A US-based Facebook user identified as Jarron Keith Carter, has taken to the social networking platform to reveal that all his nine children with his ex-babymamas are bastards while he praised his current pregnant wife.
The man who has been married to his wife, Octavia Carter, for two years shared the post on Facebook to celebrate their wedding anniversary and revealed that being married to his wife has tested him physically, faithfully and mentally.
The happy man said that the child they are both expecting is special to him while labelling his other nine kids as bastards.
He wrote:
“2 years ago today I married my beautiful wife. I remember walking down the aisle knowing this it. I took a big step in life when I made that decision, but I don’t regret it. Being married tests everything.
“It tests you physically, mentally, it even tests you faithfully. What I love so much about our marriage is that, we’ve never seemed to lose each other. We believe everything is so workable, and nothing can separate us. Together we are so powerful. I can’t brag and say our marriage is perfect, but it’s better than the last 5 I have been in.
“Today is also special to me because, a few weeks ago while at work you texted me with a message that almost caused me to break down in tears. I’ve wanted to run and tell everybody about the news, but you just told me to wait until the right time.
“Well today is the right time, because your first trimester is closing. This kid will be so special to me, yes I have 9 other kids, but they’re bastards.
“For 4 years you were a really great girlfriend. For 2 years you have been an awesome wife. Within a few months, you will be a much better mother. I love you so much.
Alterplate Music Company Boss and lead artiste, Harrison Tare Okiri, Harrysong has lost his Twitter account, yet again.
Harrysong was for months shut out of his account, @iammrsongz by dare devil hackers after several attempts to defraud him proved abortive.
The singer’s twitter account was earlier in the year hacked and recovered a month after. Shortly after the account was restored, it was hacked again, hence the decision to abandon it completely for a new one becomes the sensible move.
Harrysong has launched a new twitter handle, @iamharrysong and wishes to inform his fans to connect with him via the new medium.
Iterating that all his other social media handles remain the same, Harrysong also seizes this opportunity to register his unreserved appreciation to his teaming fans for their undying love and standing by him even in the most challenging times.
“I and my Alterplate team shall be releasing some new materials pretty soon and I am convinced you’ll all love them. In the interim, my collaboration with D’Banj titled “It’s not a lie” is out, go check it out and feel free to share your thoughts with me via my social media handles
Before the arrest of Notorious Billionaire Kingpin, Evan, the Nigerian Police published pictures of a man based in Angola after they mistook him as Evans. They even published his pictures in Newspapers.
The man who has since been identified as Tochukwu Ambrose Onwuamadike is from Akaboukwu Uruagu Nnewi. He is a Nigerian businessman based in Angola.
Apparently, he bears the same surname as the real Evans.. Evans full names are Chukwumeme Onwuamadike.
According to multiple reports, the guy has been excited over the arrest of the real Evans since the news of the arrest broke.
The kidnap kingpin Evans hails from Akamili, Umudim Quarters in Nnewi, Anambra State.
The Benue State Police Command, on Wednesday, arrested a young man who disguises himself as a woman, in a bid to sleep with men at brothels in Makurdi.
He reportedly confessed that an old man initiated him five years ago and promised that he will become a millionaire after twelve years, adding that he has slept with so many people in Abuja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Lagos and other states.
Following the killing of two policemen in a robbery at a Zenith Bank branch in Owerri, Imo State, some men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force have decried the alleged abandonment of their family members by the police authorities.
The operatives, who spoke with our correspondents on condition of anonymity, lamented that meager welfare package, poor equipment and absence of a good insurance policy discouraged them from giving their best to the Force.
Many of them said they would never lay their lives on the line.
PUNCH Metro had reported that a four-man gang attacked the bank on February 22, 2017, and shot the three cops on duty.
While two of the policemen, Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko and Sergeant Sunday Agbo, died from gunshot injuries sustained during the incident, the third policeman, Sergeant Otu Attang, lost one of his eyes.
The incident, however, gained public attention early June when footage of the bank’s Closed Circuit Television camera, which captured the moment of the robbery, was released to the public.
The 2.58 minutes video, which immediately went viral on the social media, showed a courageous Chukwudi engaging the robbers in a gun duel from a security post at the bank’s entrance.
One of the robbers, later identified as Ikechukwu Opara, was shot dead while advancing to the security post.
Soon after, Chukwudi could be seen running out of the security post as one of the robbers shot in his direction.
He was said to have died the next day, following gunshot injuries he sustained during the attack.
In an interview with The PUNCH Newspapers, Chukwudi’s widow, Rose, lamented that one of their eight children, Chukwuebuka, died from shock during the burial of the father.
The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, however, announced on Tuesday that Zenith Bank had decided to compensate the families of the affected cops with scholarships, allowances, among others.
He promised on behalf of the police that the entitlements of the cops would be paid on time.
Some Nigerian policemen said the attitude of the police to the plight of the cops and their families had discouraged them from giving their all to the job.
A police inspector in Lagos said he saluted Chukwudi’s bravery after seeing a clip of the robbery.
He said,
“Honestly, some of us are ready to do the work, but once you die on duty, nobody cares for your family.
Even in the barracks you live, your family will be thrown out. Many policemen run away when they see robbers because they know that if they die, their family will suffer. It is not as if we are not trained to confront robbers.
“The police authorities need to do something that will encourage officers to serve the country well. The policemen died in the course of duty and deserved special rewards.
“The police don’t have working life insurance scheme. It is only the Lagos State Government that considers such for policemen that die in the course of duty. The police only have N300,000 to give to your family members and it may take years before it gets to them. Our salaries are nothing to write home about. A police constable earns between N40,000 to N45,000. As an inspector, I don’t earn up to N70,000 and I’m almost two decades old in service.”
A divisional police officer serving in the Kwara State Police Command said unlike some other security agencies, remuneration and welfare packages for policemen were poor.
He said;
“It takes the fear of God to be a good policeman. When policemen and officials of the Department of State Services were killed in Nasarawa State, the DSS gave the family of each of its slain officials N10m, while the police paid N500,000 to each policeman’s family. When the public cried out, the then Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, increased it to N1m. The DSS also built houses for the families of those officers; nothing like that from the police.
“A lot of policemen have died with nothing to show for their gallantry. There is no review of our welfare package. If you are a policeman, always pray that you are not harmed on duty. And in the Nigeria Police, it is zero feedback; you dare not complain.
“When I read in The PUNCH that the hero policeman, Chukwudi, had seven children, I pitied his family. He died as a hero, but without the media, he would have died in vain. There is nothing bad if the children are absorbed into police schools. The Zenith Bank should come to the rescue of the family by empowering the widow and securing the future of those children.
“The morale is low already; but you dare not talk. An Assistant Commissioner of Police gets about N250,000 per month. A CP collects about N300,000, despite his rank. As a CSP, my salary is around N160,000. Meanwhile, a lot of people look up to you as a big man and depend on you.”
A sergeant attached to a police division in Oyo State, also lamented that it was customary of the police to abandon operatives killed in active service, adding that he wept when he read about the plight of Chukwudi’s family.
“It is the custom of the police. Once you die, your family will be abandoned. That is why many policemen are not courageous enough to confront criminals, especially armed robbers. There is no life insurance. Apart from the N500,000 for burial, the police won’t give your family anything. And it is hellish for your family to get your pension from the police,” he added.
A divisional police officer in Lagos State said there was no motivation for policemen to work.
He said,
“There is no motivation to do police work. No policeman is ready to die because once you die, there is no hope. It is not true that policemen are not insured. They are, but the compensation differs. The least, however, is N500,000. The payment differs based on rank. We are not equipped to fight crime. To resolve the problem of motivation, the government should be ready to spend more on the police.”
A police corporal in Lagos told PUNCH Metro that most of the rank and file preferred to be posted to offices where they would not face any risk.
He called for a review of the salaries of policemen.
He said,
“What can a police sergeant do with N50,000 as salary? A police corporal collects N44,000. A constable collects about N39,000. Did you know that the last time police salaries were increased was in 2007 during the administration of former President Musa Yar’adua? Almost 10 years after, nothing has been done to review the salaries despite the situation of the economy. Besides, policemen do not have any mortgage scheme to acquire at least, a small portion of land.
“To be truthful, for the past 15 to 20 years, policemen are working on the logic that nothing is worth dying for. Most policemen restrict themselves to administrative and office duties, where they can work with ease and return home in peace.
“Are you aware that a rank-and-file policeman who loses his life in active service gets at most N1m? Is that what someone will die for? And before his family can even collect that money, some of the people in charge must have slept with their widows. It is like going through the eye of a needle to receive that money. The families of some policemen, who died as far back as 2005, have not received that money till today.
“Go to the barracks across the country and you will have a true picture of the living condition of Nigerian policemen.”
He also lamented that most times, policemen used their money to buy pens, statement forms and files for cases, saying it was the reason the responsibilities were usually passed down to complainants.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Mashood Jimoh, said it was not true that families of policemen who died in active duty were neglected, adding that every cop was insured.
He said, “There is life insurance for policemen and officers by the Federal Government and it is working. The Force equally has a policy of paying death benefits, burial expenses, among others. Life insurance covers policemen that die in active service. Even those that die natural death have something to benefit. It is not correct for anybody to say we neglect our men.
“There is no delay in the payment of entitlements. Everybody gets the entitlement as and when due. There is also the contributory pension scheme, which is outside the Force. The insurance is equally outside the police. It is only the death benefits and burial expenses that are within the police.
“Recently, the Inspector-General of Police distributed cheques to hundreds of beneficiaries and periodically, when the cheques come up, AIGs, commands and DPOs are directed to give them to relatives of deceased officers. There is no delay on the side of the police.”
Meanwhile, the GoFundMe account opened for the family of Chukwudi rose to over $20,000 on Wednesday.
Police, CBN partner to curb bank robberies
The Imo State Commissioner of Police, Ezike, and some officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria and 50 regional and branch bank mangers on Wednesday held a meeting in Owerri, the state capital, on how to fortify banks against robberies.
The meeting was held at the CBN office in Owerri.
Ezike, at the end of the deliberation, said the meeting was about securing and safeguarding bank assets and customers in the state.
He said, “The meeting was to get security feedback from stakeholders on how to render quality services in terms of securing banks, bank users, and the security of Imo State, among others.
“We equally deliberated and raised awareness on the integrity of bank workers, security personnel in banks and the duties of the banks to the people.”
The police boss noted that there was a need to ensure that equipment with high grade integrity were used for banking services.
Asked if the meeting took note of bank robberies that had occured in the recent past, Ezike said such cases were also reviewed.
The Manager, Banking Operations, CBN, Owerri, Mr. G.C. Okeke, who described the meeting as the first of its kind in the state, said the ideas and mutual intelligence shared among the parties would help to bring professionalism to bear in banks and secure their assets.
Billionaire kidnapper, Chukwumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans, yesterday disclosed that his arrest would not have been possible but for his charms which failed at the last minute.
This came as family members denied knowing the whereabouts of Evans’ mother, Mrs. Chinwe Onwuamadike. Evans said he had believed in the efficacy of the charms of his native doctor, based in Nnewi, Anabra State.
The native doctor, according to him, is a traditional ruler. He was described as the backbone of Evans’ criminal activities, egging him on and telling him that no policeman born of a woman would ever be able to catch or arrest him.
According to Evans, after policemen stormed his Igando residence, where he used to keep victims, leading to gang members fleeing, he had run to the native doctor. He said:
“The native doctor resides in Nnewi, Anambra State.
He is a traditional ruler. After police busted our Igando hideout, he told me to have no fear. He said nothing would happen. He told me that nobody would be able to catch or arrest me. I believed him. I don’t know what went wrong.”
Meanwhile, Evans’ Uncle, Daniel Nwosu, who is bed-ridden, said he had not seen his sister, the suspect’s mother, in a very long time. He stands as the head of the Nwosu’s family in Akamili village, Umudim, Nnewi.
He said that it was only Chinwe’s husband, Stephen Onwuamadike, who would be able to give account of her whereabouts.
In an exclusive interview with New Telegraph yesterday, Nwosu said:
“I don’t have anything to say because I don’t know anything about the boy (Evans). If I see him now, I may not even recognise him. “It’s been a very long time I saw him last. He doesn’t come home or visit his maternal home.
So, what can I say about him? You know children have a way with their mothers. It’s possible she knows what Chidumeme (Evans) is into or not. It is the father or mother that can talk about their child. I don’t have anything to say, but I appeal to the authorities to have mercy on him and forgive him. “Children of this generation do not listen to advice; if not, why would he delve into such bad business, knowing the implications. It is because of money? See where it has got him.”
Although Nwosu insisted he didn’t know the whereabouts of his sister, he disclosed that when he heard the news of Evans’ arrest via a phone call, he called Chidumeme’s mother to find out what was going on but she didn’t pick the call. She also didn’t call back. Nwosu said that he had not been communicating with Chinwe for a long time because the woman did not reach out to them.
He said:
“I have not spoken with Chidumeme’s mother for a very long time and I don’t know where she is and what is happening around her. She should be up there in her husband’s house, but now I’m hearing she is not there. I don’t understand what is happening. It’s unfortunate and sad. She is just who she is. I have been sick and bed-ridden for a long time. I don’t go out at all hence; I don’t know what is happening around here.”
The long distance ride to Evans’ maternal home led to the discovery of a house allegedly built by Evans’ mother for one of her brothers.
The said brother is based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. However, the maternal home of the kidnap kingpin showed a quiet middle class home with a Rav 4 ‘Jeep’ parked in a garage. Evans’ father had earlier said that his estranged wife left her matrimonial home without telling anybody where she was going to.
Stephen also denied the rumour making the round that he divorced Evans’ mother. He said:
“I cannot divorce her because we took an oath on our wedding. The oath is that we will be together for better or worse, till death do us part.
Death is the only thing that can separate us. I did not also disown Evans as is being circulated. “He remains my son. If he is given a second chance and he returns home, I will welcome and accept him. It was sad I didn’t know what he was into; if not, I would have been the one to stop him, by bringing my friends in the force to arrest and torture him to stop.”
At a debate in the Senate, on the need for National Unity and Peaceful Coexistence in Nigeria, Politician and Founder of Silverbird Group, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, revealed that the Igbos who are currently saying they are marginalized, are the richest, most industrious and educated people in the country.
He added that it is important for Nigeria’s education system to teach young Nigerians about the ills of war.
He said:
“They say the Igbos were marginalized. They fought a war and they lost. Today, they are the most industrious people in the country. They are the richest Nigerians in the country today. They are one of the most educated people in Nigeria today, yet they feel marginalized. If you compare the Ibo man to the other sectors of the society, you would say the Igbos are very privileged because of what they have. Yet, a generation of Igbos say they are marginalized and they want to secede and want a Nation. A young generation of people who have never seen bloodshed, destruction, people being killed, amputated, families being divided, can surely think like that. But what have we done as a Nation to educate them about the destruction of what? Absolutely nothing”
Troops of 1 Division Nigerian Army have carried out clearance operation at Rijana forest, Kaduna State on Wednesday 14th June 2017 due to the disturbing resurgence of armed banditry and kidnappings along Abuja-Kaduna road.
The troops cordoned armed bandits’ camp at Rijana forest where they arrested the suspected notorious gang leader, Sani Ibrahim (alias Burtu), who has been on the declared wanted list of the Security Agencies in Kaduna State for a long time. The troops also recovered 1 motorcycle and 25 goats from the camp.
Similarly, troops mounted ambush along Zamfara State border with Kebbi State in which they neutralized 3 armed bandits and recovered 134 cows and 13 sheep. The operations are ongoing.
Nigerian actress, Oge Okoye, has fired back to trolls who accused her of enhancing her buttocks for the cam.
They accused her of being fake, wearing butt pads, after she took to Instagram to share a picture, with her backside looking rather bigger.
The 36-year-old UN Ambassador reposted the picture and defended herself in its caption.
She wrote:

A Ghanaian man, Andrew Boateng Gyimah has been arrested in Toronto, Canada for allegedly selling packaged rice as IPhone after police received reports of his scam from two individuals.
He met up with one of his victims in an area of Islington Avenue after the victim had seen an advert he put online.
Then he gave the victim a box in which he said contained the iPhone 6 but when the victim opened the box, all he found was grains of rice.
Another person came forward earlier to report that he had fallen victim to the same trick by the suspect.
He is currently facing two counts of false pretence under $5,000, two counts of breaching a court order and two counts of fraud under $5,000.
You have probably heard of the “sharp” dealers at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra who would sell bars of soap and other items to unwitting phone buyers.
It is as well common in some part of Lagos, Nigeria where people fall victims of buying ‘fufu’ instead of the gadget they had paid for.
Apple’s IPhones are highly sought after by many millennials and could set you back by about 550 dollars which is about 2,200 Cedis.

Controversial Senator Dino Melaye, has taken to his Instagram page to slam the Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello who said the lawmaker lacks parental care.
He called the governor, a compound fool on cheap drugs and referred to him as a natural liar who converted a known criminal to be a student.
He wrote:
Gov Bello is a compound fool on cheap drugs. He is a natural liar who converted a known criminal to be a student. He is afraid of anyone with rising profile,a characteristic of one suffering superiority complex and intellectual stagnancy. He is shooting the moon and boxing the wind. Yahaya Bello is suffering from chronic mental recklessness. He is a certificated financial scavenger and economic cankerworm. He will soon put on his befitting prison uniform. You must pay salaries and pension. The only devouring spirit ravaging Kogi State. Yeye Bello has more money and guns than sense while I have more sense than money. Olodo rabata.- SDM
Meanwhile, Speaking with state house correspondents after a closed door meeting with acting President Yemi Osinbajo, in Abuja on Wednesday, the governor had referred to Dino as a social deviant in a senate.
He said:
“I’d rather admonish Nigerians that when a child lacks proper parental care and home upbringing, he constitutes social menace in the society. And if the society does not take steps to check and correct such a child, he can turn into criminal and take into criminality. Then, it’ll be left to government to check such criminality. And if government does not, such a child can cause a serious embarrassment. That is what is happening in Kogi State.
Then, talking of the Senate, let me rather admonish the Senate that that is an institution held in a very high esteem and I think the Senate and indeed the National Assembly is made up of men of high calibre and integrity and good character. I think it is necessary that that wonderful House should as matter of urgency and as a matter of fact check any social deviant that exists within them before they could be adjudged birds of the same feather. I know they are not of the same feather. The good people of Okunland and indeed West Senatorial District have learnt from a bitter mistake of not taming and curbing that social deviant and they have decided to take lawful steps in recalling him,”.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, Nigerian Pastor and Founder of Kingsway International Christian Center located in the United Kingdom with branches in Nigeria, Matthew Ashimolowo, asked his church members to donate according to the number of years they have lived on earth so they can receive blessings from what he calls, ‘Seed of Glorious Expectation’.
He said:
“For every year you have lived on earth, I want you to give a N100… No sorry, a N1000 naira.
“If you have lived on earth for 35 years, you give N35,000. You have lived 60 years, you give N60,000.
“Those who are paying one thousand dollars to the left while those paying in naira to the right.
“Thousand dollars to the left, thousand naira to the right, those that are doing the both, to the middle.“Get out of your seats.”
Nigerian radio personality, DaddyFreeze, who has always frowned at the ways pastors in Nigeria become super rich and live flamboyant lifestyles, while their members suffer to pay tithe and offerings, reposted the video on his Instagram page.
He condemned the act saying that such a thing was unheard of in the Bible.
He wrote:
Nigerians, their IQ of 67 and their men of God.
–
Come and give a thousand dollars for every year you have lived???

Can you show me anywhere in the Bible where Jesus used this ‘fund raising’ approach? I remember 5 loaves and 2 fishes but 1000 dollars??????? ~FRZ

He scored 343 votes at the election conducted by Chief Pegba Otemolu-led national committee of the PDP.
The younger brother of late Isiaka Adeleke, Demola, on Wednesday emerged the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the July 8 bye election in Osun West Senatorial District.
Adeleke, who defected to the PDP from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday night, scored 343 votes at the primary election conducted by Chief Pegba Otemolu-led national committee of the PDP.
Two candidates – a former Minister of Youth Development, Senator Olasunkanmi Akinlabi, and a retired army colonel, Olayiwola Falabi, earlier cleared for the primary on Tuesday night, stepped down for Adeleke after he had shown intention to defect from the APC.
Adeleke was sole aspirant of the APC until his co-contestant, Mudashiru Hussain, who was earlier disqualified by the party”s screening committee was cleared by the APC National Working Committee.
It was gathered that Adeleke informed the APC of his intention to withdraw from the race, leaving Hussain as the sole candidate for Wednesday’s primary slated for Egbedore local government area of Osun State
In his remark after the exercise, Adeleke assured his supporters that the PDP would win the July 8 bye election, saying “we shall coast home to victory by the grace of God. Nothing can stop us. We are winning this election.”
The PDP Chairman in Osun State, Hon. Soji Adagunodo, said the primary was transparent.
He said: “You can see that we are open and transparent in our primary election. With the consensus candidate we are going to win July 8 bye election. We would have a landslide victory.
“Ademola Adeleke was our member before he joined the APC. Now he has come back. What happened today (Wednesday) is a sign of good thing to come in 2018 when we would win governorship election.”
Facebook user Bamigbaye Abisoye is over the moon as her boyfriend of four years asked her to be his wife recently.
The happy lady who graduated from the University of Jos and her boyfriend, DBoy, have been dating for 4 years. He recently proposed to her and she happily shared the details on her facebook page.
DBoy is a musician and the ring he gifted her with looks divine! The proposal was reportedly down without any of her family or friend’s knowledge and she wasted no time in saying YES when asked.
She said: “‘My baby, lover, best friend and boyfriend of four years just popped the question. It still feels like a dream cos it all started like a joke and of course I said yes. I love you baby.”
The mother of notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, who was recently arrested in Lagos, has reportedly gone into hiding to avoid the crowd that besiege her Umudim, Nnewi home in Anambra state after news of the arrest of her son filtered in.
Her disappearance coincided with the disclosure by the Obi of Umudim, his village, Chief Benneth Okafor, that the arrested kidnap kingpin was not known in his community as he hardly visited home, neither did he have any investment in the community.
Lady Nwosu, as Evan’s mother is popularly called, was described as a no nonsense woman. Contrary to insinuations from some quarters that her son bought her a car from the proceed of kidnapping; Vanguard gathered that she rides a lady motorcycle popularly called Nwanyi Nnewi.
She was also said to be assisting vendors sell their wares after which they pay her commission weekly. But when Vanguard arrived the canteen where she sells, she was said to have gone into hiding since Tuesday.
A woman who spoke on the condition of anonymity said:
“she went into hiding because people were trooping in to sympathise with her over the arrest of her son. Some came for different purpose; to make mockery of her and to see the face of the mother of the arrested kidnapper. Even you newsmen were troubling her. She has been crying since news of the arrest reached her. I do not know where she has gone to but I think it is good for her.”
Vanguard also visited Emmanuel Anglican Church Primary School, Akamili Umudim Nnewi, the primary school Evans attended. Headmaster of the school was, however, not on seat. A teacher that was accosted said he was not competent to speak on the matter.
Evans cries in cell – Police source
Also, police sources told Vanguard yesterday, that the suspect has been shedding tears since he was thrown into the cell lamenting that; “After making billions and living in mansions, I am in the cell with common criminals.” He was said to have been keeping to himself in the cell and avoids other detained persons.
We don’t know him — Nnewi monarch
When Vanguard visited Nnewi, the industrial city of Anambra state, yesterday, Evans’ arrest was the topic on everyone’s lips. Most of them, particularly traders, described his action as an embarrassment to the city, describing their indigenes as hard-working.
At his palace, the Obi of Umudim, Chief Okafor, stated; “I was told that he hardly came home. It is only the Akamili kindred where he comes from that will be able to give a little account of the young man. It is unfortunate that many people in this village do not know him because he does not have any investment in Nnewi like an average Nnewi man, neither does he own any house here.”
More facts emerge about the arrest
More facts emerged, yesterday, about the circumstances that led to the location of the residence of the kidnap kingpin leading to his arrest, last Saturday.
Sources attributed it to an informant residing in Magodo and intelligence reports that revealed identities of his three girlfriends.
It was gathered that after the Inspector-General of police deployed his Intelligence Response Team to track the notorious kingpin, they made huge progress from the documents recovered from his hideout in Igando, Lagos after the miraculous disappearance of his last victim. The documents reportedly aided them in identifying occupants of that apartment and opened an avalanche of information leading to Evans movement.
That was how they discovered that he lives at Magodo area of Lagos State, while other members were also residing in Lagos, Rivers, Abuja, Edo and Anambara States.
N30m IGP reward as a boost A source who spoke with Vanguard disclosed that the leader of IGP’s team, Abba Kyari, who was tracking their locations had planned to round-up all the suspects, in one swoop, but his plans failed as Evans was always changing locations, making it difficult to get his exact location.
The source who spoke with Vanguard on the condition of anonymity disclosed that, while Kyari was searching for Evans, and has also mobilized some residents of Magodo Estate, giving them clear descriptions of Evans, his vehicles and the name of his security man, IGP, Ibrahim Idris, also announced a bounty of N30million on information that could lead to the arrest of Evans.
This led to the rounding up of three women believed to be Evans girlfriends, and they were identified as Amaka, Ijeoma and Ngozi. The operatives were said to have discovered that Evans was very close to Amaka and he rented an apartment for her in Okota area of Lagos State.
Sources explained that Evans was fond of sleeping in Amaka’s house on a regular basis and they decided to use Amaka to lure him.
His plan to evade arrest
It was further gathered that fearing that Amaka may have been picked by the police, he avoided her as much as he could. However, one of the police informants in Magodo made a breakthrough as the IRT were banking on Amaka, and he called and informed the police that he has located Evans apartment.
He also disclosed that Evans has not been seen around his house for a long time and he was believed to have moved out of his house. Our source revealed that, Evans was highly elusive at this time and he was quite aware that the police were closing in on him and he moved away from his home and relocated to a hotel in Agidigingbi area of Ikeja adding that he also moved his wife and children to Ghana and was trying to dispose some of his properties at the time he was arrested.
The final straw
On the day he was arrested, according to sources, he was said to be unaware that operatives had located his apartment in Magodo, when he contacted Ama ka on Saturday morning. “He was said to have called her on the phone around 4:15am, without knowing that some policemen were with her and asked her to wait outside her compound to meet him.
She reportedly joined him later at the spot and as soon as she got into the car, he attacked her, threatening to kill her for not informing him about the police presence in her house. Evans was said to have gotten angry and drove away with her in his Grand Cherokee SUV and they had an accident at Iyana-Ipaja area where he abandoned the vehicle, seized Amaka’s phone and asked her to go home.

It was gathered that he told his interrogators he has two other detention camps in Lagos.He was also said to have confessed that he started off as an armed robber in Sokoto State.
The source said:
“He has been weeping uncontrollably because he is in a cell with common poor criminals despite all the wealth and mansions he owned.
“He has started talking. He has given us locations of other detention camps he had in Lagos. Aside Igando, he had two others and detectives would visit the place. He also said that his very first robbery was in Sokoto State and that they killed the victim.
“He is still being interrogated and more details would come out after the camps have been visited.”
Meanwhile, The Nation learnt yesterday that Evans has been excommunicated from Nnewi for over five years because of the terror he unleashed on wealthy indigenes of the town.
It was also learnt that his second in command, Felix Chinemerem, a native of Amanagu in Abia State, was also declared wanted in 2014, after his criminal activities led to the killing of many innocent people.
It was learnt that Chinemerem took part in the kidnap of a prominent Nigerian, which prompted policemen to storm the community and allegedly shot randomly, killing villagers.
After the incident, the villagers were said to have moved to kill him but he fled and had not been seen since then.

The media personality explained that he abandoned his plans to get married when there were demands from his ex-family to change from his weird ways, a personality that he says is getting him his daily bread.
“They said there would be a lot of terms and conditions, that I would have to behave a certain kind of way. I thought about it but when I was “normal”, I didn’t have money, if I am broke how will I pay bride price…the girl and I are still friends,” he told Guardian Life.
He also revealed that his unusual style caused him a lot of embarrassment before he got the fame. He said that he was even banished from coming to Church when he refused to change his ways.
“When I didn’t have a car, conductors would push me out of the buses and they would shout about a mad man on the loose when I was in Unilag people used to stone me with pure water…. I remember going home to cry, it wasn’t just the choir, they told me to stop coming to church, it was difficult,” he said.
When Hannah, a native of Benue State, moved in with Matthew a few years ago, she had hoped that they would become husband and wife.
After bearing three female children in quick succession for Matthew, the Tiv native had hoped earnestly that her fourth pregnancy would bring a male child, so that, perhaps, Matthew would do the needful and formally make her his wife.
But all those dreams are gone with the wind now, as the very man Hannah shared a bed with for years has just dispatched her to an early grave after a minor squabble over domestic chores.
Daily Sun gathered that the mother of three, who was eight months pregnant, was beaten to death by her lover on June 6, 2016, in their residence in Lugbe, an Abuja suburb, because she did not wash his clothes.
It was gathered the late Hannah, 30, had spent the greater part of that day at the ante-natal clinic, and by the time she returned home in the evening, she was too tired to do any chores.
Consequently, she had to postpone all the chores to the following day.
Unfortunately for Hannah, her lover, on his return from work, took offence that his clothes were not washed. The late mother of three was said to have explained and begged her man over her inability to wash his clothes on that particular day, promising to do the laundry the next day.
But all her pleas and explainations were like pouring water on a stone. Matthew promptly descended heavily on his lover. He pummelled her ceaselessly, until she gave up the ghost.
A former neighbour of the couple, Mrs. Precious Igbokwe, told Daily Sun how Matthew made life a living hell for the deceased because she gave birth to only female children.
“I lived close to their apartment as a single lady for over six years; we were close neighbours. Though they were not married legally as confirmed by Hannah, she was hopeful for the future. She really suffered much in the hands of that beast,” Igbokwe said.
She recalled that when the deceased delivered her last girl, her lover abandoned them at the hospital and stopped the neighbours from bathing the baby or assisting the mother.
“Thereafter, he continued maltreating them and calling the baby a bastard. He is a sadist. He doesn’t greet or respond to greetings from neighbours,” she added.
As soon as the incident occurred, Lugbe women took to the streets to protest the gruesome murder of Hannah, whom they described as a rare gem.
Speaking on behalf of Lugbe Women Community, Lan Musa, a native of Kogi State, expressed outrage over the death of the mother of three and called for a stop to domestic violence.
Musa, who has also suffered domestic violence, said Hannah’s death was the third incident of women who have been killed as a result of domestic violence in the locality.
She called on government to take a decisive stand to curb the ugly trend.
Similarly, a friend of the deceased, who she visited on the morning of the day she was killed, Mrs. Felicia Zira, told Abuja Metro with tears in her eyes that: “Hannah complained bitterly how her live-in-lover had been maltreating her for years, beating her uncontrollably, issuing threats to her life.”
“I adviced her to report the matter to her relatives or relevant authorities, like Ministry of Women Affairs, to tackle the domestic violence and stop its recurrence,” she said.
Another of the deceased’s neighbours, Mrs. Joy Ogu, said the the late Hannah lived in fear all through her co-habitation with Matthew, who she respected and adored.
According to her, “In a bid to make life meaningful for herself and children, she engaged in menial jobs in a nearby school, where she sneaked out every morning to clean without the knowledge of her husband, through which she was able to save N10,000 to enable her to set up petty business.
“Painfully, when she started selling kerosine and some foodstuff, he stopped giving them token for feeding, leaving her to worry about their upkeep.”
Ogu lamented that Hannah who desperately craved for a male child, did not live to birth her baby boy.
She said: “Our pastor and some members of the church took her to the mortuary, they evacuated the baby before taking her to the mortuary; they testified it was a handsome male child. What a tragic loss!
“I feel so bad that she died a painful death. Why would a man beat an eight-months-old pregnant woman as if he was in wrestling contest with his fellow man?
“Whitish substances were gushing out from her mouth and he saw her losing life, yet he continued beating her to accomplish his mission,” she said.
Spokesman for the FCT Police Command, ASP Usen Omorodion, confirmed that Matthew was in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department, noting that he would be arraigned in court soon.
“He is with us at the State CID for further investigation. However, we would arraign him in court next week for judgement,” the PPRO said.
A 19 year old girl identified as Ayomide Adebayo has been arrested for allegedly dumping her 2-months-old baby in a bush in Ikorodu.
Adebayo who is a secondary school cert holder was allegedly impregnated by one Martins Tewogbade, who lives in the Bariga area of the state.
She then gave birth on April 30 at a private hospital in the neighbourhood, but Tewogbade’s parents reportedly rejected the baby and she subsequently relocated with the child to a friend’s house in Igbode, Ogun State.
Adebayo reportedly approached one Mrs. Joke Fatai, a worker at a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in the town sometime in May 2017 and begged her to take custody of the child. The baby was in the care of Mrs Fatai, until Saturday, June 10, when Adebayo went to withdraw her.
She was said to have tied the baby’s mouth and nose, dumped her in the bush and returned to Bariga, telling people that the child was dead. It was learnt that the baby was found by some members of a vigilance group in the early hours of Sunday in a bush in Ikorodu and was later reunited with Fatai.
Adebayo was eventually traced to Bariga. A resident of Bariga, Yusuf Tolagbe, said an angry crowd wanted to beat up the mother, but for the intervention of a child rights organisation in the area, Child Protection Network.
He said,
“Adebayo’s mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Her father’s whereabouts is unknown. She was living with an elderly man. Last year, the man observed that she was pregnant.
After prodding her, she said it was Tewogbade, an apprentice, that impregnated her. But the boy’s parent did not accept the pregnancy, claiming that it belonged to a taxi driver, who they usually saw her with.”
The Coordinator, Child Protection Network, Toyin Okanlawon, said the mother and Tewogbade had been transferred to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command’s Headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos.
The spokesperson for the command, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said the police would work with the state government to ensure the safe custody of the baby, while Adebayo and Tewogbola were under investigations.
