A 31-year-old man, Kabiru Mohammed, has confessed
to hiring a seven-man robbery gang to steal $383,000
(N61, 280, 000) from his father. The suspect, who works with his father, told PUNCH
Metro that he hired notorious robbery kingpin,
Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Godogodo, to steal the money
from his father who owns a bureau de change at the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. PUNCH Metro learnt that the gang robbed
Mohammed’s father twice. Mohammed, who is being detained at the Special Anti-
Robbery Squad, Ikeja, said, “My father is a bureau de
change operator at the airport. I am the one who
arranged a seven-man armed robbery gang led by
Godogodo to rob my older brother, Ibrahim who was
carrying my father’s money amounting to $383,000.

“I told the gang that my father had dollars. The first
operation was when Ibrahim wanted to convey
money from local airport to international airport, I
called Godogodo and gave him the car number plate
and the colour of the car. I told them not to kill my
brother, but to shoot into the air. I knew my brother would release the money because my father told us
not to drag money with armed robbers. They collected
$350,000 and gave me only two bundles which is $
20,000 “In the second operation they stopped my brother in
front of Air Force Bus Stop and collected $33,000 and
they gave me $8,000.” The suspect also confessed to have joined Godogodo
in some robbery operations in the state. “I am a member of the robbery gang. My role is to
find targets and also information which I give to the
gang. That is why they call me ‘Target man’.” Mohammed, who claimed to be a 400 Level student of
History and International Relations at the Lagos State
University, said he was introduced to robbery by one
Akin he met in 2008.

When asked how he spent his loot, the Kano State
indigene said, “I used my money to build a mosque
in Kano and buy 17 rams for some people in Kano.” Another suspect, Okechukwu Lawrence, who was
arrested alongside Mohammed, confessed that he
was the one handling the weapons for the gang. The indigene of Imo State said, “My work is to keep
ammunition for the gang after collecting AK47 rifles
from the policemen the gang shot dead. I joined the
gang to get enough money to boost my spare parts
business in Ladipo market.” PUNCH Metro had reported on July 8, 2013, that a gang
of robbers invaded 04 Hotel in Ajah area of the state,
killing the owner of the hotel, Olanrewaju Subair and
five others. Godogodo, who owned up to the crime, said he killed
Subair because he was a police informant and had
assisted the police in arresting his colleague, Odun. Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said the
suspects would soon be charged to court.

nagoma: Yes , but we hate his incompetance. More birthdays to him (fast forward) so that we can elect a capable leader.

History was made today (Monday, November 18th, 2013) in Montreal, Canada
as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) unanimously
elected a Nigerian and the first African, Dr Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu as the
President of the ICAO.

The election, of Dr Aliu whose term commences on Januray 1, 2014 through
December 31st 2016, took place at the ICAO Council Chambers. The Proposal
of the Nigerian representative was made by his Singaporean counterpart, Ng
Teachiou and seconded by the representative from Saudi Arabia.

All the voting members of the council, were called Country after country
to voice their position on the candidature of Aliu and they unanimously
declared their support for the Nigerian candidate. This was swiftly
followed by a unanimous vote and declaration of Dr Aliu as the new
President of the Council by then outgoing President Roberto Kobeh Gonzalez
. His declaration as the new ICAO helmsman was greeted with a thunderous
ovation and congratulations from fellow Council members.

Gonzalez who presided over the election with the Secretary General Raymond
Benjamin, expressed satisfaction with the conduct and called on all
members to extend the same level of cooperation given to him to the new
President. He extolled the virtues of Aliu, expressing confidence that
the Council and ICAO will grow from strength to strength under the new
President.

Meanwhile, Aviation Minister, Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah has
congratulated President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the government and people
of Nigeria as well as Dr Aliu on his election as the new President of
ICAO. Oduah stated that Aliu”s election, the first African to head the
international civil aviation body is a landmark event. She said the
victory should be dedicated to the President who nominated and supported
the country’s candidature all the way from beginning to the end.

” The election of Dr Aliu is another historic moment for Nigeria’s
aviation sector, coming shortly after the historic signing of the
Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) with the State of Israel. I want
to dedicate this victory to Mr President, who not only nominated Dr Aliu
for the position, but also gave his full support for his candidature from
beginning to the end. This victory would not have been possible without
his full interest in Nigeria’s aspiration to lead the global aviation
body. My congratulations go to him, the government and people of Nigeria
and Dr Aliu himself”, the Minister declared.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Aviation, Dr George Ossi who led
the Nigerian delegation and witnessed the historic moment inside the
Chambers, thanked all member states and Council members for their support
and election of Nigeria’s candidate, Dr Aliu. ”On behalf of His
Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Honourable Minister of Aviation, Princess
Stella Adaeze Oduah, the good people of Nigeria and indeed Africa, I wish
to thank you all for the support and election of Dr Aliu as the new
President of the Council”, he said.

He called on the Council to continue to support the new President,
stressing that ”your cooperation and collaboration with him will ensure
that the Council and indeed ICAO as an organisation continues to promote
safe, secure, efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable civil
aviation globally”.

In his acceptance speech, Aliu thanked the President, Dr Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan for nominating him for the position as well as the
”Representatives on the Council and to all member states of the Council
for electing me to the exalted office of President of Council”.

in him and ”will do everything in my power to justify your confidence”.
