A soldier has shot and killed Friday Ojeh, a bureau de change operator at Ikeja.

Ojeh was shot in the forehead at about 3.40p.m yesterday by one of the two soldiers who stormed the premises of Jabita Hotel, where Ojeh and others operate.

P.M. News gathered that Ojeh, who hailed from Kwale Local Government Area of Delta State, died instantly, with brain splattered on the floor.

The victim’s brother, Harrison, said: “I was not at the scene of the incident. It was the sound of gun blast that drew my attention and others to the scene, only to discover that my own brother had been shot dead.”

He also stated that Ojeh moved about two months ago to his newly completed house in Agbado crossing area, a boundary community between Lagos and Ogun states.

He narrated further: “There was a crisis here on Friday when a lady who came to patronise a bureau de change operator here said she was short-changed. But that had been resolved. It was not even my brother who short-changed the lady.

“Two soldiers with a lady came this evening (yesterday). Eyewitnesses told me that soldiers asked for his own share of the deal that took place on Friday. My brother explained to him that he was not involved and that there was nothing left for him.

“As my brother tried to explain to them, the soldier who shot him did not listen. He pushed him back and shot him on the forehead. After that, the soldiers strolled down to Alade market where they were posted.”

The soldiers and the woman who claimed to have been short changed were later arrested and later taken to Area ‘F’ Police Command Ikeja.

Another bureau de change operator, Babatunde Balogun, said the soldiers who were posted to Alade market came to Jabita Hotel to claim ‘title’, which means bribe.

He urged Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, to save operators from the lawless soldiers who usually abandon their duty posts to harass operators at the hotel.

Friday’s sister, Mrs. Patricia Nmaloko, who wept profusely after she was informed about Ojeh’s death, described him as a peaceful man.

She regretted that Ojeh’s life could be cut short too soon.

Nmaloko said when Ojeh’s father died, he was just three years old and he became an orphan a few years later, when his mother also died.

She said that was the reason the late Ojeh, the 36-year old father of three, Ruth, 4, Benjamin,3 and 2-month old Shadrack, married very early.

Policemen from Area F, Ikeja, removed the body of the victim to the mortuary for autopsy. They said investigation into the incident was ongoing.

I have Seen her profile pic,it's dry and xpressionless,there's nothin there to suggest she's a hotty,her face is downwards and covered wif a hooded white top,luking like a gangstar wanna-be.if your definition of a hotty is Kunbi's dry pic wif a face that lukz kinda swollen then homy somebody needs to put U on the game cos that pic is so not hot!

How can the guy be Yoruba, with his Niger-delta accent.

The Yoruba guy was the stupidest (another ukba video), saying that it wasnt him in a passport photo
and he couldnt even state his date of birth.

now dat was funny acting like he is trying to prove a point when he has been busted alrdy

LMAO

Lol that 15 yr old man is gone ,must have been his happiest moment since he easily told bullshit stories to the officers.

Ujujoan:
You are trying to be a smart-ass aint you! lol!

Neway, if you see my first post here u'd know that I support her entirely. I'm saying this because I've done the same thing. I met a guy who was crazy about me and proposed to me. I said yes and I met his family and introduced him to mine. Of cos he's not bad looking and is not a broke ass!. We even fixed a date for the formal introduction. Why did I leave? The chemistry wasnt right!

I would go days without missing him, I would get angry over every lil thing he does, the tot of sex with him was . . . well not nice! I was engaged to him and I was flirting with other people. I guess it dawned on me that I couldn't be faithful to him if we got married. With all the money and comfort, I just had to let him go. Marrying someone you dont love is not only putting yourself in bondage, it's putting yourself at risk! If I have a hubby, I should be able to look the other way when I see a cute guy! I did try to love him, but I guess you dont force some things!

I left him and he got married to someone else 4 months later . . do I regret it? No! Do I miss him? No! Do I feel bad I broke his heart? Yes! I feel bad I let it get that far before being bold enough to walk out because if he did the same thing to me, I'd be the first to cry foul!

But all in all I have no regerts leaving him, because I have seen what it means to be in love, and that's what you marry for!

Awwwwww, don mind me jare no worries

urm, is that the mother- or the father in drag
P.S. who gives a Bleep about the baby

lets be sincere I don't think its too much for the woman to add money to what her hubby is giving her if she is working as well come on now i can understand if she doesn't have a job

FL Gators:
If its not enough, simply find something to accumulate money. Like selling rice, puff puff or akara.
Dnt be depending on him like that cuz he'll see it as your weakness.

basically one of them gats to lose their 1st game of d season 2nite (celtic v cavs) not good

^^^^^maybe she meant 3wks lol

LETS GO LAKERS

demystify:
To all those who are in support of my decision, thanks.

To those who think i may regret, well. . . i dunno for now but i pray not to. . . Amen!

Someone wanted to know why i don't and can't like him. . .
Honestly, i dunno. I never missed this guy when we were dating, i never liked his presence, sometimes i hate to pick his calls. he easily makes me angry perhaps it because i don't like him.

anytime he try to visit me i ask him not to, and in case he comes. . . i wished he leaves early.

And the truth is, he isn't ugly, he works and got 6figure salary. . . he's comfortable but money isn't what am looking for cos am a working class lady too and comfortable as well. He's 7yrs older than and that isn't a problem for me BUT THE CLICK WAS SIMPLY NOT THERE. I couldn't stand him.

I tried folks and God knows i did.

6 fig damm where is UJU wen u need her lol

dramaquin:
really pple,read topics well b4 u comment.
15k may or may not be enuf bt i dnt tink thats d real issue here,
IMO, its not a prob for a woman to contribute to house upkeep and all with or without appreciaiton (this doesnt mean she shldnt be appreciated o!)
bt its her family na, sacrifices shld be made without complaint,
am pretty sure she doesnt handle quite as much as he does.so wats an extra 15k from u since u wok
bottomline, accept your hubby as he is, if u cant change him (men and their big big egos)
and pls dnt let d negative comments here influence u(half of them are from single ladies/gentlemen)

good point

good

no comment

wow. we thank God o
