MEN WITH THEIR EVILS: MAN'S HEAD FOUND IN EBUTE META AND HIS BODY IN SURULERE !!!
The Police in
Lagos State have recovered the mutilated remains of a man, identified only as
Christmas, which were dumped at two different areas of the state; the victim’s
head was found at Olokodana junction in the Ebute Meta East, while his body was
recovered in Alaka, Surulere, on Wednesday!
It was gathered
that two factions of hoodlums in Ebute Meta – Oto and Olokodana gangs – had
since 2010, engaged one another in supremacy battle, which had allegedly
claimed no fewer than 20 lives. On Friday, January 9, the killing of one Waheed
Yusuf (aka Skippo) said to be the leader of the Olokodana gang. He was
allegedly killed in his house on Fagbayimu Street, Olokodana, Old Apapa Road,
by some unknown gunmen.
A resident in the
area, Tunde Adeniyi, said, Christmas, who used to belong to the Olokodana gang,
had abandoned the gang and was planning to leave the neighbourhood on Wednesday
before he was killed.
He said, “I saw
him packing his luggage on Tuesday. He said he was no longer interested in the
clashes, adding that most of the top men in his (Olokodana) group were dead.
“He even said the
motive of the rivalry was baseless, so he would rather quit and leave the
community. I was surprised when I saw his head this morning. His body was later
found in Surulere by the police.”
An eyewitness,
who gave his name simply as Kola, said ; “SARS came here late evening on Monday
and raided everywhere. They recovered guns and arrested some hoodlums,
including a lady,” he said.
The Lagos State
Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the recovery of the head in
Ebute Meta. He, however, said he had not been briefed on the recovery of the
victim’s body.
He said, “A
bodiless head belonging to a yet-to-be-identified male was recovered at
Olokodana junction, Ebute Meta, by policemen from the Iponri Division acting on a tip-off.
“The head has
been deposited at the Yaba General Hospital morgue, while investigations aimed
at unravelling and apprehending the characters behind the act have been
activated.
“Members of the
public are enjoined to avail us information that will aid diligent
investigation. I have not got any information on the recovery of his body in
Surulere.”

HEARTBREAKING: 3700 HOME DESTROYED IN BAGA AS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL RELEASE SATELLITE IMAGE !!!
Amnesty International Nigeria researcher, Daniel Eyre, says, about 3,700 homes in two villages, Baga and Doron Baga were destroyed by the militants and that Boko Haram attacks, carried out in Baga last week is so far the deadliest. Continue...
“The Satellite
images released by Amnesty International on Wednesday provides indisputable and shocking
evidence of the scale of last week’s attack on the towns of Baga and Doron Baga
by Boko Haram militants. Before and after images of two neighbouring towns,
Baga (160 kilometres from Maiduguri) and Doron Baga (also known as Doro Gowon,
2.5 km from Baga), taken on 2 and 7 January show the devastating effect of the
attacks which left over 3,700 structures damaged or completely destroyed. Other
nearby towns and villages were also attacked over this period.
These detailed
images show devastation of catastrophic proportions in two towns, one of which
was almost wiped off the map in the space of four days. Of all Boko Haram
assaults analyzed by Amnesty International, this is the largest and most
destructive yet. It represents a deliberate attack on civilians whose homes,
clinics and schools are now burnt out ruins. The analysis shows just two of the
many towns and villages that fell victim to a series of Boko Haram attacks
which began on 3 January 2015.
In Baga, a densely populated town less than
two square kilometres in size, approximately 620 structures were damaged or
completely destroyed by fire. In Doron Baga over 3,100 structures were damaged
or destroyed by fire affecting most of the four square kilometre town. Many of
the wooden fishing boats along the shoreline, visible in the images taken on
the 2 January, are no longer present in the 7 January images tallying with eye
witnesses’ testimony that desperate residents fled by boat across Lake Chad.
Thousands of people have fled the violence across the border to Chad and to
other parts of Nigeria including Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. These
people are adding to the hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people
and refugees, who have already stretched the capacity of host communities and
government authorities" the report said
The report
included accounts of some villagers who gave accounts about the attack. One man
who was interviewed said he saw a woman who was in labor attacked and killed
with her unborn child ripped from her stomach
"Half of the
baby boy is out and she died like this"the man said
Another said
“They killed so many people. I saw maybe around 100 killed at that time in
Baga. I ran to the bush. As we were running, they were shooting and killing.”he
said
Amnesty
International called on the Nigerian government to take all possible legal
steps to restore security in the north-east and ensure protections of
civilians.
“Up until now,
the isolation of the Baga combined with the fact that Boko Haram remains in
control of the area has meant that it has been very difficult to verify what
happened there. Residents have not been able to return to bury the dead, let
alone count their number. But through these satellite images combined with
graphic testimonies a picture of what is likely to be Boko Haram’s deadliest
attack ever is becoming clearer. This week, Nigeria’s Director of Defence
Information stated that the number of people killed in Baga including Boko
Haram fighters “has so far not exceeded about 150. These images, together
with the stories of those who survived the attack, suggest that the final death
toll could be much higher than this figure.” the report says

I JOINED THE ROBBERY GANG TO RAISE ENOUGH MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS...SUSPECT
Chukwuemeka Obikachi, is a member of 4-man gang of armed
robbers that has their hideout at Kuramo, Lekki, Lagos State.
He was arrested on the 6th December 2014,by a team of
policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos State
Command. The police are already on the trail of the fleeing gang members.
Obikachi said: “God wanted police to arrest me so that I
would become a changed person. The man who took me out for robbery told me to
go with him so that I could raise enough money for Christmas celebration.”
The Police recovered a snatched Highlander Jeep from
the gang belonging to one Ismaila.
A police source said: “The owner of the Jeep, Mr.
Ismaila, was attacked when he went to visit to someone at Lekki.
He was waiting for the gate to be opened, when the gang suddenly
attacked. He was even stripped of his clothes. The gang members decided to take
him to an unknown destination. As they approached Chevron Gate, Mr.
Ismaila struggled and pushed the car gear to a stop. He started shouting.
Apparently scared, other members quickly fled, but Obikachi was not lucky.
Police at Chevron Gate arrested him. Police searched him and recovered a
barrette pistol with three live cartridges.”
The suspect, who said he used to ‘hustle’ to sell jeans
at Yaba Market, explained that one of his customers, Henry, initiated him into
the gang.
His words: “Mr. Henry is my customer. After buying
clothes from me that day, he took me to a place and bought me drinks. He took
me to Small Kuramo in Jakande area of Lekki. We were still in the beer parlour
when two other men came to join us. They are Tunde and Chinedu. Mr. Henry said
they were his colleagues. We were there till 7-8pm. It was Tunde who said we
should go and meet Mr. Ismaila that he owed him some money.”
When they got to Ismaila’s house, he was standing at the
gate. The gang stealthily approached and attacked him.
Tunde grabbed him by the trouser and collected his car
key. He handed the key to Chinedu.
“I entered the front seat of the Jeep. On our way, we got
to a certain place where the victim was well known. He suddenly held
the steering, put the car gear to a stop and started shouting. He held me was
he was shouting. Henry and others started running. People living
around the area rushed out. They started beating me and took me to Chevron
Police Post,” recounted Obikachi.
Speaking on the gun found on him, Obikachi said it
belonged to Henry. He said Henry dropped it as he made good his escape.
He however added: “We used two guns. The guns were
provided by Tunde. During the operation, Henry and Tunde used to handle the
guns. I have worked with the gang only twice. The first was also at Ajah area.
We snatched a car, but the owner recovered it from where we parked it. It was a
Honda Accord and it has inbuilt security. The second operation is that one that
landed me in police trouble.”
