“SARS NEEDS TO STOP THE ABUSE OF INNOCENT CITIZENS
The wanton abuse of power by the officers of the special anti robbery squad (SARS) is becoming unbearable. How does harassing innocent Nigerians constitute as their job?
On my way to work yesterday the 20th of Nov 2017 on an okada on Erunwen road in the Ikorodu area of Lagos, a mini Suzuki bus overtook us and suddenly halted in front of the bike that was conveying me to work. Out of the bus came 3 armed men with SARS boldly written on their shirts pointing guns at us. The sudden stop of the bike made us fall at the middle of the road and in the process the hot silencer of the Okada burnt through my trousers and was burning my flesh. I was screaming for help so the bike could be taken off my leg but these “police officers” were more interested in bundling us into their bus.
I’m a certified Computer Programmer and web site designer and I work as a back-end admin for a top hotel here in Ikorodu. I also do other web related jobs freelance such as building websites for several clients. I have never involved myself in cyber crime of any sort. The revenue I make off my jobs keeps me humble as my needs are not much.
After bungling us into the bus, with my leg badly burnt and bleeding, I asked them what crime had I committed? They asked for my phone, I asked them again, what crime had I committed, they promptly pointed their guns towards me. I gave them my phone because I’ve heard how they kill people who resist them recklessly and I was not looking to be a statistic.
They begun driving all around aimlessly while checking our phones. They tried to open my Facebook app but my the data wasn’t on. Since they couldn’t get any info from FB, they decided to look at my photo gallery. When it seemed like the type of evidence they were looking for was not available and all he saw were my screenshots chats and he began to delete them. Delete?
At that point I became livid, Hello sir, those screenshots are back end admin usernames and passwords for the web designs of my clients. No! You don’t have the right to do that sir, but that infuriated them and they began punching and slapping me from all directions. The officer with my phone deleted my first photo folder and was moving to wipe out my whole gallery folder when I yanked my phone from him. They hit me harder pointing that they will kill me and dump me by the roadside and nobody will do anything to them. At this point I could not feel my toes as my burnt leg was bleeding out.
I thought to myself that when i woke up that morning, dealing with the Nigerian police in this manner was not what i planned for. what was my crime again? Being a computer savvy youth with a phone and training myself to make a decent living with my skills.
I remembered that in the news recently some SARS officers while chasing a suspected Internet fraudster, Badoo at the Ogoja Market along LASU-Igando Road, had started shooting sporadically and in the process, a stray bullet hit 20-year-old Joseph in the head.
After hours of rounding up more innocent victims and seeing my phone was clean, they dropped me off at Erunwen Junction. With the amount of gun pokes and gun butt hitting it will be a miracle if there’s no internal injury. Every blood of the Nigerian youth that dies and has died based on the unprofessional conduct of these officers will speak today. These extra-judicial killing and harassment of innocent citizens is nothing short of a genocidal agenda to wipe a population of Nigerian youths. It’s a privilege to serve as an officer of the Nigerian forces. SARS STOP THE WANTON ABUSE.”

Soldiers chain man to motorcycle in Lagos, drag him on street over alleged lovers dispute .

Soldier Brutality

An electronics dealer in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, Lukman Lambo, may have to undergo a surgery to regain the use of his left eye, Punch reports.

The injury was inflicted on him by soldiers, who also dragged him on the street. It was said that the girlfriend of one of the soldiers had a disagreement with Lukman’s younger brother, Saheed. .

Saheed and the lady, identified simply as Dasola, were neighbours on Itulubajo Lane, Alhaji Street, Ikorodu. It was learnt that the duo were lovers, until a few weeks ago when a disagreement over money strained their relationship. .

It was gathered that some residents clashed around 11am on Saturday, November 11, in the house where Saheed lives and Dasola went to watch the altercation. .

Soldier Brutality

Saheed was said to have rebuked her for poking her nose into a situation that did not concern her. At about 5pm on that day, Dasola reportedly led her soldier boyfriend in company with three other soldiers to Saheed’s residence.

The soldiers did not meet Saheed at home, but they descended on his elder brother, Lukman, who was on a visit. The victim revealed that one of the soldiers believed to be Dasola’s boyfriend rained blows on his face. .

He said he was handcuffed to a motorcycle while one of the soldiers rode the bike and dragged him on the street. Lukman said the soldiers left him when blood started coming out from his eyes. .

The case was reported at the Igbogbo Police Station and Dasola was arrested. Saheed explained that a week before the incident, he had taken Dasola to an inn in the community. .

He said after the date, he gave her N1,500, but she rejected it, insisting that she would collect N2,500. Saheed said, “She later collected the N1,500, but tore my clothes. .

Afterwards, she would abuse me whenever she saw me. On Saturday, November 11, my friends fought in our compound and she came. I told her she was nosy. We abused each other and she left and later came back with the soldiers to intimidate me.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde-Famous Cole, confirmed the assault.

He said,

“Investigations commenced after the case was reported. The lady was arrested for conspiring with the soldiers to assault the man. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.

“The Divisional Police Officer found out that the suspects were from an army barracks. We have to write to the Nigerian Army to report their conduct and get them identified so that they could be brought to book.”

Nigerian Army Orders All Personnel To Learn Yoruba, Igbo And Hausa Before 2019

Nigerian Army Orders Personnel

The Nigerian Army has directed all its officers and men to immediately commence the learning of the three major Nigerian languages.

Nigerian Army Orders Personnel

A statement by the Army spokesperson, Brigadier General Sani Usman, on Wednesday morning said all personnel are expected to be proficient in Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba by December 2018.

He said that the directive is part of the new language policy by the army.

Read full statement below…

NIGERIAN ARMY INTRODUCES NEW LANGUAGE POLICY FOR OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS

1. The Nigerian Army has introduced a new Language Policy. The study of foreign and local languages is world-wide practice among armies, in which officers and soldiers are encouraged to be multi-lingual. The Policy will foster espirit-de-corps and better communication with the populace to enhance information gathering, civil-military relations, increase understanding between militaries when operating abroad and assist officers and soldiers to perform their duties professionally.

2. It is to be noted that English remains the official language in the Nigerian Army. Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa languages could be used during Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) activities or interrogation. Therefore all Nigerian Army personnel have been given one year to learn the three major Nigerian languages. Invariably, by December 2018, all Nigerian Army personnel are expected to learn the three major Nigerian languages. The standard of proficiency to be attained is the basic level. Certificated proficiency level will attract Language Allowance.

3. The ability to speak the 3 major Nigerian languages will be an added advantage to those applying for recruitment or commissioning into the Nigerian Army. Therefore, prospective candidates are encouraged to learn Nigerian languages other than their mother tongues.

4. Before now, the Nigerian Army officially encouraged the learning of French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Swahili. French language is an assessed subject in some career courses and examinations for Nigerian Army personnel.

Mr. 2Kay reveals how Burna Boy threatened to attack him over the “tithe drama”

Popular Nigerian singer, Abinye David Jumbo popularly known as Mr 2Kay, has broken his silence on the robbery incident and alleged involvement of singer, Burna Boy.

Mr. 2Kay said Burna Boy had issued him a threat but that he took it as child’s play.

His statement followed Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Imohimi Edgar’s declaration of Burna Boy wanted over his alleged involvement in Mr 2Kay’s travail.

Speaking to Vanguard through his manager, Silas, Mr. 2Kay disclosed that Burna Boy’s threat was sequel to his caution on the former’s attack on Pastors.

Lagos Police Invites Burna Boy

He said: “The arrested suspects confessed that Burna Boy contracted them through a third party to teach Mr. 2Kay a lesson because he granted HipTV an interview, where he corrected Burna Boy for saying negative things about Nigerian pastors.

“2Kay only said Burna Boy shouldn’t have spoken ill of pastors because they are anointed men of God so he can’t be talking about them in that manner.

“After the interview, Burna Boy sent a message saying ‘You better have that energy when I come for you because I’m coming for you.’

“We thought it was just an empty threat but unknown to us he was serious about it. All along we didn’t want to talk about it because the police are still doing their investigations.

“His father was at the station yesterday (Monday), so Burnaboy just has to appear at the station to clarify himself”, he said.

Speaking further, he expressed fear for the safety of his life and members of his team.

He said; “We just have to watch our backs because we’re not safe. Mr. 2Kay will always have security around him, two bodyguards and police protection for every event he goes for now.”

However, he confirmed that the camp has no intentions to press charges against Burna Boy because he is a peace loving person.

“Mr. 2Kay does not want any form of trouble, left to him alone he would drop all charges. But for now it’s left to the police, they have the right to do whatever. On our own end, I don’t think we’re going to press charges”.

“He was a cheating piece of filth. He got what he deserved” – Lady defends Maryam Sanda, who allegedly stabbed her husband to death

Maryam Sanda

We reported two days ago that Bilyamin Bello, the son of a former Peoples Democratic Party Chairman, Haliru Bello, was on Saturday allegedly stabbed to death by his wife, Maryam Sanda

However One Maryam Aliyu, from Kebbi State, has come to the defence of her namesake, Maryam Sanda, who allegedly stabbed her husband, Bilyami Mohammed Bello to death in Abuja.

She Wrote ;

“Many people weighing into these Maryam Sanda and Bilyaminu Halliru talk ignorantly without knowing the details. There isn’t enough evidence that she committed the said murder, matter of fact the only mystery proven is he was a cheating piece of filth and if you ask me, he got what he deserved. I’m leaning more on the argument that he died in a fight and it was not a cold blooded murder. Stay strong Maryam, Allah is with you.”

Bilyamin Muhammed Bello was stabbed three times in the back and severally on his private parts in the early hours of Sunday, at their residence in Pension Estate, Pakali Close, Wuse 2, Abuja.

Dr Sid and Simi Esiri’s 3 year old marriage in crisis, as they unfollow each other on Instagram

The 3 year old marriage between Nigerian Singer, Dr Sid and his beautiful Wife, Simi Esiri is currently in crisis.

Simi and Dr Sid got married in August 2013, and they both have a daughter together..

According to reports, they were both recently spotted together at Femi Otedola’s daughter’s album music show case last month, October, and just a few days ago, they took their daughter out, despite the fact that they have been having issues.

‘They’ve been having issues for a very long time. it got so bad that Simi has had to move out of the house a couple of times’ a very highly placed source tells LIB.

Recall, In a 2016 interview with Sunday Spice, Dr Sid was quoted to have said, ‘I remember us quarrelling two days before our wedding and even threatening to pull out. But, our love for each other has kept us going. Right now, our marriage is on autopilot and we are just cruising because we understand each other absolutely’.

At the moment, Simi no longer wears her ring (she posted this picture above without the ring 3 days ago) and they no longer follow each other on Instagram.

She has also deleted the wedding anniversary post she made on Instagram back in August along with all her wedding photos.

They have both unfollowed each other as can be seen below.

Dr Sid is really trying to make it work but Simi already has her mind made up’ the source said. ‘Sid even made sure to attend the Nickolodeon festival this past weekend so he could spend time with his daughter but Simi was giving him the cold shoulder all through’.

The couple tied the knot at the Ikoyi Baptist Church, Lagos in August 2014 with a grand, celebrity-studded reception held at the Oriental Hotels in Lekki.

Picture of Regina Daniel’s bestie, Casie snow, as Regina Daniels reacts to reports that she leaked her best friend’s nudes

This morning, news went viral after a Blogger, Amanda Chisom accused 17-year-old Actress, Regina Daniels of leaking her best Friend, Casie Snow’s nud-e pictures, after the latter refused to sleep with a Nollywood Producer.

Regina Daniels.

The news went viral immediately, with many judging the teenage actress.

Amanda earlier wrote on Facebook with some purported screenshots thus;

“Meanwhile, yesterday a young girl came to me that this never more than 17 years nollywood actress was blackmailing her and threatening her with nudes if she does not go to sleep with a certain producer.

This is supposed to be a teenager oh threatening another teenager she asked for nudes so she can introduce her into acting that if she does not sleep with a certain producer. In my typical fashion, I went to this child first and asked her to make sure that she does not post nudes of anybody and familiarise herself with the cyber crime act. Obviously, she does not have any brain she decided she cannot be threatened with lawsuit and have initiated the process of posting the nudes.

So I will return the favour and post every chat , names and details. We were all teenagers , we did stupid things but for this one to assume her Asaba popularity and instagram fame is enough to start pimping out her fellow teenagers to paedophiles and blackmailing people is something we must all cut at the root. I do not even want to know who is involved and who gives her guts. This post is a cannon shot.

Let those who know her tell her. Because I will not only post, I will make sure the law goes after her. Let her take down the girl’s picture from that website before I wake up…”

She didn’t just stop there, she also shared pictures and screenshots of the messages she sent to Regina Daniels’s Verified Instagram page.

Now, Chisom claims Regina Daniels saw her above message, and screenshotted it, then sent it to the Girl in question, Her Best friend;

She also claims Regina Daniels posted the below on her Whatsapp story, after she (Amanda) threatened her with the Law.

Now, this Morning, Amanda claimed Regina Daniels has uploaded the nude pictures of her said friend;

In reaction to this news, Regina took to her Instagram to write,

“Hello fam….. i usually don’t reply to this kinda stuffs but I have to. I have said it countless times that I am not on Facebook. And as for the instagram DM….that I dunno either…the truecaller, anyone can register a sim with my name. But can I ask a question to the victim… can u show me the reply of the so-called Regina u sent a DM to on instagram ?”

All this is new to me… have never heard of Amanda chisom before… so Biko oooo it’s not Regina thank you. Besides why will a young girl send out nude pictures…. ???”

She also took to the platform to share pictures with her Best Friend, Casie Snow.

Casie Snow has also reacted, She wrote;

Update: Burnaboy’s manager and Unilag students hired to rob and beat up Mr 2kay paraded (Photo)

Abiye Jumbo, aka Mr 2Kay, was robbed at gunpoint in his hotel room at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, after his performance at the “Buckwyld N Breathless” concert.

The Suspects. Burna Boy’s manager, (Far Left)

Punch reports that 3 of the 4 suspects Balogun Ademola, Obina Igwe, and Tunmise Omotore have confessed to the crime.

Omotore, the gang leader, told Punch that he was invited by Joel Kantiok, Burna Boy’s road manager, who told him his boss needed to deal with Mr 2Kay. He said:

On that day, I was at home when Joel called me on the telephone and said Mr. 2Kay had to be beaten up. He said Mr. 2Kay had issues with Burna Boy.

On getting to the hotel, he gave me the room number where Mr. 2Kay was. He led me and three others, including one Sunny, to the elevator and told a security man to open the elevator for us.

We posed as room service officials, entered his room and beat him up. We tied him up and collected his phones, a wristwatch and some other things. I was paid N50,000.

Igwe corroborated Omotore’s story. He however told Punch they did not cart away Mr 2Kay’s property. He said:

My friend, Tunmise, contacted me on the telephone. He said Burna Boy told his road manager that he was having a misunderstanding with Mr. 2Kay. I am also a fan of Burna Boy, so I decided to volunteer myself. Tunmise came to pick me at Bariga and we went to the hotel.

Kantiok has however denied that Burna Boy was involved the robbery, adding that he had no knowledge of the two artists – Burna Boy and Mr 2Kay – having a dispute.

The suspects were paraded on Monday at the state command headquarters in Ikeja by the Lagos State Acting Police Commissioner Edgal Imohimi.

Imohimi told Punch that the suspects were tracked through footage caught on the CCTV cameras installed in the hotel.

He gave an account of the stolen items, adding that the robbery on Mr 2Kay was carried out to “teach him a lesson.” He said:

At about 2am, someone knocked on the door of Mr. 2Kay’s room and introduced himself as a room service official from the reception. Mr. 2Kay opened the door and four men entered with a gun.

They robbed him of his Audemais Piquet, an automatic gold wristwatch valued at $25,000; gold jewellery valued at N1.5m; an iPhone 7 valued at N380,000, a Samsung Galaxy S7 valued at N240,000, Samsung Galaxy S5 worth N110,000; Adidas shoes valued at N75,000; three bottles of perfume worth N180,000, and a cash sum of N45,000.

The gang then tied him and his girlfriend up before leaving the room. During investigations, the girlfriend of one of the gang members, Nimota Mutajero, was arrested. Her confession led to the arrest of three suspects. They confessed that one Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy, an artiste, through his road manager, one Joel Kantiock, contacted and paid them to rob Mr. 2Kay to teach him a lesson.

Kantiock was subsequently picked up in his hideout in Zaria, Kaduna State.

He confessed that his boss, Burna Boy, instructed him to look for armed men that could rob Mr. 2Kay. Burna Boy mobilised the gang with an initial cash sum of N50,000 and a subsequent sum of N50,000 when the job had been completed.

I advise Ogulu aka Burna Boy, to report himself at the nearest police station since efforts to locate him at his residence or any known hangouts, have proved abortive.

Banky W finally reacts to Ebuka’s agbada outfit to his wedding

Ebuka literally stole the show at Banky W and Adesua Etomi’s Traditional Wedding Ceremony, which held on Sunday, with his unique Agbada Outfit by Ugo Monye, from his Reale Spring/Summer 2018 Collection.

Thing is if you were a guest at the wedding, and for one reason or the other, you have no idea who the Bride or the Groom is, you’d feel the Groom was EBUKA.

His Agbada was something Else… If you missed it, Here’s a peep at his Billion Dollar Agbada.. Photos Below;

Folks on Social Media drooled over his outfit, as he basically stole the show at the wedding.

Now, Banky has reacted to this, and he says he’s ready for Ebuka at the White Wedding, as he was also confused for a minute at who was actually getting married.

“I was genuinely momentarily confused as to which of us was the groom… Lol.. I was about to switch into groomsmen mode and offer my guy a drink or small chops..”
