The owner of a restaurant, City Garden Resort, located at Banana Junction, Amaifeke, Chimezie Agubata, has been arrested by the Imo State Police Command in Owerri for allegedly abducting three children and selling two of them.
Agubata, who hails from Nkwerre Local Government Area of Imo State and reportedly manages an orphanage home, God’s Favour Orphanage Home, in Okporo, was paraded by the police on Friday.
A widow, Mrs. Esther Agwu, narrated to newsmen at the police station how Agubata allegedly abducted her three children and sold off two of them.
The widow, who hails from Amasiri Afikpo Community in Ebonyi State, said she had been working for Agubata when the suspects allegedly abducted the children under the guise that he was taking care of them.
The widow said it was by God’s grace that her eldest child escaped from Agubata’s home when he noticed that his siblings had been given to two different persons, who took them away in different vehicles.
Agwu explained that it was one Ifeanyi, who introduced her to Agubata, upon the demise of her husband.
The widow said the suspect promised to offer her a job without knowing that he was in the business of abducting and selling children.
She said:
“He told me that his wife was not happy that my children were playing around on his business premises and that he would want my three children to stay with his mother in her house. He presented one woman who claimed to be his mother and from the shop she left with my children.
“That same day, he told me that there is one of his uncles in Lagos whose wife has difficulty in child bearing and that the man would want to see me for marriage. He then gave me N5,500 to go to Lagos and told me that he would come and pick me at the park.
“The following day, I left for Lagos to see the proposed husband. But when I got to Lagos, a woman called and picked me and kept me in a place that looked like a brothel with prostitutes.
“I asked her about the man. She said I will go to Ghana or stay in Lagos and do what others were doing at the brothel. I had to run out of the place and went to the street, where I started begging for assistance. Some people assisted me with transport fare with which I immediately travelled back to Orlu to look for my children,”
The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, said the command was determined to eradicate child trafficking in the state.
He said operatives of the command had been charged to go after people who derive joy in trading in human beings, especially little children, adding that anybody who got involved in running illegal orphanages would be brought to justice.
The husband of the murdered Osun state permanent secretary of Bureau of General Services, Mrs Olufunke Oluwakemi Kolawole, has revealed the strange message she got from his wife three weeks before her death.
The death of Mrs Kolawole, who was reportedly shot died by unknown gunmen along Okene-Abuja Road in Kogi State, on her way to Abuja last Thursday, stirred mixed feelings about the actual cause of the death whether it was an assassination by kidnappers or murder by Armed robbers.
Mr. Tunde Kolawole, the husband of the deceased however spoke with journalists on the text message he got from the wife before she encountered mysterious death.
He said:
“About three weeks ago, she sent a text message to me. I was in Lagos then. When I read the message, it said: ‘In case anything happens, please take care of the children. Make sure they are comfortable.’
“When I read the message, I thought it was her normal way of asking me to care for the children. I never suspected anything bad, neither did I imagine that anything was going to happen to her.
On the speculated death, he expressed doubt on the tendency of his wife being killed by hired assassins.
“I don’t want to believe that she had a premonition of her death before sending that message to me. I only felt that it was her normal way of asking me to take care of the children.”
“I can’t say whether they were kidnappers because the manner in which they attacked her showed that they were not kidnappers, but robbers because some of them searched her bags and made away with money, her handsets and other valuable items”, Mr. Kolawole noted.

After being married for 17 years, Nigerian Actress and Producer, Omoni Oboli, is in a good position to give advice on marriage.
In a recent interview with Punch, when asked how she has kept her home intact, she said she does not take credit for it.
She said:
I don’t know if I keep my home intact; I believe God does that for me. There are many women who do the right things and show up at every time for their husbands and still get the short end of the stick. So I don’t take credit for it. I have my moments and he does too, but somehow it has never tipped the scale and that’s because God made it possible.
Nevertheless, I believe that when you understand that you’re both different individuals who have become one, then you can try to weather any storm, knowing that if you don’t, both of you will have a dreadful life in that marriage. Enjoy it and seek for the things that make for peace because life is too short to waste it fighting.
I have an understanding husband who knows what my job entails and I don’t disrespect him, so we assume responsibilities to fill up the gaps that the other is lacking. My career keeps me away from my family often, but with love and understanding, family and career have never been at war in my home.

The Baale of Magodo/Shangisha was a last week suspended by Governor Ambode after he was paraded by the Lagos state Police command for faking his own kidnap – in related developments the Governor has ordered the Prosecution of Chief Ogundare for the crime committed
In a press release signed by the State’s Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon Muslim Folami, the Governor ordered Ogundare to henceforth desist from parading himself as the Baale of Shangisha or discharge any duties attached to chieftaincy matters in the State.
Folami, in the statement, said:
This is to inform the general public that His Excellency, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has authorized the DEPOSITION AND PROSECUTION by police of Chief Yusuf Mutiu Ogundare, Baale of Shangisha with immediate effect.
This is in accordance with Section 38, subsection 1 of the Obas and Chiefs Laws of Lagos State inter-alia
The Governor may suspend or depose any Oba or Chief whether appointed before or after commencement of this law, if he is satisfied that such suspension or deposition is required according to customary law or is necessary in the interest of peace or good government.?
Furthermore, he (Ogundare) is to stop parading himself, purports to exercise or discharge any of the duties attached to Chieftaincy Matters with immediate effect.?

The States Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, while parading the suspects at the Lagos House in Ikeja, had narrated how they conspired to perfect the fake kidnap, all in a bid to implicate the Oba of Magodo, as well as rubbish the State Government and security agencies. Owoseni said six days after the incidence, some men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on patrol in Alausa area at about 10pm apprehended Ogundare after he was dropped in a suspicious manner by a car which sped off immediately.

Former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke
The former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke has threatened to expose secrets connecting her with her associates, Kola Aluko and Jide Omokore.
Alison-Madueke, who is being investigated for corruption in Nigeria, United Kingdom and United States of America, also expressed readiness to face the wrath of the court which may result to her imprisonment.
This revelation is contained in series of recorded conversations recovered by investigators probing the corruption allegations against the former minister. Details of the conversations have now been filed as part of a civil complaint by the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) seeking the forfeiture of over $144 million slush fund.
Mrs Alison-Madueke alongside her accomplices, Mr. Aluko and Mr. Omokore were listed as persons of interest in the civil complaint filed at the US District Court, Houston, Texas. The complaint revealed how the three individuals laundered millions of dollars on behalf of Mrs Alison-Madueke, which was used in buying property in the US and the UK for her family in return for oil contracts to Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Ltd, AEDC, and Atlantic Energy brass Development Ltd, AEBD, two Shell companies owned by Mr Omokore. In the conversation with Mr Aluko recorded by herself on May 14, 2014, a clearly angry Mrs Alison-Madueke admitted to helping her associates secure the multi-billion dollars Strategic Alliance Agreements, SAAs, deals.
In another conversation with another unknown recipient, the former minister dared Aluko to reveal details of their dealings, and then face the consequences. This she did in response to speculations that Mr Aluko was going to blackmail her, threatened to spill the beans. She said she was ready to reveal to Nigerians all that happened and was ready to follow Aluko and Omokore to jail.
“I will tell him (Aluko) to bring everything out, and then you know what will happen? No problem, I will be happy to escort all of you to jail along with myself. I said, in fact, you’ll be shocked by what I will do. Because when it comes to that, I will come out and tell the Nigerian people this is what happened.
“Anything they want to say, I am happy to go. But I will come out openly and say it so that they can judge me openly. And then all of us go and sit on the gate. Let us see who survives, me or you”, she said.
Alison-Madueke was the Former of Petroleum under the Former President Goodluck Jonathan.
