UNILAG FEMALE STUDENT DIES AFTER NIGHT OUT WITH A MAN

A Chemistry Education student, of the University of Lagos ,identified simply as Tope, slumped and died at the institution’s medical centre.

Sources in UNILAG said the student, who was squatting in the hostel, died shortly after returning from an outing with a man.

They added that Tope could have been saved if she was promptly attended to at the centre.

One of them said, “Tope was squatting here. She went to a club and returned around midnight on Thursday. It was not long afterwards that she started gasping. We rushed her to the UNILAG Medical Centre, but they blamed the student who allowed her to squat in her room. Tope eventually died, while the other student is being threatened with eviction.’’

However, the management of the university said no student died at the centre. A statement from the school’s Deputy Registrar, Information Unit, Mr. Toyin Adebule, said Tope died before she was brought to the centre.

“I wish to state that the incident did not happen at the centre. Also, there is no report from the hall to the Dean of Students Affairs on the incident. Therefore, no student has been ejected from the hall,” the statement read in part.

FACEBOOK KILLERS: THE SUSPECTS WHO MURDERED CYNTHIA OSOKOGU SENTENCED TO DEATH !

Four years ago, Cynthia Osokogu, businesswoman and mother of one, was killed in case that became known as the trial of the “Facebook killers". Four years ago,That year, Dan Okoro, then Assistant Commissioner of Police in charge of Festac Area Command of the Nigeria Police,( now the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Frauds Unit, Lagos) took on the case, that took him undercover beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Coming after suspects who murdered Cynthia Osukogu; Okwumo Nwabufor and Olisaeloka Ezike – were sentenced to death, while two alleged accomplices – Orji Osita and Ezike Nonso, were acquitted by Justice Olabisi Akinlade, Dan Okoro, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Special Frauds Unit, Lagos, spoke with Punch, beaming with pride as he reminisced on some of the details of the case, which he said he had hitherto never spoken about publicly.


According to Okoro, he said; “I faced a lot of pressure while investigating the case. The pressure came from different persons I would not like to mention but we were not deterred.
“We had to go through a lot of risks to ensure the investigation made a headway. I remember the day we moved into the house of the number one suspect (Nwabufor) at 3am. He lived on the top floor.
“We looked everywhere and there was no ladder. I had to use my men to form a ladder and climbed upstairs and burst into his room. When you burst into the room of a killer, you are not sure of how prepared he would be. But it was a risk we had to take. He might have been armed, and finished everybody as soon as we burst into his house.
“When he left his room and moved into the ceiling in an attempt to escape, we again took the risk of going after him in the ceiling to get him down.”

Okoro was reportedly offered N15m to sweep the case under the carpet by one of the felons while he was investigating the case.

At a point in the investigation, Okoro said he had to go undercover to Benin Republic where one of the men arrested in the case was studying.
“I went to American International University in Benin Republic because I was looking for a way to connect one of the killers. I got him and brought him back to Nigeria. That was what gave me a pointer to the main killer.”
Okoro said his investigation took him to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Anambra State, where one of the convicts was a 400-Level Accounting student at the time.

The police officer said he tricked one of the men tried on the case (Nonso, acquitted), and made him come from Port Harcourt to Lagos on his own volition, without knowing he had been speaking with a detective. Nonso was in possession of the victim’s phone at the time. He was joined in the case, for selling items taken from the victim.

He said; “It was all about playing with his psyche. I tricked him in such a way that he could not have imagined he was coming to meet a detective.
“I knew that justice must be done according to the law. Anybody who spills another’s blood must not go unpunished. Cynthia was just an innocent girl that was tricked to Lagos and her life was snuffled by men she did not recognise as blood suckers.”

Okoro, whose detective work on the case was celebrated within and outside the country, culminating in a national honour by then President Goodluck Jonathan, said the case is an evidence of the Nigeria Police’s sound work in investigations..

POLICE RESCUES WOMAN WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON 3RD MAINLAND BRIDGE TODAY!

The Lagos State Police Command has rescued a woman, Taiwo Titilayo Momoh, who attempted to jump into the Lagoon from 3rd Mainland Bridge today.

This is coming few days after a medical doctor, Allwell Orji jumped into the Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni told newsmen at the Lagos Government Secretariat, Alausa, Lagos,  on Friday that Momoh was in a taxi heading towards Oworonshoki on Third Mainland Bridge when she told the taxi driver to stop on the bridge. According to Owoseni, the woman was about to jump into the water when a police patrol team on a routine patrol on the Third Mainland Bridge sighted her and rushed to save her before she jumped into the Lagoon.

“She attempted suicide by attempting to jump into the Lagoon around Oworonshoki inward Mainland on Third Mainland Bridge. Unfortunately for her, she was rescued. The woman was in a taxi and alighted on the bridge and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the Lagoon.
The police patrol team sighted her and rushed to rescue her before she jumped into the Lagoon,” he said.


 The commissioner said from his interaction with the woman, she had depression as a result of unpaid loans, adding that “she is still insisting that she wants to end her life.”

Owoseni noted that committing suicide was an offence under the law but that the police would try to talk the woman out of committing suicide.

He said the woman would be taken through post-trauma programme to ensure that she had hope and not commit suicide, adding that the police would do a medical evaluation  on her to ascertain her condition.

Owoseni lamented the rate at which people commit suicide in the country, describing it as worrisome, adding that the police had begun patrol of bridges across the state to forestall other cases of suicide.

He added that it was now an offence for individuals to walk on bridges in the state and that no vehicle would be allowed to stop on any bridge in the state henceforth in order to prevent suicide incidences.

“Right now, the woman is still in trauma and she still insists that she wants to end her life,” he said.
