Crime is greatly influenced by poverty and frustration. You cant not understand this except you have come close.

Have you ever been so starved to the point that the only thing your mind thinks is to steal. Dude, I came close to that at age less than 10 but for the fact that we once had enough to eat and was well raised, I perished the thought.

You also missed the point I was making. Who would have thought a place like Ikoyi will experienced these kind of horror or is the reason why these people live there not for security?

What I even said was once predicted by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.. A time will come the elite will have no place to run. Whether you u accept this as true or not, it does not negate the fact that the signs are gathering storms.

I'm assuming all the home invasion murders that we see on TV in the States is because of hunger?

Let us face it, many people are criminally minded even in societies wherein opportunities abound.

Some give these silly excuses of unemployment or poor payment for their reasons for engaging in crime of all sorts. Yet, the Maersk man for instance, may have come from poverty himself, working his socks off burning the midnight oil just to escape it.

I know many Nigerians who do well in the US and UK but I also know quite a few engaged in fraud.

Perhaps it is a lack of opportunity that pushed them to it too.

where's their pishure

We all need to act right with people because not everyone can take shit, some persons are ready to end their life to end ur life, imagine the lady now living her kids without a Mother. Don't look at criminals face, give them what they want, life have no part 2. U can buy materials back. [color=#006600][/color]

No matter the indignation or grievance, thou shall not kill.

You heard the side of the 'black pig'. Did you hear the side of the deceased before assuming she wasn't nice to him?

And the 4months salary

davillian:
The black pig killed her....

This kind of murders have happened regularly in Ikoyi since at least the 1950s.

What you posted has nothing to do with the topic or my post.

You heard it first doesn’t mean you heard the correct info. We are reading the criminals’ own confessions. so, you get more information than that? abi you were there when they planned it?

Unless you’re trying to tell us that this woman and when husband are responsible for paying the estate workers, then all these combination of stories don’t relate to my post since I didn’t in any way advise anyone to treat their maids or helps badly. I wonder what to the on about.

fairfora:
For your information, I'm more informed on this case than you think. I heard of it in less than 24 hours after it happened. You're just getting to know about it obviously . It's stale news already. No excuse for murder and yes, but in case you have a maid, even if its 10k you agreed , his/her own life could depend on that. Pay as promised to avoid impending dangers to you and your family. Its same crime-related story we hear everyday. I've heard of a maid who put her mistress' baby inside a freezer and ran away. She later sent a message that, the woman was owing her salary but refused to pay. Another incident happened at Daniel estate in yaba where the maid broke into the house and made away with expensive jewelry and sold it for millions of naira. When caught she said her madam was wicked because she refused to pay her 3 months arrears which the woman agreed to, the woman said it was because she was rude to her and she wanted to use that as a means of punishing her....how rude could she have been? Her salary was 30k.

Again, about 2 months ago inside one Isheri estate in Lagos, one stupid woman locked a maid up in an abandoned house and left for church. This maid had not eaten for over 24 hours and was crying for help in the house. Thanks to the neighbour who came feeding the maid and broke the door open. Channels tv was Ivited to cover the scene because the house was also close to their station. The idiot of a woman never knew the phone was on speaker when she was contacted. She said and so? Channels have always been covering such news as its not new to her. The woman is in soup as we speak. Had the maid had the opportunity or access a knife or gun, the needful would have been said and somebody like you could have been done and someone like you could have been blaming the maid....give to to people what belongs to them as promised and you could save yourself and family of any danger. Same applies to business contracts or agreements. It's that simple. Some people are ruthless, they don't value their own lives let alone the life of others. We can always avoid needless trouble

This is a totally different story from the first story.

This is a totally different story from the first story.

Really?
What's the first story about?

cocolacec:


How will the woman(likely a housewife) owe him 4 months salary if he is an estate worker.?One family doesnot live in an estate.His salary should come from all occupants of the estate not one family.

The killer could have called her white trash or white pig too.

Who is loosing now? the killers and the white woman.


Did it not say on here that the Woman personally owed him 4 months salaries?

Hedonisco:
This account provides greater clarity on the events of that fateful evening.

But aspects of the narrative provided by the assailants are clearly bogus. For instance, I'm not sure it is the couple's responsibility to pay the fool's salary as the estate electrician. That is the responsibility of the facility management department of the estate. The estate employed you, not the couple, so they have no business with you..

What I can deduce is that the idiot must have been begging them for money with a sense of entitlement, as many disgusting Nigerians do. If they see a fairly well to do person, you expect such a person automatically owes you 'help' or freebies. Why?

The sense of entitlement of many poor Nigerians is mind boggling.

I hope these idiots rot in hell.

You couldn’t have said it any better

Fresh revelation on murder of wife of Maersk MD:
•We killed her because she recognised me———Main suspect
•Says he was angry because she once called him black pig
•It took us 3 months to plan how to enter their flat——Accomplice

Fresh facts on how the Hungarian wife of Gildas Tohouo, Managing Director of Maersk Nigeria Limited, Bernadette, was murdered by two men who invaded their Ikoyi, Lagos abode, last Sunday, have emerged.

This followed revelation by the main suspect, Olamide Goke and his accomplice, Adeyinka Akanbi, yesterday. Crime Guard gathered that Goke, who resides in Bariga, was only employed as an electrician five months ago, with a monthly salary of N40,000.

Late Bernadette, a mother of three, who had just returned from a foreign trip, was relaxing in her apartment that fateful night, when she heard a knock on the door. Her decision to open the door upon recognising the voice of Goke, the electrician, turned out to be her greatest undoing.

Crime Guard gathered that immediately she locked the door after Goke and his accomplice entered the apartment which was on the top floor of a four blocks of flat, they demanded for the switch box, after informing her that the cause of the black out in the building was from their flat.

While the unsuspecting mother of three was leading them to the location of the switch box, they informed her of their intention.

Why we killed her

Explaining what transpired between them, Goke, 34, said, “We didn’t intend to kill her. I just wanted us to collect some foreign currency from her because she just returned from oversee four days back. When we got inside, I asked her to give us money but she said she had no money with her. Immediately she recognised me, my partner said it would be dangerous for us to leave her alive. At that point, we went to get the sniper used in the garden and asked her to drink it. She asked why we were doing that and I reminded her that it was because she once called me a black pig.

On the day she addressed me as a black pig, I had gone to demand for my salary. They were owing me N160,000 as payment for four months salary. The agreement was to pay me N40,000 monthly and it accumulated for four months. Instead of giving me, she said, “get out of my house, black pig”.

Back to the operation in the flat, Goke said, “As we tried to force the sniper down her throat, she was vomiting it out, Akanbi used a pillow to suffocate her. Yet, she was still struggling with us. It was at that point that we stabbed her in different parts of the body”.

While the struggle was ongoing, her husband, who was in his room reportedly came out to ascertain what the matter was.

But he got more than what he bargained for as the intruders attacked him.

Goke, said, “We did not know that her husband was in. We thought he travelled because he was never at home. When we saw him, we attacked him with the knife used on his wife. But he ran back inside his bedroom. At that point, I rushed into their kitchen to get another knife to stab oga. If they had given me money, we would have left quietly. The couple are stingy. Anytime I approached them to give me money, they would refuse”,he said.

His partner in crime, Ajani, who resides in Mushin area of Lagos, said he was invited by Goke, to collect the money owed him.

He however said, “The plan was never to kill her. It took us three weeks to plan how to enter the flat. We collected her ATM, after we discovered she was dead. We also thought that her husband was dead too. Our intention was to make withdrawals with he ATM”.

Arrest

Crime Guard gathered that immediately Tohouo ran into his bedroom, he sent a distress text message to the estate’s whatapp platform and his company where several emergency calls were made to the Police. Before the arrival of the Police, the estate ‘s alarm was set in motion, thereby making it impossible for the intruders to leave the apartment.

Explaining how they were arrested Police sources said, “CP Hakeem Odumosu, who was on his routine night patrol, received the distress call and he swiftly moved to the scene, where he mobilized the DPO and the Area Commander in the area .

“It was dark and everybody wanted to go home but the CP insisted that we must get something that would help in not just the investigation but also to quickly arrest the perpetrators.

“It was an affective and timely operation. Those boys would have escaped if the CP had not gone there himself. Even when everybody concluded it was late and waned to go home, the CP went to his vehicle and brought out a torch which he beamed in different directions. By the time he pointed it up to the tree, one of the suspects was found to be hiding there.

The second suspect was found hiding in the power generating house. The knife they used for the operation was found with them while other weapons which they intended to use were found in a vacant flat in the estate”.

The corpse of the Hungarian mother of three was evacuated to the morgue while her widower was rushed to the hospital where he was treated. While the attack was going on, their children were sleeping peacefully in their room.

The suspects who are at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba, Lagos, are expected to be paraded next next.

They just waste the white woman just like that !

This world is really wicked.

You asked that I read to understand...and I explained in details what needed to be done to avoid loss of life, needlessly. The husband, a cameroonian is still in ICU as I speak but in a stable condition. I won't tell you more than that. The electrician wasn't attached to any company, not even to Maersk or to the estate where the incident happened. The onus is on the police to do justice in this case as killing a fellow human being isn't justifiable under the law.

Tunagee:


She denied her worker his salary for four months, even as her husband is a MD of top multinational firm; and in addition, she still called him 'black pig' in his own country.
wow! what else was she expecting, a red carpet? Nonsense!!! if as an expatriate, u are gonna discriminate against someone cos of their skin, then do so in your country, not in the country of the person you despise; also your worker deserves to be paid once service has been rendered. Racial discrimination in my home country is totally unacceptable!!! She deserves what she got.

I believe you must be criminally minded before you think what they have done is justifiable. Even if she called them black pig which we are not even sure is true is the reward for that to murder her, stab her husband and render her 3 kids motherless. Is he the first to be called racial insults or owed wages (even if those statements are true). Why resort to armed robbery and murder? Those men are indeed very wicked and planned to rob this woman and when the robbery didn't go as planned because probably the woman doesn't keep her money at home, they decided to kill her. They made her drink sniper and since she did not die quick enough, they stabbed her multiple times and used a pillow to strangle her. And this were pple she freely let into her home ooooo. They wanted dollars right? Dollars they didnt work for. Who even keeps foreign currency at home nowadays. That is why when some Nigerians comeback from abroad nowadays, they don't let anyone know lest our country people will rob and maim them at home. Those men deserve to die. They are indeed black pigs. A long and painful death will be best.

Bro, crime is multifaceted.

U know criminals would say anything to justify their crimes ! He obviously was seeking sympathy - it’s silly that someone who married a black person and has black kids would be calling someone a black pig !

Zooposki:
Married to a black man and calling another being from the same race a black pig.

Quorax:


Bro, crime is multifaceted.

But never justifiable.

These murderers are yet to explain how a resident of an estate employs them as electricians on a monthly contract.

The low blow of a racist comment is for me the last straw.

They are unrepentant criminals who thought they could intimidate a white woman who happened to have returned from a trip, into giving them forex.

They were surprised by the man of the house after they had accomplished their task of killing his wife so as to evade identification.

All the other stories are simply to embellish their motivation, which in truth, is nothing but greed and sheer criminality.

fairfora:
Sad. My candid advice...all those artisans working for us must be treated with respect because they too are human beings. We should endeavour to pay them promptly as agreed because their whole life might depend on their wages . The devil could easily use them, should we renege on our promises to them. Most of them do not value life.

.


Guy just be vey careful. I had one guy that we has an agreement for 8k a month to do some work for me. This guy arranged and the work was done for 1year. He said he wont take the money till one year. So monthly I kept his money aside.

One day he calls me up after like 15 months that his father bla bla bla and I said no meet me up tomorrow at work. I gave him all his dough the very next day.

1 week later he asks for a loan of 300k and was upset when refused him.

Born2Breed:
No where is safe again. Living in high brow estates always gives one a sense of security but not anymore.

If not for the emergency services in the estate they would have escaped. Criminals always think they are the only one that have money problem. Everybody have it from time to time

Pataricatering:

Why? Even people married from different tribes still maintain their biases and use it as insult not to talk of race. The marriage is obviously young and the man is wealthy. People marry for several reasons. She could be a racist married for comfort.

Zooposki:
Married to a black man and still calling another being from the same race a black pig.

If u believe it, then u can believe anything. ...drowning men looking for any and every means to escape!

Reference:


You still donot understand and probably never will. You need to study sociology. The summary is simple.

When you live in the midst of poverty you must do everything to subsidise the actions or inactions of those in charge for your personal welfare security. Even if you are not directly responsible for them just be nice. In the midst of poverty give to those around you, it may save your life.

Well, she doesn't live in the midst of poverty.

Advancedman:


And you are blind to the racist and inhumane comment.

Do you have hard evidence for that?
Why should you believe the word of a criminal?
Even if it was true, is the punishment for racist insult death?

Go to many threads on Nairaland and see the crass display of worse tribalism.
Do you think all the tribalists should be forced to drink sniper?

Do you think you would still be alive if everyone judged you using the same rule
as the dead woman?

Tunagee:


Not when u are called a 'black pig'. The scenario here is pure racial discrimination, in his own country.

I've been called names that are at the same level.....

The point is, no matter how bad a name might sound...like 'black pig' for example....it isn't worth going to jail for life over it.

Speaking as someone who has a very bad temper...one thing I have learned in life is that when someone calls you names, racist or otherwise, if you react with violence, it would be you that takes the blame. No one would want to hear whether you were justified or not...all they would focus on was that you were violent, and you deserved to be punished for your violence (And to be frank, if you don;'t learn that lesson by childhood...palaver dey).

That's life. Sometimes you just suck it up, and move on. Like I said...Nigerian prison is not worth it. Even if it was like American prision, the fact that other men are controlling your movements does not appeal to me.


MODIFIED

I Also think the perpetrator threw in that line about 'black pig' to gain some sympathy. When people do or want to do bad things...they try to make it like they are doing it for honorable reasons. It's very possible the deceased did not call him a black pig. Or she did (and either way, it is wrong to be racist. It is also wrong to resort to violence...except in self defence.).

Starboytwo:
Why kill her, why not just take some money and leave..

If no money, beat them, spoil some gadget or whatever and leave, to plan another heist...

Na wa for you oh , is this your line of work ni

Wickedness indeed. Nothing justifies taking a human life in this way. Poverty, insult, salaries owed.... Rubbish. Get another job and walk away from that negative situation. They had a choice. They chose to spend the next few years of their lives (or the rest of it) in jail. We all have a choice.

My angle of perception was only harping on one of the causes of crimes from what I could deduce and yours is another angle.


Has the husband been able to confirm that he knows one of them as their story revealed that he deceased knew him? It will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

How did they know she had just returned from foreign trip?

But since they were shocked to see the husband, it means they know the routines of their house or its a case of someone feeding them info.

If their reason for killing the woman was fabricated, it might also be that whoever tipped them may have signed a contract not to be revealed, else their own family will be killed as well...

Its dicey

Thank God the kids were safe.

Lie lie....why would call you a black pig when she is married to one

einsteine:


How do you know he is telling the truth?

Simply because he knows no matter what he says he won't be pardoned.
If he wanted to seek ways of getting a pardon or lenient prosecution of his crime,he would have invented a more emotionally appealing story like his mum is dying with no money to treat her,the sister is also ill or in need of money for fees,his girlfriend forced him to give her money or he loses her,or that the couple once fed their dogs or cat food while they refused him when he was starving and hadn't eaten for days,etc;stories that appeal to the conscience of the ordinary fellow in the streets.
Why lie over an amount he knows he won't get nor would it get him any soft landing?
