UNBELIEVABLE: MAN STILT LOVER'S THROAT FOR TURNING DOWN MARRIAGE PROPOSAL!!!
A man identified as Sikiru
Henry,has been arrested for attempted to
slit his lover’s throat! Sikiru was alleged to have taken his lover to an
uncompleted building located at Alhaja Wosilat Street, Baruwa area , Lagos state
on Wednesday, to carry out the evil deed but was caught.
Henry was said to have pinned
the struggling lady down and started slitting her throat, when some nearby
residents heard her faint cry and dashed into the building. They rescued her.
A witness, Mr. Oluwole
Olalekan who was sitting in front of his house when the strangled cry of Ajayi
said: “The boy was using the sharp razor to cut the lady's neck and also trying
to strangle her, so that she would not cry out for help. It was exactly
some minute to eleven and there was no light. I was sitting in front of my
house to receive fresh breeze before going to bed when I heard a voice that
shouted "Egba mi o." (Help me). I decided to trace the voice. On
getting to the uncompleted shop, I beamed my torchlight, only to found the boy
sitting on the lady’s chest, trying to strangle her.
"I shouted thief! The man dashed off! I started shouting thief! Thief! I ran after him. Neighbours joined me in chasing him. Luckily, we were able to nab him. We handed him over to the police. There were deep cuts on three different areas on the lady’s neck. We took her to the nearby hospital."

The suspect, whose T shirt
was covered with blood, told our correspondent that the victim was his lover
and that he saw her off to the street but could not say what prompted him to
harm her.
His words:" Bola is my girlfriend. She came to me for money to plait her hair which I gave her N3000 to do and on my way to see her off, I didn't know what came over me but I only realized I used the razor in my pocket which I used to cut my nail earlier to cut her neck. She had offended me earlier. I wanted to kill her and kill myself."

It was also gathered that
policemen had retrieved the razor blade used by the suspect from the scene,
while the victim’s blood was all over the place.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), in Charge of Ipaja Police Station, Mr. Ajewole Adebayo, said that the suspect has been arrested alongside some boys residing in the same place and investigations are on top gear to unravel the truth.
Adebayo commended the community for their efforts in ensuring that the suspect did not escape, assuring them that the case would soon be transferred to the higher authority before taking to court. He urged community to intensify efforts to support police.

NIGERIAN JUSTICE: APPEAL COURT FREES ERASTUS AKINGBOLA OF N47.5 BILLION THEFT
That
is Nigerian Justice for us all. A Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has quashed
the 22-count charge brought against the former Managing Director of
Intercontinental Bank Plc, Dr. Erastus Akingbola by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) on alleged that Akingbola stole N47.5 billion
belonging to the bank. The report below...
Ruling on
Akingbola’s application on jurisdiction, the court presided over by Justice
Amina Augie held that the High Court of Lagos State presided over by Justice
Lateef Lawal-Akapo lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit filed against him
by the commission
Justice Augie said it amounted to miscarriage of
justice for the lower court to have dismissed Akingbola’s application
challenging its jurisdiction on the matter.
“The appeal is meritorious and allowed,” she declared.
“I am convinced that the lower court refused to align
itself with the decision of this court in Nwosu’s case,” she further held.
Akingbola and his co-defendant, Bayo Dada, had filed two
separate applications challenging the jurisdiction of the court to hear the
22-count charge filed against them by the EFCC.
But, the lower court, in its ruling on 2 May, 2014
dismissed their applications.
Justice Lawal-Akapo had then held that the charges
preferred against the defendants were within its competence and jurisdiction to
determine.
Dissatisfied with the ruling of the high court, Akingbola
and Dada approached the Appeal Court, praying that the trial court’s decision
be set aside.
Delievering the judgement, Justice Augie declared that
the lower court fell into serious error by not abiding by the decision on
Nwosu’s case adding, “it is most unfair and is an injustice”.
According to her, the lower court has no option than to
follow the decision of the higher court on Nwosu’s case.
“The point must be made that the decision of this court
in Nwosu’s case was based on proof of evidence.”
The judge noted that all the charges against the
defendants arose out of capital market transactions.
“Only federal high court is conferred with the exclusive
jurisdiction to try cases of capital market transaction,” she stressed.
The appellate court held that the lower court owes it a
duty to compare and contrast the documents cited by parties.
“It is its duty to examine materials brought before him.
It is the role of the judge to do justice in adjudicating all the cases brought
before him.
“One sided justice would amount to injustice and
favouring one side.
“The proof of evidence was there but the trial judge at
the lower court accused the defendants of not furnishing him with the
documents.
“He has failed in his duty.”
Justice Augie further held that the appeal filed by the
defendants has nothing to do with evidence, noting that the lower court failed
to go through argument canvassed before it assumed jurisdiction on the matter.
She emphasised that the issue of jurisdiction should not
have been toyed with by the lower court.
“I agree with the appellant that the lower court ought to
have gone through the proof of evidence.
“There is no way a charge of stealing can stand without
going through the proof of evidence,” she declared.
