PHOTO:POLICE CORPORAL SHOOTS HIS SUPERIOR TO DEATH IN BAUCH

A lawlessness police Corporal, in Bauchi state shot dead his superior and former ADC to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, Superintendent of Police, Chris Eza (pictured above), yesterday February 26th in Bauchi.

According to family sources, Chris Eza had gone out to get food at an eatery along Ahmadu Bello way around 9pm when he saw some police officers on patrol. On observation, he found out that one of them, the suspect, was not properly dressed and immediately cautioned him. However, the Corporal got angry and began to grumble for being told to dress properly. 

An angry Chris felt his action was unacceptable and warned the officer that he was going to disarm him if he didn't take care. Instead of apologizing, the junior officer cocked his gun and threatened to shoot his boss.

Calling his bluff, Eza moved towards the officer, who immediately opened fire. Other police officers around rushed Chris to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) Bauchi where he was declared dead on arrival. Until his death, he was the MOPOL 11 Commander.

The officer has since been arrested and investigations into the motive for the killing are ongoing.

NIGERIAN ENTERTAINERS LEAVES FAKE LIFES....JAYWON

Jaywon, while speaking recently to hip hop world magazine, said the Nigerian entertainment industry is full of fake people. Read more after the cut...

The truth of the matter is the industry is fake; everyone trying to say the next guy is fake. But we do stuffs in the industry that is extravagantly unnecessary. I have had instances when someone calls me up for a collabo, and I’m not available or booked for something else, then i apologise and turn it down, the next thing you would hear is, “Jaywon is fake, he cannot even support his fellow colleagues”. You see someone buy a car, post a picture of the 2015 model, when you see him on the street; he’s driving the 2009 model, why?? I have seen a lot of artistes bad mouth other people because they are trying to promote themselves but the truth is its no news anymore and it is wrong. As a person I try to do what is right by my colleagues as well as my family. I would rather provide for my family than go and pop champagne at clubs and am not saying popping bottles is wrong o, it is just how I set my priorities as an individual. See, if you have listened to M.I featuring 2face and Sultan, ”Human Being” that song sums up the industry we are in.

POLICE ARREST SON OF CHIEF SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE FOR KIDNAPPING IN LAGOS

Mr. Nriezedi Afam , 41,son of a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP)  has been arrested by the operatives of  Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos State Police Command, for kidnapping two Managing Directors of fuel filling stations.

The suspect said: “Yes, my father would not be happy with me today if he was alive to see me in police custody. He was a good policeman. He repeatedly warned me never to covet what doesn’t belong to me. I wished I had listened to him! Yes, I’ve been arrested twice and charged to court.
The cases we struck out when the people pressing charges stopped coming to court. I’ll never go back to crime again if I’m pardoned this time.” Afam told journalists that he was arrested for carrying out a daring operation that led to the kidnapping of two Managing Directors of two fuel filling stations. The Police said the stations are Dapsom Petrol and Kings Petroleum.

He said: “I’m like the information officer. I was the person who brought information about the kidnap of the Director of Dapsom Petroleum at Ejigbo, Lagos. I took the gang in our operational Sienna car and pointed out both Directors of Dapsom Petroleum and Kings Petroleum.”

Police said: “In their first operation, the gang succeeded in collecting a ransom of N4 million from Dapsom Petroleum. In their second operation, the gang demanded for N20 million for the release of Mr. Fashola who is the Director of Kings Petroleum. Operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), stormed the kidnappers’ den, located at 18 Adeniyi Ishola Street, off Bola road, Isheri- Osun, on December 17, 2014 and arrested them.” The Officer in Charge of SARS (OC), a Superintendent of Police (SP), Mr. Abba Kyari, led a team of policemen to the kidnappers’ den and rescued Fashola. Fashola was found chained in the toilet. He was kidnapped on November 13, 2014 and rescued on November 17, 2014.

Afam said: “The kidnapping of one of the Directors was my first time in kidnapping. The gang gave me only N7, 000 for the operation. In the first successful operation, I drove the gang with my car, through Governor’s Road, Ikotun. It was there the gang members called the family of the victim for negotiation.” He claimed that he was initiated in a beer parlour by one IK who gave him N20, 000 as a gift. IK later took him to meet other members of the gang. After a week of dining and winning with the gang, they asked if he knew any rich man. Afam recalled: “I told them I knew two people that were petroleum dealers. I knew them because I usually bought fuel from their stations and they have offices at their filling stations.

Police later arrested me at the Agric area of Ikorodu because I gave information to kidnappers.” 
Narrating how he engineered Fashola’s kidnap, Afam said: “Kings was kidnapped on his way home to the estate where he lives. I didn’t go with the gang. It was in the morning when police came to remove Kings’ white Range Rover that I knew he had been kidnapped. I knew it was the gang that did the job. I called I.K to tell him I was aware the gang had kidnapped Kings, but his number did not go. I didn’t know where I.K and the rest were. I was later arrested. ” 
Afam confessed that he squandered most of the money made from his crimes on women and drinks.
