A 34-year-old driver, Oyewale Ojo, has been arrested
by the Oyo State Police Command for having carnal
knowledge of a two-year-old daughter of his
colleague and neighbour. The man, who lives at Ojoo area of Ibadan, was
caught hiding behind the door in the room of Mr and
Mrs Toki, parents of the girl, with the baby (name
withheld) spread on the bed and her private part
smeared with semen. The suspect is currently undergoing interrogation at
that State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID),
Iyaganku, Ibadan, where he was transferred to from
Ojoo police station in which the case was initially
reported. According to the mother of the baby, Madam Ajarat
Toki, a herbal concoction seller at Iwo Road motor
park at Ojoo, the little girl was with her father at home
on Monday, October 21, while she was doing her
business within the park. “I had to take her home
that day because of an impending rain. My husband later came back to say the girl was asleep at home,
and that he had asked a neighbour to keep an eye on
her while he went to buy the girl something to eat. “The suspect even came to me at the motor park
and was there when my husband was telling me
about our daughter. On getting home, I entered
through the back door and as I opened the door of our
room, I met my girl with her thighs open on the bed,
staring at something behind the door. On checking what might have attracted her so much, I was
shocked to find Ojo cowering behind the door. “When I asked him what he was doing in our room,
he said he wanted to give me a video disc I asked for
earlier. My daughter started vomiting and when I
went to look at her, I saw that he had ejaculated
around her private part. It was my noise that woke
our neighbours. When we got to the hospital to confirm her medical status, the report indicated that
the little girl had indeed been defiled.” The victim’s father, Tomiwa Toki,(41), a taxi driver
told reporters that he was mad at what happened
because he cherished his daughter specially, as she is
the only female among his children. “The man is not
a friend of mine, though we operate at the same
motor park at Ojoo, so I was wondering why he should enter my house. I immediately called the police
and he was arrested,” the distraught father said. It was learnt that the suspect also attempted to
escape with handcuffs at Ojoo Division and that it took
some efforts by the police and some members of the
public to arrest him as he ran with all his might. He
was immediately transferred to State CID, Iyaganku. In an interview, Ojo, who said he was married to two
wives and has four children, was incoherent when he
was asked to confirm or deny the allegation against
him. At first, he claimed to have gone to the Toki’s
house to give the man a disc which she earlier asked
for. “When I got there, l met the girl crying and I carried
her and put on the T.V for her so that she could watch
it,” he said. Ojo later confessed to have defiled the
girl and claimed that he did not know what led him to
it. He later blamed it on devil, saying “I don’t even
understand how it happened.” When asked whether he was under the influence of
drug, or marijuana, Ojo replied in the negative, saying
that he only smoked jedi (weed which is believed to
cure pile and is usually wrapped and smoked like a
cigarette). Reacting to the incident, The Acting Police Public
Relations Officer in Oyo State, Assistant
Superintendent of Police Ignatius Inyang expressed
dismay at the rate at which defilement and rape cases
keep increasing within the society, adding that the
suspect would be charged to court after the completion of investigations.

Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima on
Friday, ordered the demolition of some classrooms
which were razed by the outlawed Boko Haram sect
at the peak of the insurgency but later re-built by the
federal government for not meeting known
standard. ? The governor gave this order during the launch of the
“free exercise books” project for primary and
secondary schools in the state, which was flagged of
at both Abbaganaram Primary School and Junior
Secondary School Abbaganaram, both destroyed by
the sect at the peak of the crisis but renovated by the federal government. Shettima, who took time out to inspect the renovated
classroom blocks at the two schools, said the job was
done shabbily and failed the minimum standard,
insisting that the structure remains unacceptable to
the people of the state and the government. He said: “Honestly, those who were given the
contract for renovation of these classroom blocks by
the Federal Government did a shabby job, and we will
not allow our students to continue using such
structure, because apart from not being conducive for
learning, the structure have no ventilation.” ?”We will release money immediately to demolish
and reconstructed new classroom blocks in this
school fitted with security lights, fans and other
facilities that will make the students comfortable
when learning”. Shettima promised.? The governor said though the federal government
believed it has assisted Borno with the N100 million
spent on the renovation of the razed schools, but
“with this shabby work they have actually done
nothing.” The governor who was told by the head teacher of the
school that the renovated classroom was weak and
may fall on surrounding building wreaking havoc,
added that: “What they call assistance has only
compounded the problem of the school from the look
of things,” ?Shettima, who was impressed by the high turn out of
pupils, directed the Rector of Ramat Polytechnic
Maiduguri, Dr. Babagana Umara to supply the school
with 2000 furniture which were made by out the
institution.? The governor said with the new lease of life in the
state especially the capital Maiduguri, a lot need to be
done to make schools what it should be, insisting that
if education is gotten right and children of school-age
are made to attend, “the problem of insecurity is half
solved.” He said the state was willing to spend all that is
required to revamp the educational sector, promising
that students would be given free uniforms, textbooks
and exercise books and given a lunch. Shettima said the state government will go a step
further in Northern Borno where school attendance
was at all time low by giving parents money as
incentive to sending their wards to school.

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party was
rattled by the meeting of the leadership of the All
Progressive Congress and some of the aggrieved
governors of the Peoples Democratic Party in Sokoto,
Sokoto State on Tuesday. The APC leaders, who were in Sokoto for the
inauguration of the Sokoto State University , where the
meeting was held, were a former Head of State, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and a former Governor of
Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Members of the New PDP who were in attendance
were the governor of the state, Alhaji Aliyu
Wamakko; Governors Rabiu Kwankwanso (Kano);
Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); and Sule Lamido (Jigawa). Three of the aggrieved governors, Aliyu Babangida
(Niger), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Abdulfatah
Ahmed (Kwara), were absent at the event. However, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Mallam Aminu Tambuwal, was at the
event, where no Federal Government official was
present. Investigations by our correspondent showed that the
meeting of the APC leaders with the rebel governors
was a topic for discussion among members of the
National Working Committee of the PDP on
Wednesday. A member of the committee, who spoke with our
correspondent on condition of anonymity, said it was
almost certain that the rebel governors were out of
the ruling party. He said the NWC of the party was surprised that the
rebel governors were no longer hiding their disdain
for the party. He said though the issue was not on the agenda of the
Wednesday’s meeting, the matter was discussed
informally among the NWC members. The source said, “Though the gathering was about
opening of a university, why was the event
dominated by those who are against us? “We have been hearing that these governors are
planning to defect to the APC. Maybe that was why
they invited the leaders of the party and used the
opportunity to concretise their discussions. We are
watching.” Reacting to the issue, the Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the party, Mr. Ibrahim Jalo, told our
correspondent that the party believed that the
gathering had no political undertone. Jalo said the party believed what Wamakko said,
which was that the event was for the inauguration of
the state university. He said, “The event was a mere gathering. We also
believe that it was, according to the governor, meant
to open the state university as stated by the governor. “Apart from that, we believe that these people are
free to meet and discuss as guaranteed by the
Constitution. The Constitution guarantees freedom of
association.” However, the party said it had directed party leaders
in zones, states, local government areas and wards to
establish disciplinary committees in accordance with
its constitution. A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the action was in tandem
with the “focused determination of the national
leadership of the PDP to ensure discipline and loyalty
at all levels.”

Segeggs: STEALER ODUAH must go

Bayelsa State Government on Wednesday demolished a one-storey private building owned by Governor Seriake Dickson because it obstructed the Right-of-Way as well as intruding on the state Capital City Master Plan. .

The demolished building, which had been marked by the Capital City Development Authority on June 28, 2012, was situated along the Opolo/AIT Road, Yenagoa, the state capital.

The demolition, which began about 12.48 pm, was supervised by the Deputy Governor John Jonah; Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Lawrence Ehwrudjakpor; Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Markson Fefegha; Commissioner for State Capital City Development; and Mr. Konugha Zuwa.

Other structures affected by the demolition exercise included that of the Director General of the State Agency for the Control of AIDS, Dr. Temple Iluma.

Jonah told journalists that the location of the Governor’s house obstructed the Right-of-Way, hence there would be no compensation for him.

He said, “In line with the development control of the CCDA and urban renewal of the state, the government awarded contract for the dualisation of the road. Anyone who has built structures on the Right-of-Way should expect such buildings to be demolished.

“We have been talking about the master plan as well as some areas where we have to carry out urban renewal. For the master plan, we expect every builder to go and get clearance before he or she starts to build to see the extent that he can go outside the road.

“One of the houses we have found to have interfered with the plan of Yenagoa is this one-storey structure belonging to the Governor. On the advice of the CCDA that is concerned with development control of the state, the house was marked since last year for demolition. And you know we have awarded contract for the dualisation of the Opolo Road.”

However, some Yenagoa residents on Wednesday said the exercise was politically-motivated, notwithstanding that the governor’s house was affected.

The residents, who claimed that only a section of Dickson’s building was demolished, said the exercise was a strategy to enable the government to demolish buildings of perceived opponents without causing public outrage.

None of the complaining residents however agreed to be quoted.

In his comment, Ehwrudjakpor said the demolition had been on for some time and listed the affected areas to include Ovom, Igbogene, Imgbi, Diete_Spiff and Eradiri road expansion.

• As Awka diocese absolves APC candidate of assault
Shola Oyeyipo
A certain Mrs. Maryrose Ozoemena Nwadike, said to
be a younger sister to the candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Chris Ngige, in
the Anambra State governorship election was said to have been debarred from practicing law in Maryland,
the United States for allegedly using her bank account
to launder money for one of her elder brothers,
presumed to be Chris. Nwadike was consequently debarred after a
Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission was said to
have found her guilty for using her escrow account to
launder vast sums of money for the said brother and
for lying to investigators and the judge when
questioned about it. In the highlight of the commission’s decision, it was
stated that the “Respondent claimed that $349,975
wired into her Attorney Trust Account on August 2005
came from (unspecified) personal injury cases and
form attorney’s fees and reimbursed expenses in
the Dr Ngige Election Tribunal Case(s) in Nigeria.” The documents of the long trial and investigation,
outlined a vast array of infringements and “four year
pattern of commingling funds which the Respondent
claimed she used in paying for her personal expenses
as intentional misappropriation.”
A rather shocking part of the revelation was an alleged disbursement of a staggering sum of $349,975
for bringing a homeless American to delay Ngige’s
stay in office. All this was said to have happened at the time the APC
candidate was busy selling himself off as the messiah
opposed to looting of the state’s treasury by the
godfathers and that he was suffering persecution for
his principled stand.
In a detailed rendering of the sleaze that Ngige allegedly orchestrated in office through his sister in
the US, one of the documents obtained from the courts
in Maryland, a copy of which was obtained by
THISDAY stated thus: “Respondent produced only copies of deposit slips
and customer receipts from 21 March 2003 through 7
June 2006, monthly bank statements from 1 August
2003 through 31 May 2006, and disbursed checks
from 25 April 2003 through 22 May 2006 related to the
trust account. Respondent never produced any requested billing statements, ledger cards, or
accounting of funds that she received, maintained,
and disbursed from her trust account during this
period. “Respondent claimed to have received several
deposits, totaling $110,493, in her attorney trust
account slated to be transferred to the Ngige
campaign, but she failed to provide an accounting
reflecting these deposits. The record shows that, on
29 August 2005, she deposited a $120,000 personal check for which Judge Dugan found she offered again
no logical or coherent accounting. “Respondent also transferred $50,000 into her
attorney trust account in September 2005, funds
which she claimed belonged to Ngige. From 2002 to
2006, Respondent disbursed from the account a total
of $134,312.85 prior to making deposits necessary to
fund those disbursements. When asked by Bar Counsel to explain several specific instances of this
practice, Respondent replied to each inquiry that each
premature disbursement was due to an
“administrative glitch.” A witness, Anthony Isama, testified that three suspect
debits on Respondent’s trust account paid to
American Express, totaling $7,820, and one check
issued from the account to “MBNA,” for $35,600,
were payments for credit card purchases Respondent
made for Ngige’s wife. Meanwhile, a further $50,000 cash withdrawal Respondent made from her
account on December 4, 2002 was never explained. In addition, Respondent’s refusal even to identify
forthrightly Christopher Ngige as her brother was
evasive, at best. Respondent stated disingenuously
that Ngige merely was “somebody’s name.”
Even though Ngige was not a client of the
Respondents, she asserted an attorney-client privilege and refused to explain her relationship to him. When
Isama testified that Ngige is Respondent’s brother,
Judge Dugan asked Respondent why she had engaged in
such “subterfuge.” Respondent kept mute.
However, there are speculations that Ngige might be
extradited to the US to answer questions arising from
the case. Meanwhile, the Awka Catholic Diocese, Anambra State
has denied that Ngige slapped one of the Revered
fathers in the diocese during the funeral ceremony of
the mother of Bishop Paulinus Ezeokafor, the
dioceses’ main Bishop of Awka. The event which
allegedly took place at Nanka, Orumba North council area of the state, the diocese said was a tissue of lies. The chancellor of the Catholic Diocese, Rev, Dr. Chudi
Akaenyi, said at a press conference held at the
conference hall of the Saint Patrick’s Catholic church
in Awka that during the burial of the Bishop’s
mother at Nanka on October 24, a lot of people were
there and that people of Ngige’s stature were arranged at the V.I.P section at the reception in the
Bishop’s compound. He said that a Reverend father, Evaristus Ezekwonna
was in charge of security and order and was at the
gate directing vehicles and or those allowed to go in.
When Ngige came with his retinue of aides and police
security, he was told that he would not go in with all
of them but a few to which he agreed. Long after Ngige had gone in, three policemen
standing at the gate, he explained, became unruly and
insisted they would go in to their principal they
escorted. Ngige, he said was called to come and
identify if they were among his other aides and
security personal asked to stay behind. “He came and said they were not with him and went
back to the VIP section. What we heard later was that
Ngige slapped a Reverend father. There is no iota of
truth in this whole thing and not even the rude
policemen slapped our Reverend father,” he said
