A 77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver, Olatunji W. Bolaji, was killed in a shooting outside a hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.

Bolaji, who lived in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was on duty around 2 a.m. on Wednesday when he picked up a passenger, a 22-year-old man, outside the Byblos Hookah Bar near Rittenhouse Square in Centre City, CBS reports on Friday.

Police said shortly after Bolaji picked up the young man, another vehicle pulled up behind his SUV, and two men got out.

One of them opened fire, shooting both Bolaji and the passenger.

Despite being shot in the head, Bolaji managed to drive a short distance before crashing into a pole at 17th and Chestnut Streets.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His passenger, who sustained gunshot wounds to the arm, leg, and stomach, was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.

Police say the shooting was captured on surveillance cameras, and the attackers were in a black Jeep Grand Cherokee believed to have Massachusetts number plates.

Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind the attack. Investigators believe there may have been a physical altercation between the passenger and the suspects before the shooting.

Wallade:
Learn to read. Did you read the article that op posted. What was your opinion about it?

You literally said the publication was for cheap publicity, which is because the op started that they recorded success due to new management

Wallade:
I think op is simply trying to do cheap publicity service for the DSS

But it was posted that the security pple failed or were killed you'd believe

WannaHowzit:
Personally i want to see him banned. US law treats celebs with kid gloves, he got community service or something for brutalising Rihanna. The rest of the world should show him that's unacceptable.

This happened since whem?

Funny enough, watch as those cursed APC online influencers would leave the Fulani to start abusing the Igbos in this thread, even with a sitting Yoruba president, these guys are too afraid to challenge their Fulani masters. Thank God that as an Igbo man,I bow down to no one except my Chi.

Greetings my people,

Please I really need your advice on how to go about this matter that is really eating me up. We went on a normal date with my girl whom I have proposed marriage to and she accepted it. But in recent time I have been telling her to come and see my parent but was like we are not yet ready, I don't understand it.

Today we went out and she opened up and started telling me areas of my life which she's not really comfortable with and I should improve on them. When she was done she said she needs us to slow things down for now.

I don't really know how to go about this right now. Please I really need your advice on it. I really love this girl and wants to settle down with her. We broke before and reconcile after two years, and we been back for like 6 months now.

Please no insult or curse. Please I need your advice.

You’re a MAN better leave that girl and be free while looking out for a woman that LOVES YOU not the one YOU LOVE.

Don’t be a Simp bro

Why would Wike sponsor the script? You read wrong with misconceptions she isn’t Wike’s wife but una too blind to see

The old hag is afraid that her criminal former governor will lose his position as minister if the courts do justice by doing the needful. Wike has started pressing her mumu button.

Exactly the message she was trying to pass…She is not Wike’s wife

VEHICLE PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION:

Purchasing a used vehicle can be risky. When excited buyers get emotionally caught up in the vehicle purchase, they often overlook mechanical, electrical, cosmetic, and safety issues during visual inspections and test drives. These problems are compounded if the vehicle being purchased is located in a car sales parking lot where testing is restricted until the vehicle has been paid for purchased prior to being seen in person. Fraudulent car dealers that may have covered up technical or body cosmetic issues would prefer that you pay for the vehicle before testing or hope that these issues would not be detected until payment has been made or better still, after the vehicle has left their car lot.

Check the general condition of vehicles that you wish to buy with a fine tooth comb as well as with a “magnifying glass” “stethoscope” or even better, with a “microscope” to ascertain if there are any underlying engine or transmission issues or if the vehicle had been involved in a minor or severe collision and repaired prior to it being sold.

Thousands of imported vehicles, especially from the USA have been bought as salvage auctioned cars that may have been involved in a severe accident, flooding or fire damage. In most instances, these vehicles would be shipped into Nigeria and cleared through Nigeria Customs for a lower Import Duty (Due to the accident conditions) and repaired in back street panel beating workshops with minimal attention to details. They are then resprayed and sold on to unsuspecting buyers. These vehicles pose serious danger to the end user on the roads and would certainly become an uneconomical asset investment.

Check if the mileage on the odometer has been tampered with or too low for the age or condition of the vehicle. Most Imported used cars (Tokunbo) may have had their mileages tampered with to increase the value of the cars or cleverly modified to reduce the Year Of Manufacture. (For example a 2011 Toyota Prado TX-L could easily be modified to look like a 2014 model) the price difference could well be over 4 million Naira.

Others may have been stolen and being sold off with Chassis (VIN) Numbers that have been tampered with and have had the paperwork faked.
Some vehicles cleared through Seme border in Cotonou, Benin Republic, may also have had lesser duty paid for the value of the car and then sold with Custom Clearance documents reflecting that full duty was paid. Running into a Customs Checkpoint would reveal that Full Duty was not paid and could easily result in the impounding or outright seizure of the vehicle.

I have also observed that many cars coming in through Seme and other border crossings may have had the Catalytic Converters (Commonly called Indomie) removed and/ or stuffed with wire mesh to muffle the sound of the exhaust. This causes severe fuel consumption and a host of other engine malfunctions. Replacing a missing catalytic converter could cost over 30k each.

Other vehicles may have been “Flown” across the border through the bush where the access roads are usually very rough bush tracks that may have damaged the vehicle’s suspension, underneath, tyres and body work. Most, if not all of these vehicles are sold with fake documents.
Another clever gimmick by unscrupulous car dealers is the selling of Nigerian Used cars as Tokunbo. Old vehicle documentation are discarded and erased from the Government Database and replaced with new ones reflecting that the car has never been registered. Silly stickers of Shipping companies and Clearing Ports are stuck on the wind screens and windows to create the semblance of a Tokunbo vehicle that has never been registered.

Some cars may also have electrical or electronic issues and have had the Warning Lights on the dashboards that are meant to indicate Faults within the vehicle permanently removed.

These lights may include:
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION) MALFUNCTION
SRS (AIRBAG) MALFUNCTION
ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) MALFUNCTION
TPMS (TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) MALFUNCTION

A lot of cars have become so rusty underneath and below the surface of the paintwork and not usually visible on normal inspection. Exhaust pipes and pots may have corroded severely as well as chassis, brakes and suspension components. Buying such a car would certainly lead to breakdowns or accidents and would cost a lot of money to repair.

To eliminate much of the anxiety and get an accurate picture of the condition of the vehicle, buyers should have a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) done before the sale is final.

When should I get a PPI?
A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended when purchasing a vehicle without a warranty. If there is no warranty, the buyer is immediately assuming all the risk in the event of a breakdown or major mechanical issue. For this reason, a pre-purchase inspection makes financial sense.

What would be inspected?
A thorough panel by panel and external visual inspection of the vehicle paint condition including Rust, Tyres, Evidence of body filler and poor panel alignment. Also check for signs of body flex stress or cracks resulting from weakening body frame. Inspect the under carriage and look for evidence of major or minor collision repairs, corrosion, fluid leaks from the drive train, belts, oil and water hoses.

A visual inspection of the interior carpet, headliner, seats, signs of water infiltration or flooding, condition of floor pans as well as a check of all instrumentation and electrical equipment.

A test drive of the vehicle if possible to evaluate any detectible problems in the engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and brakes under various conditions.

Until they spend at least 30
years in jail, the arrest means nothing.

Btw, DSS withdrew illegal gun possesion charge against Emefiele without any reason. Take DSS serious at your own peril

It’s all fun until DSS takes you serious 😂

CaptainFM1:
Each quarters are just writing stories that suit their expectations. You can never predict what the judges will pronounced. So until then, make una stop speculating and stop peddling and stop pushing unnecessary news to the society.

You’re right…each quarters have their own media outlets who publish stories that suit their preferred narrative
