Deadly Robbers Storm Lagos; Kill One, Rape Three Ladies

More than 20 armed robbers invaded several streets at the popular Isale-Oja area of Agege, Lagos State on Sunday. In their wake, the bad guys left sorrow, tears and blood. The bandits shot dead a father of two and molested three ladies.

The daredevil robbers, who started their operation from Capitol Road, raided over 30 buildings in different areas and dispossessed victims of valuables. Residents of some of the streets said the robbers operated unchallenged for hours. 

They called police, but no policeman came until the robbers left.

A resident said that the father of two, Usman Muhammed, 30, would have been alive if but for his attempt to stab one of the robbers. One of the bandits shot him. The bullet which killed Muhammed hit a lady in the compound.

The lady, identified as Rabi, is battling to stay alive at a private hospital. A resident said: "The robbers, numbering over 20, stormed the streets in commercial buses and started operation from Capitol Road.

"The robbers killed Muhammed after collecting N32,000 from him. They moved to Akerele and Papa Uku streets in the same community where they molested and robbed residents.” 

Muhammed’s widow, Hauwa, recalled her husband’s last moments. She said: “About 12:24am, we heard someone knocking on our door. We were surprised. My husband asked who was there, but the person didn’t answer My husband went and opened the door. He saw the armed robbers. They were four at the door. One of them pointed his gun at my husband. We later heard that others were outside, waiting.

They followed my husband into our apartment.” Hauwa explained that after the bandits gained entry into their apartment, they demanded Muhammed’s money and her own jewellery.
She said: “My husband and I handed over the money and the jewellery. Just as they were leaving, my husband dashed into the kitchen, brought a knife and attempted to stab one of the robbers. It was at that point they shot him in the stomach.” Muhammed’s shooting took place in the corridor of the building.

The bullet killed Muhammed and also hit Rabi who was inside her apartment. A resident said: “We rushed Muhammed to two private hospitals in the community, but he was rejected. He died on the way to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).”

The residents urged the government to do something about security. Mr Kunle Idowu of Papa Uku Street, said: “They robbed at Capitol Road before coming to our street. My house is close to the main road.

"The robbers were fully armed and came prepared. They called names of prominent people in the community. They said they came to collect what belonged to them. We couldn’t sleep. It was like a war zone. Every tenant lost one or two of their valuables.

“Three of our girls in the community were molested when the robbers could not get anything from their parents. Government should come to our rescue. We can’t walk freely at night.” 

In fact, another resident of Akerele Street said he is angry with the police for failing to do their job.

According to him, when they got wind that the robbers were around, they quickly called the phone number of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Isoko Police Station, but the police did not come until the robbers left. 

When contacted, Lagos Police PRO, DSP Joe Offor said he has not received information on the incident.

Here's How Buhari Can Avoid Falling Into Jonathan’s Mistakes

Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s greatest undoing was silently nursing a second term bid early in his first term. That ensured that most of his actions were dictated by the need not to offend those who would help him secure that his second term. In spite of his efforts, he still did not get that second term.

Compare that to ex-Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State. In his first term, he worked like someone who did not care about a second term. Indeed, he was reported as having promised earlier that he would not go for a second term.

Because he was not angling for a second term, he was bold to step on toes... 

He did what the people wanted. Consequently, he won the hearts of those who mattered most: the electorate. When his godfather, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, fell out with him before the 2011 elections and there were rumours that he would drop Fashola, Lagosians geared up to vote in Fashola even if he contested on the ticket of XYZ party! Tinubu read the handwriting on the wall and knew that he would be demystified if he denied Fashola a second term ticket and he moved over to another party and still won the 2011 governorship election in Lagos State. He resolved the issue he had with Fashola and allowed him to complete his second term.

President Muhammadu Buhari should copy that and not allow what happened to Jonathan to happen to him. Already, his actions reek of a President who is more concerned about winning the 2019 election than someone who wants to make radical changes in governance. First, his ministerial list was more of what many people called a “reward list” than a ministerial list.

Second, he has virtually looked away from touching any party man on the issue of corruption except Bukola Saraki who went against the decision of the party by getting himself elected the Senate President. Through his ministerial nominees, he rewarded some party members who worked for him in spite of the question marks over some of them.

Jonathan is naturally an easygoing person but his quest for a second term made him too eager not to step on any toes. People did what they liked, said what they liked, including threatening the security of the nation, but he let them be, because obviously he did not want to anger those who could help his re-election.

When the immigration recruitment tragedy occurred in March 2014, everyone expected that he would act immediately by relieving the Minister of Interior, Mr Abba Moro, of his job. But he did not act. The anger of the people raged. The bereaved and injured mourned. What was Jonathan protecting? It was rumoured that Moro was nominated by a powerbroker. Probably, Jonathan did not want to hurt that powerbroker. But what would he have lost if he had sacked Moro and told the powerbroker to send three fresh names to him to choose one as Moro’s replacement?

In the case of Ms Stella Oduah, the Minister of Aviation, the same scenario played out in 2014. Even though it was alleged that those who lost out in the aviation sector due to some actions taken by Oduah were after her, yet there was a scandal over the price of the two BMW cars. Perhaps, she was wrong in the bulletproof cars’ purchase, perhaps she was not. Recently, a similar case played out over the high cost of creating a website as well as drilling a borehole, etc, during the term of Fashola as Lagos State governor. Fashola told the Senate during his screening that he did not sign cheques. Interestingly, many of those who criticised Oduah applauded Fashola for “lecturing the Senate.” So, whether Oduah was wrong or right, the reality was that there was an outcry of corruption against her. 

To ensure that his government did not inherit that corruption tag, Jonathan could have had a private discussion with Oduah, asked her to resign immediately, while assuring her of giving her another position later, if he was convinced she did no wrong. That would have doused the indignation in the land and shown that he was not condoning corruption. But Jonathan seemed more concerned about a second term. He did not want to hurt Oduah, who anchored the “Neighbour to Neighbour” campaign to get him elected in 2011 and could be useful in 2015.

Even in the war against Boko Haram, he seemed afraid of being accused of killing the northerners. So, he was too cautious of dealing with Boko Haram. To ensure that the image of being anti-North in the fight against insurgency was completely eliminated, he made his National Security Adviser, Minister of Defence, Chief of Defence Staff, and Inspector General of Police all Northerners.

The irony was that because he did not want to hurt anyone so as to be given a second term, Jonathan ended up being painted in uncomplimentary colours which ended up making him lose that same second term he desired.

Buhari has already started acting like Jonathan. Even without his first term taking off fully, he has started showing that he seems more concerned about not offending his party men than offending Nigerians who would determine whether he gets a second term or not in 2019. During his British Broadcasting Corporation interview in which he explained the rationale behind his appointments, he made it clear that he appointed those who had been loyal to him from his All Nigeria People’s Party and the Congress of Political Change days contrary to the claim of his supporters that he appointed people based on merit. His ministerial appointments followed the same trend. The unnecessary fight over Mr Chibuike Amaechi was also another sign that he was more concerned about not offending those who worked for his election, so that they will also work for his second term in 2019.

Why, for example, would the President not publicly protest the choice of Abubakar Audu and Timipre Sylva as the governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress for Kogi and Bayelsa states respectively? What has Buhari got to lose? Even if the APC loses those two states, it still does not make the party the opposition. The APC does not need to control all the states in Nigeria to be the ruling party. But showing that he does not support the choice of the two people who have corruption question marks may anger some party men but would help him worm his way into the hearts of the electorate who matter at elections.

Also, the Halliburton case affords him a good opportunity to show that he is not afraid of stepping on big toes, but he has shot himself in the foot by saying that he would not investigate any corruption case that happened before the Presidency of Jonathan. But beneath that excuse is the fact that those fingered in the Halliburton case supported his presidential election.

The most powerful statement Buhari has made as President is: “I belong to nobody.” It energised the people and filled them with hope that their President would not be held captive like most of their past presidents. That statement should be his guiding principle. It may anger those who worked for his electoral victory but he will get both those who supported his 2015 presidential ambition and those who did not support him on his side.

If Buhari continues protecting the interest of his party and those loyal to him as he is doing, by 2019, he will be seen as one of Nigeria’s presidents who tried their best but could not achieve spectacular results. Any Nigerian president who wants to be remarkable and outstanding must do two things: One. Forget about winning a second term and concentrate on stepping on toes and undertaking radical changes; Two. Make up his mind that he may lose his life in the process of stepping on toes and taking radical actions. Such a President will not be killed in office but will most likely get a second term.

But can Buhari be that type of President? Only Buhari can answer that question.

Here Are the Agenda for Amaechi as Minister of Transportation

*Rivers APC Urges Prompt Action On P/H, Abuja and Lagos Airports 

*Revival of Rail System and Attention to Maritime SectorThe Rivers State Chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has congratulated its leader, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, on his appointment as Minister of Transport but hastened to direct his attention to issues requiring urgent attention as the man saddled with running the strategically important ministry.

“We heartily congratulate our leader on his meritorious appointment as Honourable Minister of Transport while at the same time extending our heartfelt gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for his confidence in Amaechi. We wish to assure Mr. President and all Nigerians that Amaechi, who has a track record of performance, will deliver even beyond expectations if given the necessary cooperation,”

Rivers APC said in a statement signed by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya. 

Drawing Amaechi’s attention to some of the most pressing problems that deserve his attention, Rivers APC noted that he is assuming office as Minister of Transport at a time when the Port Harcourt International Airport is rated as the worst in the world and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, the seventh worst on the African continent, while the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, is ranked 10th worst on the continent. “This is not acceptable to us and we wish that Amaechi quickly corrects this shameful anomaly imposed on us by the immediate past visionless administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and his misguided Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” the party said.

Continuing, the party said: “Amaechi is coming in as the Transport Minister at a time when the railway system is moribund and the maritime sector in a chaotic state. We know what Amaechi is made of and we expect him not only to turn around the fortunes of the railways but also to do same to the maritime sector.”

The party appealed to all Rivers people and the entire Nigerian population to accord Minister Amaechi all the support and prayers he needs to enable him translate his magic wand exhibited at the state level to the national level for the benefit of all Nigerians. It equally congratulated the 35 other ministers and called on Nigerians to give them every needed cooperation to deliver and make Nigerians feel the positive change promised by APC.

See How Floyd Mayweather Is Wasting Money On Nude Girls

Do you know why the Black Man still remains a Black Monkey and like a mugu to the White Man? This is one of such clear example. When an average white man makes money, he thinks of how to make society better. The one who hasn't made money thinks of how to invent something to better society.

But when an average black man makes money, the first thing that comes to his HEAD is party and sex. If he has no money, he thinks of drugs or 419 to make money. When will blacks ever be wise?

Floyd Mayweather says, "My Life is the Shit". See more photos from his party with the girls...

We are in 2015, yet no black man has been able to stay in his country and invent anything meaningful that the entire world can use and benefit from. We really need to change our perspective to money. Sad!

Lagos Babe Accused Of Duping "Rich Lover" Reacts; Exposes The Man & His Lies (DETAILS)

A man who claimed to be Mr Ajayi released information some weeks back to the media that a Lagos babe and some of her family members defrauded him with the pretense that she was ready to marry him and he was sending money for her upkeep and eventually send a total of N5m to her to buy a land for him. But, according to him, rather than buy the said land, she got married to another man.

Anyway, two persons from the lady's family had contacted OluFamous.Com on this issue to try and set the records straight but "Ajayi" has been missing. Read the lady's comprehensive response below:

RE: Fake Love: Lagos Babe Dupes Her Rich Lover of N5.3m

I wish to respond to the above captioned publication purportedly written by one Mr Ajayi, which was a deliberate and calculated effort by a man to tarnish my image and rubbish that of my highly respected and responsible family members for no justifiable reasons. 

The real name of the man masquerading as Mr Ajayi is Marcel Nwabanwanne Chilokwu (a.k.a. Marcel Mark) who according to him lives in Senegal. He is from Anambra State.

My first contact with him was via Facebook, where we became friends. He proposed to marry me. I requested that if he was serious about that he should come over to meet me in Lagos so that we can talk things over, and thereafter he should meet some of my relations. He actually came over to Lagos, where he met my maternal uncle, Pastor Dayo Ajisafe who is a father figure to me, in his Ikeja office. He talked to us and counselled us. We thereafter met with my elder brother, Mr Tajudeen Oruku in his house, who equally gave us his own counsel.

In all these meetings there was no any discussions about money, business, land transaction or any pecuniary matter whatsoever. And no money changed hands. He thereafter returned to Senegal. However we remained in contact for sometime afterwards.

Not long after I began to notice some untoward behavior from Mr Marcel. He bullied me on phone, he hacked into my Facebook Account and sent messages to my contacts, abusing the male contacts of dating me. The embarrassment became so much, that I took a decision to brake the relationship. Because all those character traits I noticed were danger signals for any meaningful relationship.

I thereafter moved on and got married to my present husband. But when he got to know that I have been married to another man, he called me to threaten me. He actually threatened among other actions to blackmail me and my family. But I did not imagine that this is how he was going to carry it out.

I wish to state categorically that we never had any discussion concerning land transaction, neither did I collect the sum of N5,300,000 or any sum whatsoever from him to buy land for him or for any other purpose. Mr Marcel was only carrying out on a vengeance mission against me for turning down his marriage proposal!

If he has any proof to the contrary let him bring them forward. I am not in hiding, (like him that is hiding using fictitious name) if indeed I collected such sum from him he should come to get me and prosecute me and take positive steps to retrieve his money.

While our friendship lasted the only sum which he freely gave me was an amount that was less than N50,000, which he sent to me through money gram at two different occasions. My identity card, bank account details, and pictures which he made reference to were criminally obtained by him, as I did not give this informations and documents to him at any time neither did I receive any money from him through the bank account. This is a verifiable fact through the bank.

In the continuation of his plethora of lies and fabrications against me, he said the FBI, DSS and EFCC are now involved in this matter. It is all lies, I don't have any issue with any security outfit, if there is any truth in his claim I should have been in their custody as I have never been in hiding.

Another clear pointer to the fact that he is lying is his claim that he involved FBI, an American domestic security and intelligence agency to handle a domestic affair in Nigeria ! FBI is an American domestic agency, there is no way they can be involved in a matter in Nigeria.

I am more pained by fact that he tried to tarnish the hard earn reputations of my respected family members, especially that of Pastor Dayo Ajisafe, a respected community leader, a senior pastor of a reputable religious organization and a retired senior public officer, whose only 'sin' against Mr Marcel was that they gave him audience when he came to visit them.

It is my belief that every discerning mind can filter the truth from the lies in this matter.
I and my family members especially the individuals he mentioned their names in the publication are already consulting with our lawyer with a view to take legal action of both criminal and civil litigation against this Mr Marcel.
