There was pandemonium and panic on Friday in Asaba, Delta State capital when daredevil armed robbers numbering over five attacked a bullion van around Koka junction along the Asaba-Benin Expressway and carted away a yet to be disclosed amount of cash, running into as much as several millions of naira.

According to an eyewitness account, the heavily armed hoodlums, who came in a grey Sienna car, were seen shooting sporadically before overpowering the security personnel serving as escort to the bullion van said to belong to United Bank for Africa, (UBA), and thereafter took possession of the van and emptied its vault and zoomed off to an unknown destination.

Reports gathered by SaharaReporters are that the operation which lasted several minutes, saw people scampering for safety as the sporadic shooting increased to scare away people, though no life was lost. It was not however clear where the van was coming from and going to when the incident occurred.

A middle-aged man who narrowly escaped the armed robbers’ bullets that left his car severely damaged, told our correspondent that “I want to thank God for saving my life. I witnessed how the armed robbery incident started. The whole incident started around 12noon at Koka junction along the Asaba-Benin expressway. The mobile policemen that were escorting the bullion van were overpowered and the driver of the bullion van quickly escaped.”

“At this junction, the robbers quickly seized the van and emptied it before leaving. The sporadic shooting by the robbers made people running for dear lives. The incident also caused a serious hold up along the ever busy expressway. Before the police could arrive the scene the robbers have zoomed off with their Sienna car with serious gunshots into the air. I would have been a dead man by now if that bullet had touched me,” the eyewitness said.

Our correspondent, gathered that, shortly after the successful operation, some policemen believed to have come from the Delta State Police Command drove the bullion van to the A Division Police Station, Asaba where it was parked for further investigation.

A police source who confided in our correspondent disclosed that the successful armed robbery operation was carried out with insiders connivance.

Several calls put across to the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Andrew Aniamaka, were rebuffed but when contacted as at the time of filing in this report, the state commissioner of police, Zanna Ibrahim said he has not been properly briefed and pleased for more time.

This video of a woman who claims to be Nigerian, disrespecting a fellow passenger has since been making rounds on social media.

Captured on the phone of a fellow passenger and posted to the Dartford Rail Travellers Association Facebook page, the video shows the furious female commuter putting her feet on the male passenger’s seat.

It’s not clear what prompted the row in the first place, but boy, does that confrontation escalate.

In the video, she started encroaching on the white man’s space by putting her foot between his balls on the seat of a train in London.

The video starts when the ‘Nigerian’ woman with a slight British accent says:

‘You’re an idiot’

After calling him an ‘idiot’, the woman continues:

Touch me again and I’ll f***ing slap you. Stop touching me. That’s why you’re not married.

He replies by waving his wedding ring in her face, and says his wife is a ‘lovely Yoruba lady’.

To which the woman shoots back:

Your wife is from where I’m from – you know we have the same accent. Trust me, she doesn’t love you, she is using your money, you idiot.

Touch me again and I will slap you, the same way your wife treats you at home. I’m literally grabbing you by your balls, do you understand this? You know you can’t do sh*t.

The man laughs and says:

You’re making yourself look like a complete fool. Just because you can’t respect other people’s property. Take your shoes off my seat.

She then calls him racist and and an idiot again, after the threatening outburst.

It is also unclear whether the pair previously knew each other, but with those barbed comments I’m guessing they’re arch rivals now.

Watch the video below:

The white man has since been identified, He was identified by MailOnline as a Tory Councillor responsible for the capital’s transport, Keith Prince.

Prince of the London Assembly, has apologised for the ‘petty’ argument he had with the disrespectful Nigerian lady.

‘I regret getting involved in such a petty dispute.’ he said. ‘This is one of those situations in which it is better to simply walk away.

‘By the end of the journey we were joking with each other and having a pleasant conversation. That said, I’d like to apologise to my fellow commuters for the disturbance our initial disagreement caused.’

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was ambushed during an early morning prayer walk on Wednesday.

The story, narrated by him on Wednesday night, was one of the many highlights of the third day of Congress, holding at the Redemption Camp of the church, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

According to the pastor, he was trying to look for a quiet place in the Camp, which is fast becoming a big town, at about 4am, when some people ambushed him for blessing.

The high demand for meeting the pastor has often denied him privacy.

“If you see a man of over 75 years old walking alone at night, you must know that he is doing that on a purpose, but the people won’t let me,” he recounted. “I tried to veer along a path into the bush, and was relieved to be alone to pray, but they traced me there.”

He said finally, he was able to be alone with God, who assured him during the Wednesday programme every yoke of bondage would be broken.

He did not explain how he was able to free himself from the people who were following him, but the deliverance service later that day and early Thursday, was attended by millions of people.

Another major highlight of the day was the demographics of attendance, which confirmed the spread of the church around the world – now in 196 countries- and the popularity of the Congress.

There were delegates from several African countries and many representatives from the Europe and the Americas.

The congregation shouted with joy when representatives from countries like Mongolia, Macao, Bangladesh, Thailand, Bahrain, and Peru were announced.

So also was the congregation excited by the recognition and praises of RCCG by some of the foreign delegates and representatives.

Pastor Mensah Otabil, a renowned Bible teacher, whose powerful ministration was another highpoint of the night, described Pastor Adeboye as, “the foremost Christian influence in the world at the moment,” and praised for his integrity, holiness and leadership qualities.

Much later, the Senior Pastor of the Family of God Church in Indonesia, who led a delegation of 21 from that country to the Congress, said through an interpreter that God directed them to come and see the great work he is doing in RCCG, which he described as the “people’s church of the world.”

He hopes to “catch the annointing of Pastor Adeboye and the church that makes the impossible, possible.”

In another goodwill message, Apostle Omobude, leader of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, congratulated RCCG for the Congress and its other achievements.

Mr. Otabil, noted for the depth of his messages, was cheered by the congregation as mounted the pulpit. Ministering, he said the greatest restorer is Jesus Christ, who like in the example of Zachaeus, does not only save a person but also restore that which was lost.

He explained that what one loses in the sinful world is the glory of God, which Jesus came to restore. Glory, he said, has weight, it is the presence of God and the manisfestion of his power.

Then citing the incidence on the Mount of Transfiguration , where the glory of God so transformed Jesus, that Peter and John could not look at him, he glory brightness the individual, even his clothes and his environment.

He made the point that before the cruxifiction of Jesus, he was able to transfer the glory he carried to others, such that anyone who worshipped and obeyed God could receive His glory.

The deliverance

Pastor Adeboye’s turn, the last of the day, which is also the highest point came after testimonies by people who had been blessed by God.

A youngman, John Odega, fulfilled his promise to God by rolling seven times on the stage over the cure of prostate cancer, after he sat on a bed Pastor Adeboye had used which is on display at the Open Heavens International at the Camp.

Many couple testified about how God blessed them with babies after many years of waiting.

Pastor Adeboye described his session as a serious one because people were going to fight for their freedom from bondage. He explains that fighting the devil, who attacks at many points, is complicated by the fact he is an invisible enemy, who could even deceive an individual into thinking that they are invincible, while he (the devil) attacks the persons relations.

He likened life in bondage to a person with hands and legs bound in prison, a situation which restricts his coast and limits his progress.

But he said with deliverance, God’s glory with all its power is restored for a turnaround and progress; enemies become disappointed , some disappear and some others become servants.

He listed seven reasons why he believed people were going be delivered that night.

After that he made an altar call to enable sinners in the congregation to receive salvation before leading a prayer session he described as warfare, which was preceded with praise singing for God to arise.

The session ended at about 12.40 am, as people went away singing songs of victory.

THE Federal Government has been called upon to widen the scope of its repatriation project to cover not only Nigerians stranded in Libya but also those held in deportation camps in Asian countries such as India and Malaysia.

Speaking with South-East Voice in Abakaliki, a Nigerian who was recently deported from India for having issues with his travelling documents, Mr Chukwudi Onu explained that at least 150 Nigerians were languishing in deportation camp in India.

Narrating his ordeal, Mr Onu who is from Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State lamented that his wife and three children are still stranded in India following his arrest and deportation in May this year.

“I have been living in India for the past six years, I travelled with my family in December 2011 and on May 15th, I was arrested by Indian Immigration Police over expired visa, from there to deportation camp where I spent over a month before I was deported to Nigeria.” Mr Onu said Indian government had become hostile to Nigerians recently, alleging that even those with valid passports were most times arrested and hauled into deportation camp, only to be released after their papers must have been verified.

He noted that so many Nigerians in the camp had been there for over one year without any hope of returning as they had not been able to raise money for their tickets.

“Yes there were over one thousand, five hundred Nigerians, because in my room, I think we were over 60 and they have over 21 rooms. There are places for Pakistanis and Afghanistans, I think I saw one Polish and an Australian, but the population of Nigerians is 20 to one of other nationals.” Mr Onu explained that his family had been kicked out of their apartment over unpaid bills and could not go to deportation camp because of the harsh treatment being meted out to Nigerians.

“My family is staying in an open church, even to raise money for their air tickets is an uphill task for me. I have been reaching out to the government and Nigerian High Commission in India. Right now, I am appealing to Ebonyi State Government because I am from Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area and well-meaning Nigerians to help me rescue my family.”

The deportee said he was worried about the condition of his family as the weather in India presently is too cold, noting that he was paying $800 for their rent from Nigeria until he ran out of cash.

He stated that air ticket for his wife and three children from New Delhi to Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu, would cost a total of $4,000 but would prefer tickets. “Each ticket from New Delhi to Enugu is about N312,000 multiplied by four which is about N1.2 million but I have been able to raise about N200,000 by myself.

I am only appealing to the federal and Ebonyi State governments as well as well meaning Nigerians to assist. I don’t really need the cash, if tickets are bought from any travelling agency, I will send to them.

“I run a restaurant in New Delhi, CJ African Restaurant as well as Medical Tourism Management business to help those on medical trip with necessary logistics.”

Mr Onu, however, blamed himself for his travail pointing out that he failed to renew his papers because he travelled with a medical visa which required that he returns to Nigeria before applying for a permanent visa.

Below is also a mail he sent to media houses;

“My name is Onu James Chukwudi, from Ebonyi State. I was recently deported from India and my family are still stranded in India without any means of survival.

My account was frozen and my restaurant and medical tourism management business closed down over my expired visa.

I was deported without even my shoe laces; my family are have been kicked out of our house over unpaid bills and currently live like refugees and stay in an IDP Camp in New Delhi, India.

The amount for the air fare is N1.3 million which also include the accumulated charges which is charged on a person whose visa has expired on a daily basis by the Indian government.

I appeal to you to use your platform to appeal to well-meaning Nigerians to help me raise money for their air ticket back home.

These are my details in case anyone wants to help out:
