Iyetade Soyinka, a daughter of Nobel
laureate Wole Soyinka, has died. Ms.
Soyinka, who was born June 6, 1965,
died at the University of Ibadan
Teaching Hospital where she was being
treated for an undisclosed ailment.
The death was disclosed in a statement
signed by Jahman Anikulapo, an aide to
Mr. Soyinka, one of the world’s foremost
dramatists and winner of the 1986
Nobel Prize in literature. The statement
noted that the late Iyetade Soyinka was
a student at the Staff School and Queens
School, Ibadan before she studied
Medicine at the University of Ibadan.
Mr. Anikulapo’s statement described the
deceased as “affable, intelligent and
sometimes capricious,” adding that she
“struggled with her health in recent
years.” Despite her health woes, the late
Iyetade Soyinka “greeted every day with
a smile and doted on her two children.”
The statement, which was issued on
behalf of the deceased’s family,
revealed that Ms. Soyinka “took ill quite
suddenly and passed away while being
treated at UCH, Ibadan.
“Iyetade leaves behind two children,
both parents, numerous siblings, nieces
and nephews.”
No funeral arrangements were
announced in the statement.

Biblical apostles are turning in their graves over a
pastor, Rev. Michael Oguguo, 52, who sold the
baby of his daughter, Chiamaka Oguguo, for the
sum of N200,000 with the connivance of a clinic
in Umuechem, Etche, Rivers State where the baby
was born.
Rev. Oguguo, a native of Ejemekwuru in Oguta is
the minister of 11th Deliverance Ministry,
Nkwesi, Oguta, Imo State while the clinic is
operated by Cyprian Phat, a homeopathic
medicine practitioner.
As Sunday Sun learnt from the Imo State
Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Katsina,
the sordid story started when Chiamaka was
impregnated by her boyfriend, whose name was
given as Chinedu Ukachukwu.
Recalling the painful experience, 18-year-old
Chiamaka told Sunday Sun: “I was impregnated by
my boyfriend Chinedu Ukachukwu who lied to me
that he was not married. Later I learnt that he is
married with four children. When my father, Rev
Oguguo heard that I was pregnant, instead of
accepting me with my condition, he threw me out
of the house and I slept in an uncompleted
building for days. My father encouraged me to
abort the pregnancy, but I didn’t listen to him.”
As Chiamaka got close to the delivery date, a
pastor colleague of her father lured her to New
Life Clinic in Umuechem, Etche, Rivers State,
operated by Cyprian Phat, who, the Police
Commissioner said, masqueraded as a medical
doctor. He further revealed that Phat held
Chiamaka captive for about one month until she
gave birth to a baby girl.
The twist in the tale occurred when Chiamaka’s
father who had initially abandoned her suddenly
re-surfaced after hearing of her safe delivery of
the baby.
Continuing the tale, Chiamaka said: “When I saw
him, I thought he came to rejoice with me. I did
not know he came with a devilish intent. Like
magic, my baby girl disappeared from my bed. I
thought she was taken for treatment. I didn’t
know that my father had connived with the
doctor and sold my baby to one Chinwe Okuzu,
25, a Business Studies student of Abia State
Polytechnic for the sum of N200,000.”
Recounting his role in the baby sale caper, Phat
who hails from Mgbele in Oguta LGA, Imo State,
told Sunday Sun: “I claimed to be a homeopathic
practitioner. I was deported from Austria in 1988
after I was unable to undergo training as a
mechanic. I returned home in 1993 and started
practicing homeopathic medicine. Chiamaka
Oguguo came to my clinic to deliver a baby girl.
Later her father, Rev Oguguo came to my clinic
and said we should sell the baby girl. We
arranged with a lady, Chinwe Okuzu who bought
the baby at N200,000 at the clinic at Umuechem
Etche, Rivers State. Later the police came to
arrest me and I have confessed to them.”
The next link in the chain of infamy, Okuzu, a
native of Umuchi in Ihitte Uboma LGA Imo State,
confirmed buying the baby but added that she
did so on behalf of one Mrs Rose Nwadinaobi,
who runs a baby factory, from whom she
collected a share of the proceeds from the sale.
Her words: “I am an agent to Mrs Rose
Nwadinaobi who took the child from me and I
have not been able to locate her since I was
arrested me.”
The bubble burst for the conspirators when
Chiamaka screamed blue murder, raising dust
over the disappearance of the newborn baby girl.
As it stands now her only wish and utmost desire
is to be re-united with her baby, as she wails
unceasingly: “My cry is that I need my baby girl.
They should return my baby girl to me. I have
disowned my father who claims to be a reverend
in the church. He is not a man of God. He is just
deceiving the congregation. If he can do this to
me his own daughter what would he do to
others? He does not have the fear of God. I am
ready to carry my cross and care for my baby.
Today’s men of God are so deceitful.”
Meanwhile, there is a glimmer of hope that the
baby girl may be found as the Imo State Police
Commissioner disclosed that Rose Nwadinobi,
who bought the newborn is already in the police
custody. He further said that the suspects would
soon appear in court.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
‘Orange is New Black’ drug case still open in
Chicago federal court
PRINCE BURUJI KASHAMU
With her prison memoir “Orange is the New
Black,” and the Netflix series that followed, Piper
Kerman may have spun gold from the youthful
crime that nearly ruined her life more than a
decade ago, but the heroin trafficking case that
upended her Ivy League world is still an open
book at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago.
With a mix of comedy and drama, and packed
with tales of lesbian sex and inmates abused by
guards, the edgy, fictionalized version of
Kerman’s life in prison has become one of the
hottest shows in Hollywood this year. But in the
real story behind the experiences of the fictional
“Piper Chapman,” the central character is the
accused drug kingpin, a Nigerian businessman
and political boss who has avoided U.S.
authorities for 15 years.
Buruji Kashamu, who is frequently given the royal
title “Prince” in African news reports, claims he
was targeted in a case of mistaken identity.
Rather than being the international drug
smuggler known as “Alaji,” he says he was
actually a U.S. government informant who
provided information about terrorist attacks on
the U.S. before and after 9/11.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago won’t say
much about the case because Kashamu is still
wanted on charges alleging his drug ring moved
millions of dollars worth of heroin from Europe
and Southeast Asia through O’Hare International
Airport during the 1990s.
The case has frustrated prosecutors here, in part
because they once had Kashamu in their grasp
but lost him. English authorities arrested him
when he landed there in 1998 and held him for
five years during extradition hearings. Ultimately,
however, British courts let Kashamu go after
ruling that Chicago prosecutors had tainted their
eyewitness identification evidence by failing to
disclose that one of his co-defendants failed to
pick him out of a photo lineup.
Over the years, a series of Chicago lawyers have
argued on Kashamu’s behalf, most recently in an
unsuccessful 2011 appeal to the 7th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals attempting to have the charges
dismissed.
Kashamu claims the real “Alaji” was his dead
brother and that he has been mistakenly
identified by everybody involved in the case. The
government has argued that those claims are
absurd, given that the witnesses include his
former American lover and her sister, who
recruited Kerman into the ring.
“We’re still trying to figure out ways we can fix
this for Buruji,” said his Chicago lawyer, Scott
Frankel. “They’re trying to bring this guy back
and then have a bunch of people who haven’t
seen him in years testify that he’s the guy.”
In her book, Kerman makes a few references to
“Alaji,” but she never mentions Kashamu by
name and says she never met him. But her
girlfriend “had stayed at his compound (in Benin)
and been subject to ‘witch-doctor’ ministrations
and was now considered his sister-in-law.”
Published in 2010, five years after Kerman was
released from a federal prison in Connecticut,
“Orange is the New Black” immediately drew
attention from Hollywood. By early 2012 — just
a few months after appellate judges in Chicago
refused to dismiss Kashamu’s charges — Kerman
had sold her story to Netflix.
The popularity of the show has helped Netflix
shake the foundations of the television industry
this year. Because it streams over the Internet
and is producing hit shows, Netflix is starting to
challenge the very definition of “television.”
Although the Washington political drama “House
of Cards” caused a stir this year by winning
multiple Emmy awards without airing on
broadcast or cable TV, Netflix officials announced
this fall that “Orange is the New Black” will
finish the year as the company’s “most-watched”
original program.
Kerman did not respond to requests for comment
through her own email or Netflix’s chief
spokesman. Her Chicago attorney, Patrick Cotter,
initially said he would consider commenting but
then stopped responding to inquiries.
While Kashamu’s lawyers try to clear his name in
Chicago, he has become a player in Nigeria’s
chaotic politics, according to African news
reports. He runs a faction of the ruling People’s
Democratic Party near the capital, Lagos, and is
frequently quoted criticizing other politicians in
the West African country.
Recently, newspapers there have reported that
the Nigerian courts are reconsidering whether to
extradite Kashamu to the U.S. Such a decision
would be unlikely, and the development is more
likely a bargaining chip in some dispute among
competing players of the People’s Democratic
Party, said John Campbell, a former U.S.
ambassador to Nigeria who is now a fellow at the
Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
While Kashamu has remained free, 14 other
people in the case have long since been
convicted, served prison time and been released.
All but one pleaded guilty. Most were like
Kerman, Northeasterners without criminal
backgrounds, recruited into the smuggling ring
with the promise of adventure and travel.

A woman in Cross River state has been arrested
by the police after her daughter reported her for
selling her baby or N253,000(about $1,600)
Miss Ndidi Nkwegu, alleged that her mother sold
her baby daughter to a child trafficker, who has
also been nabbed, in the neighbouring Ebonyi
state, after she sold the baby at a bigger price to
another ‘baby business tycoon’ based in Abuja.
“When I came back home and asked my mother
for the whereabouts of my daughter, she couldn’t
tell me anything reasonable.
“I discovered that she had bought so many things
which she never had before; actually, my mother
was never happy with me when she discovered
that I was pregnant, prior to my giving birth to
my baby girl.
“I had to call the police; my mother is now in
police detention in Cross River State.
“After interrogation, the police discovered that
she was the one who sold my baby to a woman
who is a child trafficker,” she told newsmen.
The case blew open after the the Ebonyi State
command of the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps (NSCDC) arrested four persons
allegedly engaged in child trafficking.
They were paraded Friday.
Mrs Ego Echendu, the Commandant of NSCDC in
Ebonyi, told a news conference at the NSCDC
Headquarters in Abakaliki, said that the suspects
were arrested on Thursday in Izzi Local
Government Area of Ebonyi.
“Yesterday we were able to arrest some suspects
we have been trailing and monitoring for about
one month now; they are involved in child
trafficking,” he said.
”The Traffic Unit of the Command foiled the
suspects’ plot to convey their victims out of the
state. However, other suspects are still at large
but as soon as the command completes its
investigation, the case would be transferred to
the agency responsible for such matters,’’ she
said.
Echendu said that one of the traffickers was a
dealer in the child trafficking business while the
other suspect was a buyer.
“We had to strike yesterday following the
information that reached us.
“The buyer was about to move to Abuja to sell the
baby to another set of people for a higher
amount; the information we got was that the
baby was bought at the cost of N253, 500.
“We are tiding up our file. As this is not one of
our core mandates, we are going to transfer the
case to the agency saddled with such
responsibility,” she said.
Echendu said that the suspects had confessed to
the crime, adding that they also divulged
information on some of their accomplices.
“The dealer is Blessing Nwilo, a teacher in Sharon
Secondary School, Abakaliki, but she hails from
Enugu; the buyer is Ngboro Chikezie from
Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi.
“She claims to be an Area Officer with the
Ministry of Education in Ebonyi,” she said.

but tukur said they won't be missed, then why having a meeting with them?

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo State
chapter, has tackled former governor of the state,
Senator Rashidi Ladoja, over an allegation by the
Accord Party (AP) that the state government had
destroyed the civil service by its sack of some
permanent secretaries, saying he (Ladoja) lacked
the intellectual depth to appreciate or administer
a modern civil service.
Senator Ladoja is the leader of AP in Oyo State.
According to the Oyo APC, there is thus no
government, in the history of the state that had
built the institution of the civil service as the
party-led government.
According to a statement issued by the APC
Interim Publicity Secretary in the state, Dauda
Kolawole, the Abiola Ajimobi-led government
was focusing on rebuilding the institution of the
civil service, which it said had long been
bastardised by previous governments before it,
stating that in the process, it could not but purge
the service of long-held pollutions.
“Ajimobi inherited accumulated dregs and dirt in
all ramifications in the state. From Alao-Akala’s
debasement of the values of the civil service, to
Ladoja’s lack of mental depth to understand the
rudiments of the service, it was a civil service
that needed purification and restructuring. Our
concentration was on rebuilding the institution
of the civil service and restoring the dignity of an
average civil servant in himself as the engine
room of governmental development and not as a
lap-dog to politicians in power,” the statement
said.
The APC noted that in the history of civil service
in Oyo State, no government had sent civil
servants on training within and outside the
country as much as the present APC-led
government.
“We have trained 12,211 teaching and non-
teaching staff of secondary schools, promoted
1,714 civil servants from all cadres in 2012
alone, gave training and capacity building to over
13,000 civil and public servants, dedicated 10
out of the 100 43-seater buses we procured to
civil servants, which convey them free to and fro
work, among others.
These can be cross-checked. We challenge Ladoja
to tell the whole world what he did for civil
servants in his barren and unimpressive rule of
our state,” the APC said.
The party further said that it was public
knowledge that the Ajimobi-led administration
detested most of the vices of the workplace that
its predecessors allowed to fester all in the name
of playing politics with the future of the state.
“Ajimobi believes that government should not
play politics with the future of its people. He has
raised the mental disposition of the civil service
and civil servants by restoring their dignity which
was devalued by the Ladojas and Akalas. It is
apparent that in the quest to reposition the
service, accumulated dirt of the past would have
to give way for a new dawn in the foremost civil
service in Nigeria that produced the Tejumade
Alakijas,” the APC said.
