Fake Police Officer Nabbed With Bags of "Igbo"


The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a fake Superintendent of Police, George Oliseh, with 10 bags of weed suspected to be cannabis (Igbo).

The suspect, who wore police uniform and had an identity card which bore the rank, was reportedly arrested on Sunday at Sagamu, Ogun State, while bringing the bags of hemp from Owo, Ondo State, in his Toyota Camry car.

He was arrested alongside one Isaac Ishicheli, who claimed to be his brother-in-law.

Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, on Wednesday at the command’s headquarters at Eleweran in Abeokuta, paraded Oliseh along with 37 suspected armed robbers, cultists, murderers, and a fraudster

Sixty-four-year-old Oliseh said it was poverty and frustration that forced him into the illicit business, adding that he had to take care of 23 children and five wives.

He explained that he was a policeman, adding that after he was dismissed from the force, he suffered partial stroke on the left hand and leg.

He said he became a commercial driver plying Idanre and Akure. He stated that he met a hemp dealer, named Inspector Umukoro, now late, who introduced the illicit business to him.

It was Inspector Umukoro, an Urhobo man from Delta, who introduced the business to me, and I embraced it. I was a former corporal in the police. I joined the force in 2002, but I was dismissed in 2009.

“It was frustration and poverty that forced me into the business, because I have to take care of 23 children and five wives, though two had left.”

The CP said the suspects would be made to face the consequences of their actions.

OH DEAR! Late Popular Musician Prince Died of AIDS


Musician Prince was “preparing to die for a little while” after being diagnosed with AIDS, Radar Online reports. A music industry source interviewed by The National Enquirer messaged friends on April 19 to say the singer was suffering from the dreaded disease.

The source revealed to the media, “He was in bad shape.”
“Doctors told Prince his blood count was unusually low and that his body temperature had dropped dangerously below the normal 98.6 degrees to 94 degrees. 
“He was totally iron-deficient, very weak and often disoriented. He rarely ate and when he did, it all came right back up.”

Prince was said to have resorted to self-help rather than get proper medical care. RIP!

Nursing Mother, Others Nabbed for Stealing Dead Man's N3.7m


Greed is pushing people to the extreme! The EFCC, on Thursday, arraigned the trio of Patience Owerema, Nwakoba N.Francisca and Okafor Kingsley before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, abuse of office, forgery, impersonation and diversion of funds to the tune of N3,766,160.00(Three Million, Seven Hundred and Sixty-six Thousand, One Hundred and Sixty Naira).

These nefarious trio allegedly conspired to divert the terminal benefits of one late Udemba Clement, a former employee of NITEL and father to the petitioner, Emmanuel Udemba.
Luck ran out on the criminals when 
Emmanuel made efforts to collect his late father's final entitlement but all to no avail. After much persistence, it was discovered that the benefits were paid into an account setup by the fraudulent trio.

In spite of the evidence, they still pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them. 
Francisca, the nursing mother, was granted bail on compassionate grounds, while the other two were remanded in Kuje and Suleja prisons. 
The case was adjourned till June 14th for further hearings.

SWEET LIFE: Olajumoke Visits the Bakery She Used to Work

She gave 40 bread hawkers N5,000 each from a philanthropist. Her levels have change! See photos...



Her words: My life has changed. I am not the same person I used to be. In the sense that things are better for me and my family. I am now working, we have a beautiful place to call home. I am really enjoying it. It is such a beautiful place. I can’t imagine myself having such a lovely place as my home. I can’t be more grateful.
How will you describe the transition from village to bakery and now to a three bedroom flat?
There are a lot of differences in it. I was sleeping on the floor at the bakery. At home in Osun state, I shared a room with a lot of people. I now have a three bedroom flat. I have a room to myself, my children also have theirs. I have seen a lot of changes.

Will you say you have changed?
I am still the same Jumoke people know. The same Jumoke people knew in Osun state is the same as the Jumoke speaking with you right now, but the story of my life has changed. My lifestyle has changed. I am looking healthier, living healthier, I have more things to be thankful for. I have a lot of clothes, not just clothes but fashionable ones. I eat better things. People have been helping us from right, left and centre.
