EXPOSED:HOW BUSINESSMAN WAS FRAMED-UP AFTER CATCHING A TOP POLICE OFFICER ON BED WITH HIS WIFE

                                                                             

CSP Celestine Umeh

Mr Clement Etim, a businessman, on Wednesday said that his life and those of two others were in danger.

Etim, who spoke from his hiding, alleged that some Policemen were seriously hunting for him, his cousin, Oko Edet and his 15-year-old houseboy, Christopher Bassey.

Chatting with our reporter, he said: “I shouldn’t be speaking with you at all. I can’t say much for now, but my lawyer, Effiong knows everything about this matter. My life and those of my cousin and house help are in danger. Policemen are looking for us. Right now, I don’t even have a place to stay, let alone to sleep.”

According to SaharaReporters who uncovered how a Chief Superintendent of Police currently serving with the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Mr Celestine Umeh, arrested, detained and framed-up a businessman, Mr Clement Asuquo Etim, and two others on trumped-up charges after he was caught in bed with the wife of Mr Etim in Uyo, the state capital.

It was gathered that for long, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Celestine Umeh, had been having a torrid affair with Etim’s wife, Lawrentia, a mother of two.

Etim was not aware of the affair until neighbours whispered into his ears. On April 27, Etim deliberately returned home, when he was not supposed to, and caught his wife in bed with Umeh.
Etim reportedly said: “Whenever I travel to Calabar where I do my business, I usually receive reports that my wife invites her lover, CSP Umeh, to our matrimonial home to spend the night. They were having sexual affair in my house not minding the presence of my home help, a boy of 15 years old. On getting home in the evening last Monday, I caught the CSP with my wife in bed.”

According to the businessman, he and his cousin, Edet, saw the lovers in his bed. When Umeh saw the men, he allegedly ran out, followed by Lawrentia. It was further mentioned that in Umeh’s desperation to escape from the embarrassing situation, he bolted, leaving his Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

Etim said that he was shocked when the CSP, along with Lawrentia, returned with policemen and arrested him, Edet and Bassey. The three suspects were marched to the Akwa Ibom State Police Command.
When they got to the command, they were alleged of assaulting a senior police officer and stealing his phones. Etim further alleged that he was subsequently tortured by the Officer-in-Charge of General Investigation, a Superintendent of Police (SP) identified as Ekene Nwosu and other policemen.

Etim was detained from April 27 to 30th before he was granted bail. But rather than go home, he went in search of treatment because he was bleeding from the ear, allegedly caused by torture.

When he eventually got to his house after being discharge from hospital, he found it empty of all furniture. He was briefed by neighbours that his wife with some men came to clear the apartment.
A human right lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, who had taken up the battle on behalf of Etim and others in search of justice, told our reporter that since the police couldn’t locate Etim, who went for treatment and was hospitalised, they dragged Edet and Bassey to court.

One of the charges states: “That you Clement Asuquo Etim, Patrick Okon Edet, and Christopher Bassey Effiong, on the 27th day of April, 2020 at Aba-ukpo Estate, in the Uyo Magisterial District, unlawfully assaulted one Celestine Umeh, a Chief Superintendent of Police, by smashing a bottle on his head which caused him harm. Thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 364 of the Criminal Code, Cap.38. Vol.2, of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, 2000.”

Effiong said: “The Police are still trying to re-arrest Etim. We understood that his phone is being tracked. When the matter was taken to court, Etim was in hospital, he was not among the suspects that were arraigned. It was his cousin and househelp that were arraigned. His life is still in danger. Right now as I’m speaking with you, he doesn’t have a place to sleep. As at yesterday (Tuesday), Police Complaint Unit said the matter was being investigated, but we have not been contacted.”

Etim further told the reporter: “My life is important to me. I don’t want to die, that’s why I’m in hiding. I want government to get involved in this matter and carry out an exhaustive investigation supported by my lawyer. It’s only investigation that will make them find out the truth. The matter had not been investigated at all. The Policemen arrested my 15-year-old houseboy and forced to claim 18 years, I don’t know why.”

Speaking with SaharaReporters over the matter,human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, whose law firm is representing Etim, his cousin and home help, said that the conduct of CSP Umeh, SP Ekene and other police officers at the Akwa Ibom State Command involved in the case was reprehensible and deserves immediate disciplinary action from the Inspector-General of Police and Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State.

He said, “I am alarmed by what these police officers ha
ve done to this man, his cousin and home help. It is reprehensible, unprofessional and damaging to the image of the Nigeria Police Force. This is one of the most repulsive cases of abuse of the police institution. Where lies the hope for Nigeria if this kind of atrocious and scandalous action is allowed to go unpunished?

“It is more troubling that the police resorted to filing a criminal charge against them in their desperation to cover-up their illegal and abominable conduct. We cannot allow this to go unpunished.”

Effiong has vowed to pursue the case to its logical conclusion until justice was done to Etim, his cousin and home help.

The Akwa Ibom Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nnudam Fredrick, when contacted, claimed not to be aware of the matter but promised to confirm if the state had such matter.

WHAT'S THE BEEF BETWEEN TOYIN ABRAHAM AND ENIOLA BADMUS?

                                                                                

Currently,both star actresses are currently promoting their movies , it seems the movies have the same theme and thrust. Abraham’s movie is titled "The Ghost and the Tout " while, Badmus’ movie is titled "Ghetto Bred".
Many felt that Badmus wasn’t pleased that Abraham was portraying herself as a ‘ghetto bred,’ hence her social media updates. She had written on Instagram, “There is no point sugar coating or stealing title…ema lo wa o (don’t come).” Shortly before that, she had written, “There can only be one ghetto bred produced by Eniola Badmus.”

However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, Badmus denied that there was any rift between her and Abraham. She said, “There is zero beef between me and Toyin. We are very good friends. People always read different meanings to things but it’s not always as it seems. All I am doing right now is to promote my movie and I have gotten a lot of love from colleagues.”

Explaining the concept behind the movie, Eniola said, “I play the role of a dramatic taxi driver with the soul of a tomboy who lives in a ghetto with her educated elder brother. My character is an energetic and aggressive lady that never thought of having a boyfriend but later fell in love. The movie, which cost millions of naira, features top comedians and Nollywood actors.”

STORY OF:TEMITOPE AYONI OLAIYA DRUG BARONESS THAT PLEADS GUILTY TO DRUG IN USA

                                                                         

 

A Nigerian woman pleaded guilty today to leading a conspiracy to import more than five kilograms of cocaine, as well as to her role in a separate bank fraud scheme, and to making false statements relating to fraudulent claims submitted to Medicaid for reimbursement.

“Tammy Olaiya is a ‘triple threat’ of criminality – drug trafficker, a fraudster, and a liar,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Olaiya, a Nigerian immigrant who has spent the last two decades with the privilege of living in the United States as lawful permanent resident, clearly has zero respect for American laws pertaining to our borders, controlled substances, our financial system, or our health care system.”

According to court documents, Temitope Ayoni Olaiya, aka “Tammy”, 40, a Nigerian national residing in Hyattsville, Maryland, recruited men from the greater Washington, D.C. area to act as drug courier; i.e., to travel to foreign countries to obtain drugs to bring back into the United States.  Olaiya opened bank accounts in the couriers’ names, assisted them in obtaining passports and visas, and booked their travel arrangements. The couriers that Olaiya recruited traveled primarily to São Paulo, Brazil, where they picked up kilogram quantities of cocaine hidden in the lining of soft-sided briefcases or attaché cases. Altogether, law enforcement seized nearly seven kilograms of cocaine at three different U.S. airports from three separate couriers recruited by Olaiya.

“Every single Medicaid dollar is precious and must be carefully guarded,” said Maureen R. Dixon, Special Agent in Charge for the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “Accordingly we will continue working with all our law enforcement partners to preserve these vital funds.”

In addition to the cocaine importation scheme, Olaiya also submitted falsified and fraudulent claims to the D.C. Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF), a health care benefit program funded by Medicaid. Olaiya worked as a personal care aide for various home health agencies in the Washington D.C. area, and in order to receive payment for services rendered, Olaiya was required to submit timesheets signed by her clients documenting the services rendered. Instead of submitting time sheets for time actually worked providing health care services, Olaiya recruited Medicaid recipients to act as her “patients” and to sign her falsified timesheets in return for a small amount of money as a kickback. On at least two occasions, Olaiya billed DHCF for home health services she claimed to have provided while she was out of the country.

Separate and apart from the cocaine importation and the home health services scheme, Olaiya also used her African goods business in Maryland to carry out a bank fraud. Olaiya used accounts with payment platforms Square and Stripe to make fraudulent charges on stolen credit card numbers. Between June and December 2017, Olaiya submitted, or caused to be submitted, $381,500 in fraudulent credit card charges to the Stripe account. Thereafter, Olaiya switched over to Square, and in the course of about two months, racked up more than $100,000 in fraudulent charges. When Square informed Olaiya that the true account holder had challenged the transaction, Olaiya created handwritten, falsified invoices documenting items purportedly purchased by the account holder, and provided the fake invoices to Square.

Olaiya pleaded guilty to conspiracy to import five kilograms or more of cocaine, bank fraud, and making false statements relating to health care matters. She faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison for the cocaine importation charge when sentenced on Feb. 28, 2020. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

NIGERIAN COUPLE JAILED 15 YEARS FOR CHILD ABUSE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT IN UK

                                                                    

A Nigerian couple living in Rochdale, U.K., has been jailed for a string of child abuse and sexual assault.

Shola Ogundare, a 49-year-old male, has been jailed for 15 years after appearing at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on Friday, May 15, whilst Olwafunmilayo Emmanuel, 35, has been jailed for 4 years for her role in the crimes.

In July 2018, police were made aware that a young girl had reported being abused by Shola Ogundare, 49, and Olwafunmilayo Emmanuel, 35.

An investigation was launched and officers established that the girl had been physically and sexually abused by the man named Ogundare and physically abused by Olwafunmilayo Emmanuel. Enquiries also established that a young boy had been physically abused by Ogundare and Emmanuel.

Ogundare and Emmanuel were arrested and taken into police custody for questioning. They were subsequently charged and pleaded not guilty.

Following a one-week trial, a jury found Ogundare guilty of attempted rape of a child, sexual assault by penetration of a child, sexual assault by touching of a child, causing a child to watch a sexual act, cruelty to a person under 16 and four counts of assault.

Ogundare was sentenced at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court to 15 years in prison, while Emmanuel was found guilty of four counts of cruelty to a person under 16, and sentenced to four years in prison.

Detective Constable Russell Clarke, of GMP’s Rochdale district, said: “First and foremost I would like to commend the victims for their strength in seeking help and disclosing what had happened to them. Both children have demonstrated incredible courage throughout our investigation and this trial, especially considering their age.

“Abuse of this kind often has a long-lasting impact on victims but I sincerely hope that they can move forward with their lives – free from the fear of being abused.

“Ogundare subjected these children to a prolonged campaign of abuse. Under the pretence of punishment, he sexually abused one of the victims to satisfy his most repulsive desires. Throughout this investigation, he has shown no remorse and the things he has said to try to evade justice have been beyond comprehension.

“Emmanuel also subjected the children to physical abuse and has also shown no remorse. She has repeatedly defended Ogundare and tried to discredit the victims.

“I hope today’s result sends a clear message to members of the public and offenders alike that police officers will do everything in their power to see justice done.”

Sky News referred to the threaded hairstyle as a "spiky coronavirus haircut" because it resembles the shape of the Coronavirus.

 The threaded hairstyle is a style that has been popular among African women for decades. Mo Abudu said;"As early as the 15th century, different tribes used hair to show one’s social hierarchy. Members of royalty wore elaborate hairstyles as a symbol of their stature."

"other thing to note is that Africa is rich with ancient hair traditions and styles. African threading dated as far back as the late 15th century and is a cherished tradition amongst women in parts of Nigeria, Ghana, and the entire Sub Saharan Africa."
