UNBELIEVABLE: HOUSEMAID CONCEIVED WITH ROBBERS TO ROB HER BOSS !!!
Read shocking details how a newly employed
house help planned with two other men to rob her boss at home. It’s just
disheartening. Find the story after the cut.
''Operatives at the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, SARS, Lagos, are currently investigating two robbers, allegedly invited
by a housemaid to rob her boss (names withheld) in Magodo Estate, Lagos State.
According to reports, the housemaid, simply identified as Mary,
connived with the robbers, identified as Ikong Daniel, 22, her lover, and Pius
Dennis, 20, to rob her boss a few days after she was employed.
During interrogation,
the suspects revealed that Mary took them into her boss’ bedroom, where they
stole her money, gold jewellery and other valuables.
However, trouble started when the maid escaped with the proceeds of the operation.
Unfortunately, Ikong Daniel and Pius Dennis were arrested while attempting to
escape.
Suspect’s account
Confessing to the crime, Daniel said: “It was my girlfriend, Mary that
perfected the plan to rob her madam. She recently started work there as a
housemaid and invited us to the house. I did not plan with Mary to rob her
boss. We have been dating for about three months.
“Dennis got involved because I invited him. I told him that when he closed from
work he should come to my house,
because it had been over a year since we saw each other.
“After he closed,
we went to my house in Ikorodu. When we got home, my girlfriend, Mary, called
me on phone that I should come to where she was working at Magodo.
“I did not have money. It was Dennis that loaned me money for transportation from Ikorodu to Magodo. When we got there,
she opened the gate and took us inside.
“When we got there, she said we should come inside that we have an
assignment to carry out. She took us inside to her madam’s bedroom and asked us
to hold the woman that there was money in the house.
“I do not know the exact amount or the worth the jewelleries she
collected.
“It was Mary that also brought the knife we used to frighten the woman
during the operation. I assisted her to hold the woman, while she parked her
valuables.
“Mary, who is also from Cross River State, was able to escape with the
proceeds from the operation.
“She promised to share with us whatsoever we made from the operation.”
Dennis, a commercial bike operator, confirmed Daniel’s story, adding
“we were almost out of the estate when operatives of Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC,
apprehended us and brought us to Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS.
“It was Daniel that held the madam down, while his girlfriend packed
the jewellery, money and other valuables.
“The mistake I made was not leaving when I realized that his girlfriend
had invited us to rob her boss.”

BOMBSHELL: EXCERPTS FROM 'MY WATCH' OBASANJO'S BOOK ( A MUST READ)
This
Baba Iyabo's book is going to expose lots of people and shed more light on
certain issues!. Below is an excerpt from the book...as posted on Facebook. You
guys need to read this:
"By the
Constitution, I had to inaugurate or prorogue the National Assembly on June 4,
1999. The most important officer in the National Assembly is the senate
president and that office had been zoned to the South-east. And here was where
Atiku Abubakar, my vice-president,first showed his hand and his character.
“Without seeking
my view or approval, he started planning the installation of Chuba Okadigbo as
the senate president. I did a background check on Chuba including his past as a
student and made enquiries about him in the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) under
(President Shehu) Shagari and no one would recommend him for the post of senate
president.
“I left Atiku to go on his chase while I carried out a meticulous and detailed investigation and background check on each senator from the South-east. The one that appeared most appointable was Evan Enwerem. I canvassed the senate across the board for his election and he was elected. Atiku did not expect it and he felt sore.
“He began to strategise for Enwerem to be removed and Chuba Okadigbo to be installed. His strategy worked because I was at Abuja airport to receive a visiting head of state when the news reached me that the Senate had impeached Enwerem and elected Okadigbo. I was not perturbed. I came to understand from some senators including Florence Ita-Giwa, who later became my Special Adviser/ Liaison Officer to the National Assembly, that Atiku distributed US$5,000 each to some senators to carry out the ‘coup’.
“That was the beginning of bribing the legislature to carry out a particular line of action to suit or satisfy the purpose or desire of an individual or a group. The National Assembly had tasted blood and they would continue to want more. From the day I nominated Atiku to be my vice, he set his mind not for any good, benefit or service of the country, but on furiously planning to upstage, supplant or remove me at all cost and to take my place.
“That was what I brought him for, but he was impatient and over-ambitious.He was not ready to learn and to wait. His marabout, who predicted that despite being elected as governor, he would not be sworn in as a governor, which happened, also assured him that he would take over from me in a matter of months rather than years.
“All his plans, appointments of people and his actions were towards the actualisation of his marabout’s prediction. Once I realised his intention and programme, I watched him like a hawk without giving any indication of what I knew and letting down my guard. I could not succumb to the distraction, diversion and malevolence of an ambitious but unwise deputy.
“The work in hand was more important than a confrontational relationship with my deputy, a man over whom I knew I had far more experience and outreach in all matters. To alert him of what I knew he was up to, would only lead to lying, denial, more mischievous plans and more duplicity on his part.
“He was better managed that way. What was important was not allowing myself to be surprised or outmanoeuvred by him. I must always seize the initiative and know what was going on if not in his mind, but at least in his camp. That I did very effectively.
“Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention.
“He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality.
“The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representativeswere in his pocket. He controlled twenty-eight out of thirty-six governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming.
“What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in his purse.
“When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, ‘You have nothing to say to these?’ I said that I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemitola, to play a game of squash with me.
“On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, ‘People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.’ My casual remark struck Chris and he said, ‘Sir, that was a profound statement.’ I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans.
“Atiku was confident and God was laughing. Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP.
“He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for national chairman of the party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the party would be firm and consolidated.
“That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with (Iyorchia) Ayu to Atiku.
“The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it.
“I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realise that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end.
“My assistants had moles within the Atiku group. Anything that they planned would be reported. That was the case after Ogbeh’s letter. They decided that Ogbeh should appear remorseful and come with the National Working Committee to apologise to me. It was not from their hearts, but to lure me to a ‘killing ground’.
“All pieces of information that were reported were verified because it would not come from only one informant. Timely information is a very important principle of war and also of politics. In politics, just as in war, what matters is not just your plan, but knowledge of your opponent’s plan. Knowing their plan, I had the choice of playing along with them or being firm, I chose the latter.
“I told Ogbeh that my relationship with him as national chairman and me as national leader of the party was based on mutual confidence and trust. But with his letter, my reply and what I knew of him then, I could no longer work with him in confidence and trust.
“There were only two choices left for both of us in our best interest and that of the party – he, leaves as chairman or I leave as leader of the party.
“The following Sunday, I called at his house, which I had done on several occasions in the past when there was an important party matter to discuss. This time, I asked him to give me an undated letter of resignation as the national chairman.
“I waited, he gave me but it was wrongly addressed to me rather than to the national secretary of the party as stipulated in the party’s constitution.
“Ogbeh reported to his group and it was decided by them to play on and to wait for my disgrace whenever I presented a letter of resignation not addressed to the national secretary.
“The informants did their job and I, once again, paid another visit to Ogbeh at his residence. He entertained me to a meal and drink, and changed the addressee on his letter of resignation.
“It would appear he never reported the change to his group. When I considered it opportune and appropriate, the letter was dated and presented to National Executive Committee of the party, which regrettably accepted the resignation.
“With that, whatever control Atiku claimed to have over the party began to crumble. But he did not think so and went on to boast that if I made my daughter the national chairman, it would be a matter of weeks not months before he would put her in his pocket.
“I therefore had to look for a successor chairman, who would be too big, uncompromising and inflexible to be lured and controlled by Atiku. I found such a man in Senator (Dr.) Amadu Ali, whom I had known many years earlier as a medical doctor in the army…”

COURT ORDERS SECURITY AGENTS TO CONFISCATE OBASANJO'S NEW BOOK 'MY WATCH'
AN Abuja High Court today Wednesday December 10th ordered the Inspector
General of Police, Director-General of State Security Services and Controller
General of Nigeria Customs Services to confiscate Obasanjo`s new book, 'My
Watch' from public vendors, NAN reports
Justice Valentine Ashi, gave the order after former President Olusegun
Obasanjo allegedly went ahead to publish his book titled “ My Watch’’ in spite
of a court order made on Dec. 5, restraining him from making the publication.
"I am of the view that the defendant having gone ahead to publish
the book, he should therefore show cause within 21 days of the order served on
him on why he should not be punished for contempt of court.
"The Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of State
Security Services and the Controller General of Nigeria Customs Services are hereby
directed to recover the book from sales vendors,” the Judge ordered.
He directed that the book should be kept with the registrar of the court
pending the determination of the suit.
Ashi also restrained the defendant from further printing, publishing or circulating the book “ My Watch’’ which, he said “touches on the subject matter of the suit before the court.’’
Earlier, counsel to Obasanjo, Mr Realwan Okpanachi, told the court that the book was published before the order was granted.
Okpanachi argued that the book had been in circulation since November and the order was made on Dec. 5.
The Counsel to Buruji Kashamu, Mr Alex Izinyo, SAN, submitted that the defendant`s application was a calculated attempt to deceive the court.
Izinyo argued that the defendant admitted in his motion papers that the book was published on Nov. 10 and in another paragraph, it was also stated that the book was published on Nov. 2.
“My lord, the burden of proof lay with the defendant to show the court three volumes of the book,’’ he said.
Ashi adjourned to Jan. 13 and 14, 2015, for hearing of the substantive case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the plaintiff Mr Buruji Kashamu, had earlier dragged former President Olusegun Obasanjo before the court for libel.
NAN further recalls that Kashamu alleged that the former addressed him as ex-convict in the letter he wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan titled, “Before it is too late’’.
