A Nigerian man with the username, @classykinging on Instagram, has shared a quite surprising video of how two officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency LASEMA, treated his emergency call with levity while a robbery attack was happening in his neighborhood at Ogudu in Lagos state last night.
The gentleman visually records his call with the second agent and it can be clearly seen that as he reports his situation to the agent, the call disconnects without the agent asking for further details.
Expressing his disappointment in the agency and the country at large, the gentleman wrote,
We’re not safe in this country! Called Lagos emergency line to report a robbery case in Ogudu, first call agent said go ahead and he dropped the call, second call agent hissed and dropped the call after hearing it’s a robbery case.

According to new reports that have begun making the rounds on social media, popular Ghanaian singer, Sonnie Badu just might have been arrested in the U.K for illegally possessing a gun.
In a video footage that’s been shared, the musician is spotted in handcuffs and seated in a police vehicle with a Police Officer. The singer is seen not necessarily unnerved by the situation while in custody of the police.
The reason why the gospel singer was wielding a gun and whether the gun was registered or not, is yet to be known but his somewhat emotionless self in the custody of the police, has had people wondering if perhaps, he wasn’t really arrested or it’s just a publicity stunt or a video shoot.
Badu is one of the few African Gospel artiste to establish and grow a church in the US – he is reportedly the only African Gospel artiste to fill up a stadium in the states to capacity.

After firing Jose Mourinho for failing in terms of style and substance yesterday, Manchester United appoints Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as new caretaker manager.
, the club have acted quickly to bring in their former striker and reserve team coach.
Molde boss Solskjaer has been brought in until the end of the campaign and will be joined by first-team coach Mike Phelan, who will work alongside Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.
Solskjaer said: “Manchester United is in my heart and it’s brilliant to be coming back in this role. I’m really looking forward to working with the very talented squad we have, the staff and everyone at the club.”
United moved quickly to appoint the former striker after Mourinho’s exit and executive vice chairman Ed Woodward feels the Norwegian is a good fit.
He said: “Ole is a club legend with huge experience, both on the pitch and in coaching roles. His history at Manchester United means he lives and breathes the culture here and everyone at the club is delighted to have him and Mike Phelan back.”
Solskjaer’s first game in charge will be Saturday’s trip to former club Cardiff.
He managed the Bluebirds between January 2014 to September 2014, failing to stop them being relegated from the Premier League.
Solskjaer won just nine of his 30 games in charge, losing 16 and drawing five.
Speaking moments before Solskjaer’s appointment was made official, former United first-team coach Rene Meulensteen warned it would be a huge job for the Norwegian.
“It would be a good choice in terms of the fact that they want to bring back some of the spirit that was at United in the time of Sir Alex Ferguson, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was a big part of that,” he said on Sky Sports News.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arraigned and secured the convictions of three Internet fraudsters, popularized as “yahoo-yahoo boys”, on December 18, 2018.
The boys identified as Emeka Anyanechi Ekene, 27; Anthony Oghuma, 26, and Onokebhagbe Okouromi Franklin, 25 were brought before Justice D.Z. Senchi of a Federal Capital Territory, FCT High Court, Jabi, for various offences bordering on Internet fraud.
Ekene was arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on cheating, and for specializing in inducing his victims through a Facebook account, to part with their hard earned money. The offence contravenes Section 95 of the Penal Code, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990.
Oghuma, on his part, was arraigned on a one-count charge, bordering on obtaining by false pretence. He allegedly induced a Canadian who goes simply by the name, David, to transfer N2 million to him. The offence contravenes Section 320 (a) of the Penal Code, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990 and punishable under Section 322 of the same Law.
Franklin was arraigned on a four-count charge, bordering on obtaining by false pretence, for inducing a New York-based divorcee who goes by the name, Mary, posing as Peter Mark, a Contractor based in Malaysia. He swindled Mary of $10,000 (about N3.6million) and lured her to send him several expensive gadgets including: Apple Macbook Laptop, Apple Iphone X, Apple Iphone 7, amongst others. His offence contravenes Section 320 (a) of the Penal Code, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990 and punishable under Section 322 of the same law.
They did not waste the time of the court as they all pleaded “guilty” to the charges.
Their journey to prison followed an intelligence report received by the EFCC on November 30, 2018, concerning the fraudulent activities of some fraudsters, housed by one Alheri E. B. Sajo, at Cluster 4, River Park in Abuja.

The arrest of the trio followed a complaint lodged by one Oluwoju Ojo Abiodun, who reported that he had sent his apprentice, Michael, to a bank to deposit the sum of N500,000, only for him to receive a call, after some hours, that the boy had been kidnapped.
The complainant told the police that the caller ordered him to send the sum of N1 million for Michael to be released, with an instruction that he only needed to add N500,000 to the N500,000 he had given his apprentice to deposit at the bank.
Detectives subsequently embarked on an investigation, and when the suspects discovered that their game would soon be up, Michael suddenly emerged, with fabricated tales on his fake abduction.
Two days later, on December 13, 2018, the so-called abductors, Nafiu Ojo and Abdullahi Lawal, were tracked down and apprehended.
On interrogation, they narrated how Michael contracted them to act as kidnappers and put a call through to his boss in order to make away with the N500,000 in his possession.
Upon their confession, Michael was arrested. He made a confessional statement that he only lodged in a hotel with two girls, where he squandered his boss’ money. The leftover of N120,000, being part of the money, was recovered from him.

Alex badeh allegedly deprived the Nigerian Military of weapons and kept the money for himself…he is now dead from the insecurity he helped in establishing!
Corruption affects everyone.. including those engaging in it as he allegedly did.
I believe Alex Badeh was going to spill the beans and let the chips fall where they may, those to be implicated could not have that, so they did their worst.
How does Alex Badeh, a 4-Star General get killed like that on his way from his farm as reported. A 2-Star General, General Alkali was also murdered on his way home this year. If this can happen to them, then who is safe in this country?
If you want to be pissed about Alex Badeh's killing, you must show us where you called for justice in the case of General Alkali. Because Nigerian Soldier na Nigerian Soldier or we know you are a selective hypocrite forming activist shouting for rule of law.
If Alex Badeh, a former Chief of defense staff and 4-star General can be easily ambushed and killed just like that, then I don’t even know again. Let’s just vote God in the 2019 elections.
Alex Badeh fueled insecurity, he was collecting N580M every month from military coffers after paying salaries, insecurity has taken his soul. I’m not sure what’ll happen to his soul and not even sure if I care
Let me explain… if it were a military regime, Alex Badeh, a 4 star general, could be Head of State … so imagine one of the Living former Presidents shot dead on the street like a nobody… yeah, that’s how serious it is

“Universities have critical roles to play in nation building as they must justify their establishment through excellent, production-based research activities, innovative ideas, empowerment of youths among others,” he said.
