The Commissioner of Police in
Lagos State, Edgal Imohimi, on
Thursday, disclosed how three
arrested Badoo suspects
hypnotised and smashed their
victims’ head while asleep.
Imohimi said this while
presenting the suspects to
newsmen in Lagos.
He gave their names as
Chibuzo Igwe; Samuel Akaeze
a.k.a Samito Gift Akaeze;
Omotayo Abamoyegun and
Fatai Adebayo, a herbalist who
fortified the cultists before
going on operations.
According to him, on Dec. 30,
2017 at about 2:30 a.m. the
peace of Lagos was disturbed
at Alajo Close, Ibese, a suburb
of Ikorodu, when three
suspects invaded one late
Shakiru Yekini’s compound
where he was killed alongside
his wife and his six-month-old
baby injured.
“Abamoyegun usually sprays
powder into the abode of
their victims which makes
them fall into deep sleep after
which other members of the
gang smash their head with
grinding stone.
“Having certified that they are
dead, the suspects use white
handkerchiefs to scrub their
victims’ blood for ritual
purposes.
“Luck, however, ran out of
them when one of the victims
raised alarm and the vigilante
men on duty alerted
policemen who quickly
cordoned off the area.
“Chibuzor Igwe was arrested
at the scene and he made
startling revelation which led
to the arrest of Abamoyegun
and Akaeze.
“Please note that a grinding
stone used to smash the
victims’ head, smeared with
blood was recovered at the
murder scene and taken to the
lab for forensic analysis to
back up our evidence in court.
“One Gift Akaeze, wife to one
of the suspects, Samuel, was
arrested for allegedly
supplying information to the
suspects on where to strike.
“Abamoyegun also usually
takes the suspects to one Fatai
Adebayo, a herbalist, who
specialises in fortifying the
suspects and blessing their
stone before an operation.
“The herbalist has been
arrested and his shrine in
Ijebu Imosan had been
destroyed in an operation
which I led,’’ he said.
The commissioner said that
the war against the suspected
killers would continue and
that the police would not
relent until all the killers were
brought to justice.
He furthered declared wanted
one Alaka Abayomi Kamal
following a warrant of arrest
issued by a magistrate court in
Lagos.
Presented alongside the
suspected killers were car
snatchers and drug peddlers
arrested at Sunday Market,
Ogba.

Following the outrage that
trailed President Muhammadu
Buhari’s recent appointment
of dead people into the
boards of Federal
Government’s agencies, the
President has ordered the
Secretary to the Government
of the Federation, Mr. Boss
Mustapha, to review the entire
list.
The review, it was learnt, is
meant to ascertain all
nominees that need
replacement on the list
released last Friday.
READ ALSO: Outrage over six
dead appointees on Buhari’s
board list
It was further learnt that apart
from those who were
identified as having died
before the announcement of
their appointments, at least
one person has also died
between when the list was
made public and now.
With the review, the
inauguration of the living
appointees by the relevant
ministers are expected to be
put on hold as they may not
get their appointment letters
until after the revised list must
have been approved.
In all, 209 chairmen and 1,258
board members were
announced.
The Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu,
confirmed the President’s
directive for a review of the
entire list to our
correspondent on the
telephone on Thursday.
Shehu said those saddled with
the responsibility had gone far
in their assignment and would
soon present their report to
the President.
He said apart from the dead
persons, those who have left
the ruling All Progressives
Congress but were included in
the list would also be
removed.
He said, “Yes, I can confirm to
you that the process to replace
the dead ones has started. We
have listened to the concerns
raised.
“The entire list is being
scrutinised all over again. They
have gone very far and they
will be reporting to the
President very soon.
“Even after the list was
published, one nominee died.
They need to take a second
look at the entire list.
“There were also complaints
about some persons who had
left the party but made the list.
We are looking at those ones
too with a view to replacing
them.”
Some of the dead persons on
the list released included the
late Senator Francis Okpozo,
who died in December 2016.
He was named the chairman
of the board of the Nigerian
Press Council.
Another was Donald Ugbaja,
the late Deputy Inspector-
General of Police who died in
November but was listed as
one of the board members of
the Consumer Protection
Council.

Also on the list was the late
founder of Fidei Polytechnic,
Rev. Christopher Utov, who
died in March but was listed as
a board member of the
Nigerian Institute of Social and
Economic Research.
Included on the list was the
late Alhaji Umar Dange, an APC
leader in Sokoto State, who
was appointed as a board
member of the Federal Medical
Centre, Ebute-Meta.
Similarly, Kabir Umar, a former
Emir of Katagum in Bauchi
State, who died on December
9, 2017 was on the board of
the Federal Medical Centre,
Azare, Bauchi.
Another appointee, Ahmed
Bunza, was said to have died
at the Usman Danfodio
University Teaching Hospital,
Sokoto, and was buried on
May 22, last year.
Shehu had on Saturday said
there was nothing
“scandalous or extraordinary”
in the inclusion of the names
of the dead persons in the list
which he said had been
prepared over two years ago.
He had said nobody could stop
some of those included on the
list from dying between when
the list was prepared and
when it was made public.
The presidential spokesman
had assured Nigerians that
dead nominees would be
replaced.
He explained, “This list is a
historical list. It dates back to
2015. The President asked all
the state chapters of the APC
to forward 50 names for
appointments to the SGF
through the national
headquarters of the party.
“The then SGF, Babachir Lawal,
presented the report in
October 2016, one year after
he was commissioned.
“The report was disputed by
some state governors who
said they were not carried
along or the list was not
representative enough.
“So, the President constituted
a new panel chaired by the
Vice-President. The panel has
some governors and some
leaders of the party as
members. They were asked to
go and review the list.
“The panel did its work and
turned in its report early in
2017. The President had his
health challenges during that
period.
“Now that he is back and
strong, he asked the SGF to go
and release the list. So, the
new SGF did what he was
asked to do. There is nothing
scandalous or extraordinary
about what has happened.
“If a list was compiled like
over two years ago, obviously
some people would have died.
Nobody can stop that from
happening.
“Whoever is dead will be
replaced. There is nothing
extraordinary about it.”
Mustapha had in a statement
indicated that the
appointments took immediate
effect.

One of the five Badoo cult
suspects paraded on Thursday
at the Lagos State Police
Command headquarters in
Ikeja, 18-year-old Chibuzor
Igwe, says he was tricked into
joining Badoo cult.
Igwe explained that he had
approached one of the alleged
leaders of the cult,
Obamoyegun Omotayo, for a
driving job, but was lured into
the gang.
READ ALSO: I will appear
before police, but not CP Edgal
–Suspected Badoo kingpin
Chibuzor said, “I am a Badoo
member. Around November, I
told Obamoyegun (Omotayo)
that I wanted to be his driver
because I saw him with new
cars. He told me that it would
take some time before he
would give me the job. During
that time, he called me….”
But what could have been a
full-blown revelation from the
teenager, who has injuries on
his hands, was aborted by the
state Commissioner of Police,
Edgal Imohimi, who stopped
the interview and ordered that
Chibuzor and the other
suspects be taken away.
Imohimi claimed that the
suspects’ confession would
jeopardise police
investigations and efforts to
arrest other members of the
gang.
Earlier, while briefing
journalists on the arrests, the
CP identified other Badoo
suspects as Chibuzor’s elder
brother, Uche Igwe; a welder,
Samuel Akaeze, aka Samito; his
wife, Gift Akaeze; and a
herbalist, Fatai Adebayo, aka
Adaripon.
According to Imohimi, Gift
provides information on the
targets whom the assailants
consequently attack.
He said Chibuzor was
apprehended while he wanted
to escape from Alabo Street,
Abule Osorun, Ibeshe, Ikorodu,
where the gang smashed the
heads of a couple and their
five-month-old baby on
December 30, 2017.
Imohimi explained that
Chibuzor, Samuel and Omotayo
carried out the attack, adding
that by the time a joint team of
policemen and a vigilance
group responded to a distress
call, Samuel and Omotayo had
fled.
He said, “The gang of three
murderers comprises Chibuzor
Igwe, Samuel Akaeze, aka
Samito and Obamoyegun
Omotayo. Omotayo usually
sprays a powdery substance
into victims’ dwelling places
that would make them to fall
into deep sleep before they
end their lives by smashing
their skulls with grinding
stones.

“Omotayo, having satisfied
that the victims are dead, will
use white handkerchiefs to
mop their blood for ritual
purposes. However, luck ran
out on them when one of the
victims raised the alarm which
attracted the local vigilance
group. The group in turn
alerted the police in that area
and the compound was
cordoned off, leading to the
arrest of Chibuzor Igwe at the
scene.
“Also arrested is one Gift
Akaeze, wife of Samuel, who
provides information about
where to strike for the group.”
Imohimi said Chibuzor
confessed to being a member
of the ritual gang and gave the
police information that led to
the arrest of Samuel and
Omotayo.
He said a bloodstained
grinding stone, suspected to
have been used by the
suspects, had been taken to a
laboratory for forensic
analysis.
“Recall that during my last
press briefing on December
11, 2017, I mentioned that a
blue Nokia Asha phone
belonging to the murdered
pastor of Redeemed Christian
Church of God, Ikorodu, Victor
Kanayo, who was killed on
November 25, 2017, was
recovered from Uche Igwe. He
confessed that his younger
brother, Chibuzor Igwe, gave
him the phone.
“The said Chibuzor was the
one arrested on Alajo Street,
where he and his gang
members murdered Shakiru
Yekini and inflicted grievous
bodily harm on his wife and
six-month-old baby,” he
added.
The CP stated further that
Chibuzor told the police that
Omotayo usually took them to
Adebayo, the herbalist, in
Imosan-Ijebu, Ogun State,
where he (Adebayo)
administered oaths on them in
his shrine before they went on
operations.
He said the herbalist also
fortified them with charms
and blessed the grinding
stones with which they
smashed people’s skulls.
Imohimi said the command
would not relent until all
members of the gang were
rounded up, adding that the
suspected kingpin, Alhaji
Abayomi Alaka, remained
wanted by the police.
He said, “I am aware that
some sections of the press
have opened communication
with him. In his own interest,
he should report at the State
Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, Yaba,
to answer the charges against
him. He will have his day in
court.
“I don’t place bounties on
criminals. I have asked him to
report. He has been declared
wanted. If he believes he is
innocent, wherever he is, he
should report to the police.
They will bring him to the
right place to answer the
charges against him. The
police in Nigeria are one.”
Alaka, in a telephone interview
with PUNCH Metro on
Wednesday, had said he was
ready to submit himself to the
police for investigation.
He, however, insisted that he
would not go to the Lagos
State Police Command, alleging
that investigations under
Imohimi’s supervision would
be compromised.

whereabouts, his security

The guard, Usman Zibo, said,
“He travelled this morning

gate of the Magodo GRA Phase
II, but nothing was pasted
here. No policeman has come
to ask for him from me.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has again restated his resolve to partner with the people of the South-East geo-political zone of the country, insisting that he would always remain a friend to Nd’Igbo.

The President, represented by the Executive Director in charge of Administration/Training, Nigeria Television Authority, Dr. Steve Egbo, made the declaration in Item Amegu Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State on Tuesday, during a special empowerment programme for widows organised by a non-governmental organisation, Chinedu Ogah Foundation.

Buhari decried his alleged hatred for the people of the South-East, saying it was the handwork of “mischief makers.”

He said, “All these accusations, permutations are all lies calculated to create bad feelings of Igbo people.

“I would remain a friend to Nd’Igbo. I recall that in 2002, I invited the late Ikemba Chukwuemeka Ojukwu to my hometown of Daura. We discussed about the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria.


“In 2003, I picked Dr. Chuba Okadigbo as my running mate in that year’s presidential election. If I hated Nd’Igbo, I wouldn’t have done that.

“In 2017, the Federal Government under my leadership commenced work on the Second Niger Bridge following its abandonment by the previous governments all these years.”

He described the enterpreneurship nature of Nd’Igbo as “unique;” noting that other ethnic nationalities should embrace it to move the country forward.


Earlier in his speech, the Chief Executive of Chinedu Ogah Foundation, Mr. Chinedu Ogah, commended President Buhari for his pragmatic leadership qualities and the delivery of democratic dividends to the citizens since his assumption of office.

Ogah noted that no fewer than 2,000 widows would benefit from the endowment fund for the less privileged set up by the COF to assist poor widows.


“Between now and December 2018, we will roll out endowment fund for the less privileged,” he said.
