Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) has recovered N5 million that fell off a bullion van on Lagos State House of Assembly Complex, Alausa, Ikeja.
The money is said to have been lost around November and December 2015.
Mr Taofik Adebayo, the Task Force Chairman, Olayinka Egbeyemi, disclosed that two police officers attached to the agency recovered the money.
According to Egbeyemi, the two police officers namely Sergeant Ogunbiyi Agbabu and Inspector Eheziekia Abiona, disclosed that a bullion van drove pass them while they were on duty at the agency’s headquarters and something fell down which was later discovered to be N5 million.
The chairman, while commending these officers, disclosed that similar thing was done to him when he was Divisional Police Officer (DPO) at Ilupeju Police Station where he won an award for returning $130,000 and 50,000 pounds to owners of a bullion van where the money was stolen.
He thereby implored appropriate authority, especially the Police Authority and Lagos State Government to give commendation to these rare officers for their honesty and integrity so as to encourage others.
Egbeyemi, however, stated that any bullion van that drove through Lagos State House of Assembly Complex around November to December 2015 with a missing N5 million should come forward with a strong cogent proof of ownership of the money.
A video hit the Internet on Monday showing a black woman confronting a white man wearing dreadlocks and accusing him of ‘appropriating’ her culture.
The incident occurred at San Francisco State University.
In the clip, the man defends his hairstyle by stating the style comes from Egypt and says to the woman, “Are you Egyptian? Nah.”
The woman then asks him what continent Egypt is on. Things get a little physical as he tries to walk away and she grabs his sleeve to continue making her point.
“I don’t need your disrespect,” the man replies as he walks away. The woman then asks the person with a camera why they are filming, and blocks its view with her hands.
Check out the altercation below. Whose side are you on?
When big men do stuffs like this, you just smile or chuckle… Cause it’s cool!
World’s richest man, Bill Gates shared a tweet revealing that he learnt a lot from students of Delaware State University which were not all school -related.
In what is seemingly a normal selfie has got people freaking after it was discovered what was creepy about the photo.
Although the photo you see above seems to be a realistic normal picture of a man and a woman… but looked at full glance, there’s something abruptly wrong!!
Eagle-eyed tweeps spotted something very creepy reflecting in the glass door behind the man and woman. Rather than showing the back of the woman’s head – it shows her face looking directly at the camera.
Full pic below:
The picture was uploaded on twitter and had tweeps freaking out, with one tweeting:“i honestly thought it was just a nice everyday pic but f**k no lol” while another tweeted:“NAH that is some paranormal activity s**t” and one replied: “LOL demonic”
A Lagos-based interior designer, Stephen Akams, is currently on admission at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital with a damaged eye.
The 41-year-old man said a medical result he would get on Thursday (tomorrow) would determine whether he would see clearly again with his left eye or not.
According to PUNCH Metro, Akams was battered last Thursday, March 24, along the Benin bypass, Edo State, by some policemen numbering about seven while he was returning from an assignment in Enugu State.
It was learnt that four of the policemen were in a vehicle ahead of a commercial car conveying the artisan. The police van was allegedly in the middle of the road, moving at a slow speed when the driver of the car signalled to overtake it by blowing the horn.
It was, however, said that the policemen refused to give way for the driver. Akams, who spoke with the publication on the telephone, said he also signalled at the policemen when the blockade persisted, but they took offence and flagged down the car.
He said:
“Our driver was driving at a speed limit of about 70 kilometres per hour, but the police vehicle was going slower in the middle of the road.
“In an effort to go past the vehicle, our driver sounded the horn, but the driver, who eventually turns to be a policeman, started abusing us.
“When we managed to go past them, I signalled at the driver of the vehicle to caution him. That was when they started chasing us and overtook us. One of the guys at the back seat pulled a gun and threatened to shoot if we didn’t stop.
“We were not sure who they were, so we decided to reverse and that was when we discovered that another white vehicle was following us.
They trapped us between them. They came down with their guns – about six or seven of them – and dragged me out of the vehicle. They accused me of insulting police officers and beat me up.”
He said the policemen turned down his entreaties, bundled him inside the boot of their car, and whisked him away into a bush.
“They asked me to bring N100,000 for them to release me. I told them I didn’t have the money. After they had driven for about two miles with me in the boot, they parked and brought me out and started beating me again. When one of them saw the hand band my friend’s daughter made for me and another one I bought in Ghana in 2012, they said I was a cultist.
“I refutted the claim and the beating continued. They brought handcuffs and threatened to take me to the Department of Criminal Investigation. One of them brought a fan belt and repeatedly hit me in the head.”
The Delta State indigene explained that the policemen fled the area after the belt hit him in the eye and he became unconscious. He added that it was the driver of the car he boarded that trailed him to the scene and took him to the hospital.
“It was the fan belt that hit my left eye and caused serious damage. I am still on admission at UBTH with blurred vision and in serious pain. I cannot see much with the eye and I am not sure when I am leaving the hospital because of the injury. The doctor said I would know my fate on Thursday (tomorrow),” he said
Akams told the publication that policemen at the Ugbowo division near UBTH directed him to the state police command when he reported the incident.
The Edo State Police Command spokesperson, Abiodun Osifo, said he was not aware of the case and promised to get back to the publication.
He said:
“I am not aware of the incident, but it cannot be true. The policemen cannot whisk him away to the bush. I will make enquiries and get back to you.”
Osifo had, however, yet to do so as of press time.
Curvilicious media personality, Toolz Oniru Demuren, looked like she could steam up a Sauna bathroom with her smoking hot body as he hung out with her friends in London.

Photos have emerged online of a naked high school teacher in Guangxi province trying to rape a female student on campus. The incident occurred around noon time on March 28 at Taiping High School in Lingshan County.
People’s Daily Online reports that teachers immediately intervened and managed to free the student from the 30-year-old male teacher, surnamed Huo. The victim reportedly suffered no injuries.
The Publicity Department of Lingshan County released a statement confirming the incident. It said Huo has a suspected mental illness and works in the laboratories of the school.
The statement said the teacher had received treatment in 2011 for psycotic episodes, however after two years he was declared fit to return to work.
The school chose to base Huo in the laboratory and said he would not be allowed to teach classes. For the past five years he has performed well in his role.
After the incident, faculty immediately called the police and informed the man’s family who took him to the hospital for treatment.
Speaking during a phone interview with Kyle Sandilands and Jackie Henderson, Scott said:
‘She like my best friend, I’ll love her to the day I die.’ ‘I don’t think anything is ever simple I’m not the first person in the world that has gotten separated from their significant other.’ We’re just trying to make the best of it and life goes on. Things aren’t easy but things are going very well. I’m just happy that we are able to be on good terms.’
When the star was asked if he thought that he might get back together with Kourtney Scott said:
‘I never thought a lot of things were going to happen in my life the way that they did. I’m don’t really rule anything out. I have no plans in my mind of what’s going to happen. If things are meant to be maybe they will be. I really don’t know yes or know.’
When asked if he wanted things to get back to normal he added:
‘I’m normal. There were things we both needed to work on as of right now we’re in a good place, I don’t think either of us want more than where we’re at.’
He also denied claims he was in a new relationship and when questioned about being pictured with an unidentified female he said:
‘It’s unfortunate you can’t have friends in this day and age.’
Precisely eight days after he was admitted to bail, Yunusa Dahiru a.k.a Yellow is yet to meet his bail conditions.
Justice Nganjiwa had admitted Yunusa to bail on stringent conditions of N3 million and two sureties in like sum, resident within the jurisdiction of the court.
Also one of the sureties must be a title holder, while the second person must be civil servant on Grade Level 12 or above.
The bail conditions also stipulated that the two sureties must submit their three years tax clearance receipts and that the defence counsel must sign an undertaking that the accused would not jump bail.
Investigations indicated that the defence team and Dahiru family have been battling to meet the bail conditions so that Yunusa can leave the Okaka Prison before the April 19 adjourned date, Sunnews online reports…
Frantic efforts to meet the bail conditions have been largely unsuccessful as there is nobody willing to sign the bail bond.
At the Okaka Prison where he is being remanded, Yunusa, who is now emaciated is said to be deeply worried over failure of his family to meet the bail conditions after the court admitted him to bail.
It was learned that if the week runs out and the bail conditions are not met, the defence counsel might be forced to go back to the Court and ask for a variation of the bail conditions.
If you recall, Yunusa was arrested over the abduction of 15 year old Ese from Bayelsa. She is said to be 5 months pregnant and though his family claims they eloped out of love, her family claims otherwise.
Today, Danagog who signed to Davido’s HKN label in 2014 took to Instagram to apologise for insulting Wizkid’s on-and-off girlfriend Tania Omotoya, and it has us scratching our heads.
“I would like to apologize for my inappropriate behavior,” the singer said, adding, “It was meant to be a freestyle to laugh about, I would never disrespect a woman.”
“I realized my mistake and I would like to seek for Miss@taniaomotayo forgiveness,” the upcoming ‘Hookah’ continued in the remorseful post, “Once again please accept my sincere apologies.”
And then he declared Tania Omotayo his Woman Crush Wednesday.
Well, save for one fan who said he didn’t need to apologise for whatever he said, others, like me, are wondering what exactly he said. A quick check online reveals no trace of the said freestyle, and his latest single, ‘Hookah’, is mildly successful.
And so, the questions is this: If you insulted someone and no one heard it, did you really insult them? Or even need a public apology?
We can’t wait to read Tania Omotayo’s response to this.
Yesterday,YBNL boss, Olamide took to his Snapchat to call unknown persons begging him to help with some favours. “Don’t frustrate another person pikin,” the ‘Bobo’ rapper wrote on Snapchat. “Bug your parents, at least they brought you to this world.”
The rapper didn’t name names, but fans wonder if the messages are targeted at folks piling his IG comment section with pleas for money, or to get signed on to his YBNL Records.
“And some bugging ass dude ruining my day too,” he continued, adding, “I’m chasing my dreams, chase yours. I’m hungry too.”
And this is not the first time the rapper would be calling out ‘beggars’ on social media. Last August, he was forced to lash out at fans barraging him with similar comments on IG. “Stop waiting for a godfather, stop being a liability. Go hawk pure water in traffic!” He wrote.
There was confusion around Aga area of Ikorodu in Lagos State, on Monday, as the skeleton of a missing 46-year-old man, Sikiru Yussuf, was found in his apartment.
Residents of the building have been invited by the police for interrogations but the state police public relations officer could not confirm any arrest, the Nigerian Tribune reports..
The skeleton of Yussuf was found in his one-room and a parlour apartment at 46, Jaiyesinmi Street, Aga area of Ikorodu.
The landlady had invited the deceased man’s elder brother to come and witness the forceful opening of the apartment, when the skeleton was discovered.
The elder brother, Basiru Yussuf, who later reported the incident at Ikorodu divisional police station, had gone to the scene with the hope of evacuating his younger brother’s belonging from the apartment.
Lagos Metro gathered that many residents of the area had for many months thought that the deceased had absconded from the area. A resident of Aga area of Ikorodu, who spoke with Lagos Metro under the condition of anonymity, described the death as mysterious.
“I was surprised at the discovery. I don’t t know how the residents would not observe that a body was decomposing in that house. The police have invited some people in connection with the incident but the death is still a mystery,” the resident said.
The Lagos police image maker also stated that policemen from the police station had visited the scene, taken photographs and examined the scene of incident.
She assured that the police in the state would properly investigate the incident after the autopsy.
How risky is this? Fine, he must have caught the crocodile or something but would he want the crocodile to catch him too? As I’ve seen in Discovery channels and wild animals documentaries, Crocodiles are known to be very aggressive.
Well, he’s African… and Africans are known to be dauntless when it comes to wild animals… But this is just too risky and there’s even a kid next to him!.

P-Square’s latest drama has come to an end and like most drama, a lot of deductions can be made from them.
Let’s take a look at the 10 big things to note after P-Square’s public spat.
1. Their parents’ death have further set them apart from one another.
Since the death of P-Square’s parents, they have been involved in several unnecessary drama. Industry commentators believe their parents were the key to their unity in the good old days.
2. There is no unity among the brothers and may still eventually break up. Let’s face it, the reality is P-Square won’t be around for many more years. Their next drama might be the last, maybe after another album.
3. Peter is the aggressor, and will always be the warring partner in the group.
Peter never agrees with his brothers. He is the opposition in the group, something like PDP right now
Fashionista actress, Mercy Aigbe has come out to set the record straight concerning her outburst at Thisday Style after they didn’t include her in their Nollywood’s Best Dressed list.
The actress stated that it had nothing to do with being best dressed, but the fact that Yoruba actors are not regarded as part of Nollywood.
Speaking to Encomium magazine, she said:
Why will I be fighting because I was not on the list of the best dressed actresses of any paper or magazine? After all, I don’t dress because I want anybody to rate me. I only try to wear whatever suits me at every occasion. So, the point I was trying to make has nothing to do with best dressed list. “My observation for quite some time has always been that those of us in the Yoruba movie sector are always being underrated.
They have this erroneous impression that we’re not educated, so we should be treated as ‘rass’, local and second class actors. We’re not worthy of being celebrated. So, I am still asking, is it because we’re doing indigenous movies and that’s why we are being denied robust media attention being enjoyed by our counterparts in the English movie sector?
“They rarely address us as Nollywood stars, instead prefer calling us Yoruba movie stars. I think this is the right time for those who came up with the Nollywood identity to come out and tell us if Yoruba actors are not included so that we can also form our own wood. Or those categorizing us are the ones creating an impression that we’re inferior because we’re into Yoruba movies. I think there should be an end to this embarrassment. Imagine publishing a list of the best Nollywood actors and not even one Yoruba actor was there. Or are they saying we’re not worthy of being celebrated?”
Despite his penchant for predicting disasters, Nigerian ‘Prophet’ T.B. Joshua has finally unveiled a prophecy with ‘good news’.
A video has surfaced online claiming Joshua foretold the hijack situation that unfolded in Egypt in the early hours of Tuesday 29th March, countering insinuations that the cleric’s controversial predictions only concern ‘doom’ and ‘gloom’.
“I am seeing a balloon – it was hijacked and people were inside,” Joshua is seen telling his congregation in an undated video, describing a scenario that would result in ‘Breaking News’ worldwide.
“But at the end of the day, they were able to rescue the balloon and the people… they will not be able to blow anything,” he continues, followed by heavy applause from the congregation
Joshua then led his members in a prayer of thanksgiving for the impending ‘rescue’ and ‘victory’.
The prophecy allegedly concerns the explosive events that occurred when a man hijacked EgyptAir flight MS181 carrying at least 55 passengers from Alexandria to Cairo on Tuesday morning, forcing it to land in Cyprus.
Most passengers were released immediately but at least seven people, including crew members, were forcibly kept on the plane by the hijacker who claimed to be wearing a suicide belt which he threatened to detonate.
The crisis eventually drew to a conclusion several hours later as the remaining hostages began to cautiously emerge from the plane, one making a dramatic jump from a cockpit window.
The suspected hijacker then appeared with his hands up, subsequently being arrested.
Joshua made headlines for another prediction last week when Emmanuel TV’s official YouTube channel released a video claiming he predicted the tragic terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium which led to the deaths of over 31 people.
Malawian President Peter Mutharika also publicly mocked Joshua for allegedly predicting his impending death, although no substantial evidence was provided to show such a prophecy was ever made.
Nigeria have been dumped out of the qualifiers for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) after going down 1-0 to Egypt in Alexandria.
This makes it two consecutive Afcon misses for the Super Eagles and three in the last four events following continental blackouts 2012, and 2015.
The Samson Siasia-led side needed nothing short of a win to go through after being held to a 1-1 draw by the Pharaohs at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, last Friday, but were undone by a 65th minute goal from Ramadan Sobhy.
The Al Ahly midfielder prodded home from 16 yards after a goalmouth scuffle when the Eagles defence failed to clear a Mohamed Salah corner-kick.
It was a fairly open game in Alexandria as both sides played on the front foot, but Hector Cuper’s men carved out the clearer chances with stand-in eagles goalie Daniel Akpeyi pulling off a double-save in the first-half to keep the game scoreless.
But as the game wore out, the hosts made the most of Nigeria’s defensive lapses with Sobhy’s sucker punch, while Victor Moses came closest to getting an equaliser with a shot off the post after 84 minutes.
Siasia threw on Arsenal teenager Alex Iwobi in the dying stages but the harm was already done, and the three-time African Champions will have to wait a little longer before rubbing shoulders with the continent’s finest again.

Brazilian officials have refused to let a couple give their daughter a Yoruba name because, ‘it makes no sense”in Portuguese ..Cizinho Afreeka and wife Juliana desired to name their daughter “Makeda Foluke.” This is because they have roots with the Yoruba culture.
BW of Brazil reports that officials at the registration office declined stating it could provide possible future suffering for the person in social life.”
Despite their explanation, Foluke’s parents believe that the real reason their daughter’s chosen name was denied was because of racism.
The child’s father, Afreeka, said
“It’s a form of racism that takes place in Brazil: the racism of subtleties,” “It should be very natural a man and a Black woman adopting an African name, as the country is made up of three races. It is difficult to prove. Only those in this skin knows.”
In response, officials have denied racism comes into play.Their report reads
“The prosecutor’s office issued an opinion against the use of the name because they considered it likely to cause future problems for the child, suggesting a pre-name was added to the other names…such as Ana Maria Makeda or something like this.
When you pronounce the name in Portuguese it makes no sense at all, except for coming out wrong, which could provide possible future suffering for the person in social life.
Luiz Fernando, a civil registration official, said.
“The procedure is necessary with any name that can be used to leave the child in a vexatious situation or bullying. You have to filter.
These procedures are normal, no one refused to do the registration,” “It is not the name, not the meaning. It’s pronunciation, diction. Racism is really in people’s minds.”
The officials asked the couple give Makeda a more European-sounding first name. Then they could use Foluke as her middle name. However, little Makeda’s parents aren’t having it.
Makeda’s parents are left with no choice but to appeal to a judge to see if they can officially give her an African name.
“I will keep on until the end,”Afreeka said. “Either it will be Makeda Foluke or she’ll be with no registration.”

Four persons have been reported dead yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, after an accident at Uncle Joe on the Mokola-Sango Road occurred.
It was gathered that a survivor, a woman, is on danger list with a broken leg.
The Nation reports that the five victims, comprising three men and two women, were reportedly coming from a night club alongside others in two cars.
Eyewitnesses said the three cars were speeding from Dugbe to Sango when a blue Toyota Corona, marked Lagos EKD 470BJ, lost control while trying to overtake the other cars at 5.15am.
The car reportedly collided with a concrete wall in the middle of the road. Four of the victims -a woman and the three men- died on the spot.
A source said some bottles of alcoholic wine were recovered from the car. It was gathered that it took Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) officials, policemen and other sympathisers an hour before the bodies could be recovered from the mutilated car.
The State FRSC spokesperson, Oluwaseun Onijala, said three male adults died.
