This is really really sad. If what the Governor alledges is true, and i dont see why not, heads indeed must roll, both literarily and realistically.

Crime › Face Of Suspected Rapist by snowdrops(op): 4:48pm On Mar 10, 2010

http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/crime-a-security/2000-face-of-suspected-rapist.html

Recently, the Oyo State police command arrested a man, Samson Igwe (32), who allegedly raped students from different institutions in both Lagos and Oyo states.

The suspect, while speaking with Crime and Security at his detention base, confessed to the crime, saying that he was only trying to take revenge.
Samson, who claimed to be a trader and resident of Iyana Church, in Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State, said that it was a personal problem that put him in such situation.

He said: “When I came back from South Africa, I was robbed by harlots. They collected my 30,000 dollars and since then, I have decided to punish any harlot I come across. That is the main purpose of my arrest. I was arrested at a hotel after I lodged and slept with some girls about two or three days ago.”

He said that his first operation was when he arrived in Ibadan with two girls from Lagos and he invited additional nine girls from The Polytechnic, Ibadan, together with two of his friends.

“ I lodged at the Premier Hotel with 11 girls who I drugged and made love to two of them after which I collected their jewellery and phones that was on December 15 last year,” he confessed.

Asked on the number of his victims, the suspect who claimed that this would be his second arrest for the same offence, said “it is not up to five girls I slept with. “I am after their belongings. I am not after sex.”

Speaking on his arrest, he said that he was arrested by the manager of the hotel at his shop located at Iyana Church.

The suspect, who was remorseful, told Crime and Security that he regretted his action because he was unable to recover his money.

“I want to revenge what one of them did to me, but I have always been in trouble. This is the second time of my arrest. I was arrested in Ibadan and granted bail,” he said.

The suspect, who claimed that he had no parents, said his wife was in South Africa but another girl he wanted to marry had travelled to Osogbo, Osun State, for financial assistance to bail him out of the police custody. “I have my wife who has travelled to Osogbo in search of money to bail me. I have no child. She travelled because of the money.

”I have not realised anything. The money I made was peanuts compared to what they stole from me. I used the money I made to lodge in the hotel again. I am not after sex. I am after money and whatever I can lay my hands on to recover my money.

“I have carried out the operation more than four times. I cannot remember the number of girls I have drugged and deprived of their belongings.

“I have always fallen into problem instead of gaining what I lost. I regret my action because I always fall into problem. I believe I will quit after this.

“You cannot say because somebody robbed you, you want to be a robber or you lose money to one person and decided to punish another person. I have to turn around,” he said.

Also speaking with Crime and Security, Gbenga Gbadebo (30), who claimed that he was chartered by the suspect from Lagos to Ibadan, said “we went straight to Premier Hotel with two ladies from where we got additional nine.

“He drugged all of us and we slept off. I would not know if he had sex with the ladies. We were taken to Mokola police station. It was there we were told that we were naked. For almost one month now, we have been in police detention”, he said.

Abiodun Sodimu (52) from Ogun State, a goldsmith, was one of the goods’ receivers.

Speaking with Crime and Security, he said: “the suspect had come with his wife to my office that he had problem and wanted to sell necklace and earrings for N62,000 which I paid in instalments.”

Another goods’ receiver, Bamiji Aiki, 45, also a goldsmith, confirmed that he bought necklace from the suspect at the cost of N42,000.
He also paid in instalment.

Of all the praises to Gerrard by fellow footballers ,fans and managers alike,he is rarely praised as a mighty midfielder, rather, he is recognised for other qualities.

so your points are not really valuable, they are not new. a lot of people already knew he is best not playing in the midfield.

and he is still a great footballer. he has just been woeful all season.

unfair criticism. Its been an injury hit season for him. A tree cannot make a forest. He had done his best, his team mates are not up to it.

No more turning the other cheek,

As long as we only target the men, I am perfectly fine with this,

Vengence is in the air. Lets show a restrained and humane response to this massacre of innocent civilians.

If we cleanse their villages then we are no less barbarians that they are. That is the exact response the bast.ards behind this want.

The main problems is poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. People who are educated, in full time reasonably paying jobs will not engage or be persuaded to in this act of inhumanity. These [poverty, illiteracy and unemployment] are the enemies that must be defeated to end this cycle. The governemt we all know has failed woefully in its responsibility. They are the ones that should be held to account.

Unless we want the violence to continue until there is no body left to fight before starting to address the main issues.

Politics › Nigeria Must Bring Killers Of Christians To Justice: Clinton by snowdrops(op): 11:30pm On Mar 08, 2010

WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Monday on Nigeria to find and punish those responsible for the killings of more than 500 Christians in a wave of sectarian slaughter.

"We continue to urge all parties to exercise restraint," Clinton told reporters, adding the Nigerian government "should make sure the perpetrators are brought to justice."

Clinton addressed reporters during a press conference with Gabon President Ali Bongo after more than 500 people were reported killed in three Christian villages in the north of the country.

"The Nigerian government should ensure that the perpetrators of acts of violence are brought to justice under the rule of law and that human rights are respected as order is restored," the chief US diplomat said.

They wanted the huge cross in front of the Chapel of Resurrection at Unibadan uprooted and removed. Christians refused and stood their ground despite several muslim threats.
What ever the case, Christians are ready and am sure victory will be very certain.

i really dont understand where people get their gist from. who said there's a 24 hr curfew in place. i am yet to hear that and i am based here in jos.

there is tension every where, but that is expected. People claim there is a repraisal attack in some areas, but it has not been confirmed.

our lives and security is in the hands of God becos the Nigerian Army are a failure if i may say.

i have read everybody's comment and i think i wouldnt be biased if i say that there is no justification for killing women and children. i believe the so called islam should even be against that. People cant sleep again with their two eyes closed because no one knows where the next attack would start from.

to be honest,ethnicity is never the issue but religion but violence in the south is mostly attributed to territorial control.

I believe ethnicity is the bottom line. During one of the previous crisis, even yoruba muslims were attacked by the northern muslims because they said they were not a proper religious strain. It is ethnic cleansing fuelled by a political agenda.

More than 200 dead in religious violence

JOS, Nigeria — Rioters armed with machetes slaughtered more than 200 people overnight Sunday as religious violence flared anew between Christians and Muslims in central Nigeria, witnesses said. Hundreds of people fled their homes, fearing reprisal attacks.

The bodies of the dead — including many women and children — lined dusty streets in three mostly Christian villages [/b]south of the regional capital of Jos, local journalists and a civil rights group said. They said at least 200 bodies had been counted by Sunday afternoon.

Torched homes smoldered after the 3 a.m. attacks that a region-wide curfew enforced by the country's police and military should have stopped.

The killings represent the latest religious violence in an area once known as Nigeria's top tourist destination, adding to the tally of thousands already killed in the last decade in the name of religious and political ambitions.

Jos lies in Nigeria's "middle belt," where dozens of ethnic groups mingle in a band of fertile and hotly contested land separating the Muslim north from the predominantly Christian south.

In Dogo Nahawa, a village three miles (five kilometers) south of Jos, residents said[b] the dead included a 4-day-old infant. Those who survived claimed their attackers shouted at them in Hausa and Fulani — two local languages used by Muslims.

A spokesman for Plateau state where Jos is located, Gregory Yenlong, said police were seeking to arrest Saleh Bayari, the regional leader of the Fulanis, because Bayari's comments incited the attack. He offered no other details.

But the chairman of the local Fulani organization denied that his people were involved in the attack.

Nigerian military units began surrounding the affected villages Sunday afternoon, said Red Cross spokesman Robin Waubo. It was not clear if the violence was still continuing.

Waubo said the agency did not know how many people may have died in the fighting but workers have been sent to local morgues and hospitals to check.

Jos has been under a dusk-til-dawn curfew enforced by the military since religious-based violence in January left more than 300 people dead — most of them Muslims. It was not clear how the attackers managed to elude the military curfew early Sunday.

"It appears to be reprisal attacks," Waubo said.

In a statement Sunday night, acting President Goodluck Jonathan said security agencies would be stationed along Plateau state's borders to keep outsiders from coming in with more weapons and fighters.

"(We will) undertake strategic initiatives to confront and defeat these roving bands of killers," the statement read. "While it is too early to state categorically what is responsible for this renewed wave of violence, we want to inform Nigerians that the security services are on top of the situation."

In nearby Bauchi state, more than 600 people fled to a makeshift camp that still held victims from January's violence, said Red Cross official Adamu Abubakar. He expected more to come, putting an even bigger strain on the already limited humanitarian aid for those fleeing the violence.

Jos has a history of communal violence that has made elections difficult to organize. Rioting in September 2001 killed more than 1,000 people and Muslim-Christian battles killed up to 700 people in 2004. More than 300 residents died during a similar uprising in 2008 and violence that began in January killed more than 300 people.

When religious violence takes place in Nigeria, it normally has roots in local issues, rather than being influenced by international extremist groups.

In Jos, Muslims have complained about being denied jobs and other benefits by the Christian-dominated government. However, many Muslims also operate shops and businesses in a nearby town where the tourist trade has dried up and the surrounding tin mines have been abandoned, stoking fears for Christians about retaliation from Muslim neighbors.

Associated Press Writer Bashir Adigun contributed to this report from Abuja, Nigeria. Gambrell reported from Lagos, Nigeria.

WHAT CONCRETE HELP HAVE U OFFERED THE STATE ( that is apart from clumsy baseless complaints?). People are trying to develop the state and u hide in u.k making noise from there? You are pathetic. Na poverty dey worry you. Na im drive you go politics eh?
1. I am NOT a PAID card carrying member. Yes you are. You can never escape from that. You cant deny your identity.
2. AT WHICH POINT DID I SAY THE SSG WAS THERE BEFORE THE RIOT BROKE OUT?Yes you did.Read your posts, on this thread and the one you miserably copy and pasted from below.
3. ARE U AWARE THAT THE PDP LEGISLATORS IMPORTED THUGS INTO THE HOUSE CHAMBERS A NITE BEFORE THE EVENT? Like i once said, dont talk on what u dont have COMPLETE information on.How did you know that. Another of your numerous lies eh. Even satan will be amazed at your deceipts.
4. Someone wrote a critical article and police arrested him and thats the governor's fault? Who sent the police? The commissioner of police told the journalist why he was arrested and that he was sent by the government.
5. So in your "wisdom", the governor controls the police (which are federal and i even recently said were biased!). The governor controls the courts that set lucky igbinedion "free". The governor does everything and controls everything?Why are you acting dumb? I know you are not insane, and not as much a slowpoke as you want to be seen as here. The police are reknowned for selling themselves to the highest bidders, you don forget?
6. And if i consider u my enemy, i WONT waste my precious time online with u!We are like north and south poles. Parallel lines. I am for objectivity and truth; you are an AC propagandist and a master of deception. If that means friendship, then i wonder what enemity is.
7. STOP noise making! IF u have any tangible thing to offer, why not return home and contribute like every right-thinking person would?I dont make noise. I type, the bitter truth, that could attract persecutions, even assassination from your party in Edo state. You guys are the noise makers. Even the crooked Anenih has never responded to the numerous attacks levied against him by the noise making Oshiomhole. His silence does not signify guilt.
Perhaps you should channel all these efforts at launching a campaign against Igbinedion family so the state can recover the looted funds they stole.
