actually suffering from the daily habit of them shooting young guys dead anyhow after which by midnight, they gather the bodies and go and dispose them, no one can avoid seeing those bodies and even hears shots when they were been killed, it's a small place so everything happens around them there. I even heard they sometimes uses this nylon bags to cover their heads before strangling them with iron chords, she is really more traumatized and frightened by what she had been seeing there than her condition.

She said the place is just like another world. Jungle justice. But all the same, thank God for my mom, she said that her greatest gift of all from God in this case is that her husband was never caught because if he was ever taken there hmm!! Who knows what the turn out of events would have been by now. So that it, I have told them to get another lawyer for this issue.

It's ok if you find these details lies or with some hidden informations, but thats everything there is to it. I understand most of you that called my dad names believing he is not man enough to face it, I agree but let my parents be complete and alive for us. Thanks everyone.

My heart froze...I remained calm and said that it was not true. He said when I get to the station I will know if he was lying or not. They cuffed me and I just kept quiet cause arguing would escalate things.

They were a bit tipsy and I remembered Solomon who was shot by policemen while arguing with policeman while taking a stroll at Railway compound . unknown to him robbers had visited the place the previous night. Na so the guy take die Sara death.

We got to the station and all other guys were stripped naked except me and I just told them that we can resolve this matter as I am willing to cooperate.

At the end of the day i persuaded them to let me go...but I can't forget the experience, so many young men are sent to early graves... My noble appearance, gentle demeanor , softly spoken words and willingness to cooperate saved me that day.

From the op analysis,i dont think the bank had anytyn 2 do with all the drama. The naomi geh to me should be a valuer who carried a valuation job on the property. When the loan went bad and collateral which was d last resort to fall back on was not in place, the bank had to go and drag naomi to show what she valuated on her report then. Naomi wanted to do everytyn to clear her own name too.

*****another angle is if naomi was not a debt collector appointed by the bank to recover the money for them ***********

My suggestion is dis, in order not to be spending unnunnecessary money, the bank is still the solution to this issue cos no matter how,the bank still want their money back. Forget the fact that the initial loan amount was 2.2m and has risen to 6m, its very possible my brother. Even a 100k loan can rise to 100m if not service cos banks will still be calculating their interest over the time the loan was not serviced.
You and mumsy should have a meeting with the bank manager,explain situation of things and make a formal request for concession on the loan and modalities for repayment. The bank will listen cos the utmost is that they want their money back and dont be surprise,the interest element might be waved depending on how the bank manager can relate your case to the bank management.
Since you are still around,try and visit the bank,have a meeting with the manager and reach a compromise on the repayment modalities. (Be exact and firm on what you can pay back but be rest assured that the principal will be collected even though accrued interest might be waved).
Even banks dont like going to policd or court for retrieval of small debt like dis cos its a cost on it on.
I pray you find a long lasting solution

Lol. Omo I forget o. u get point.

Thank God for your mum

But this statement
she is actually suffering from the daily habit of them shooting young guys dead anyhow after which by midnight, they gather the bodies and go and dispose them,

I have known about it a long time ago. Even in police stations. According to this officers, they said the prisons are filled up and many of those criminals have no relatives hence the extra judicial killings. They are of the opinion that killing them will reduce crime to a certain level. That there is no rehabilitation center and many of them don't have homes nor a job they are doing. Hence all those agberos run from police a lot cus nobody will come and bail them if they commit crime. A lot of silent killings are happening.

Hope there are measures to prevent a return to detention? That devious Naomi woman might not be done. She will get her comeuppance.[/quote]. Cheessooss :osee yuzedo,dat kain person still dey nairaland.@ poster thank God for ur family

ThankGod. . So happy your mum is out.. Wondering how a mother of 6 would have fared inside the prison, it's well...


Hope measures are being put in place to pay the bank to avoid reoccurrence? ?

typing..

Happy for You and your family. However, I will advise u to get another lawyer who is not 'Hungry'. The lawyer in question just wanted to feast on your family's predicament....

So happy 4 ur mom..nigeria is 1 hell of a country. We need a savior 2 save us
