PUNCH Metro reports that the modus operandi of the syndicate was to destroy padlocks of their target shops by pouring acid on them.
The suspects –Tochukwu Akorisa, Ndubuise Egwuatuonwu, Ifeanyi Eze and Aboi Rufus – had attacked a warehouse in the market, stealing 427 cartons of electric bulbs valued at N19.1m.
The shop owner reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of one Tona Nwenyi, who
allegedly bought some of the goods from the suspects
Nwenyi led the detectives attached to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police X-Squad to Akorisa, who reportedly coordinated the robbery operation.
A detective told PUNCH Metro that Nwenyi was caught at the point of selling the stolen goods.
“Akorisa subsequently led us to his accomplices. Two other persons, Tony Eme and Ejike Chinwoba, who bought the bulbs from the gang, had been arrested.
“We have recovered about 100 cartons out of the 427 cartons they made away with, which is worth N19.1m,” the source said.Twenty-six-year-old Akorisa, confessed to the act, adding that he intended to use the proceeds of the robbery to give his ailing mother a medical attention.
He said,
“I load goods in the market. But the money I earned was not enough for me to take care of my sick mother. I led the operation. We used acid to break the padlock of the warehouse. We went around 9.30pm on that day.”Egwuatuonwu explained that it was Akorisa, who facilitated the sales of the loot, adding that he was promised N250,000 from the deal.
“But I have not got anything before the police arrested me,” he added.Rufus said,
“This is my first time. My house rent has expired and I had been living with my friends. I want to rent an apartment. I was thinking of how to get money when Tochukwu (Akorisa) suggested that we rob the warehouse. We stole only 150 cartons of bulbs.”One of the receivers, Nwenyi, said he wanted to return the bulbs to Akorisa, having discovered they were stolen, when he was arrested.
Chinwomba said,
“I bought 30 cartons from Tochukwu. I have paid for 15 cartons. I didn’t know the goods were stolen.”Eme said he bought 15 cartons of the bulbs.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the command was on the trail of other fleeing suspects.
She said,
“Four of the suspects, who stole the goods, and three of the receivers were arrested based on intelligence report. Effort is on to apprehend the fleeing ones and to recover the remaining stolen goods.”

Beauty queen hawks tomatoes at the market for birthday photoshoot
m towards the end of her national youth service assignment in October 2015.
November 29th 2016 was her birthday and to celebrate, Nimat hawked tomatoes at the market for her shoot. According to her, she chose to honour and encourage hawkers because they are the most important set of people: the unnoticed, the undervalued, and the under-appreciated MIGHTY ones weNigerians forget so easily.
Read what she wrote below:
A CREED ON MY BIRTHDAY
A taste of a well sweetened cake and a sip of fine tasty wine I crave. To be showered with flamboyant gifts and surrounded by the high and mighty, did I imagine. To be celebrated in front pages of newspapers, magazines, blogs, surely crossed my mind. But the reality is, it’s not now. It’s GONNA HAPPEN sooner and in the FULLNESS OF TIME…
I will get there not by hook or by crook but by work, by impact and by influence…
I shall not be desperate; I shall not be intimidated; I shall not be stopped; I will thread where no path has crossed; I shall break new grounds; I will chart a new course.
I will follow my passion… & on this note*** Today (my most treasured day) I choose to identify with the most important set of people: the unnoticed, the undervalued, and the under-appreciated MIGHTY ones we forget so easily. I mean the market women- the petty traders, the hawkers.
I choose to honour and encourage those who dedicate their time and life in bringing home-breed, locally-sourced fresh food items into our markets. They go through the pains of hawking goods, bringing them closer to us. Even when we underprice their goods, insult them they remain upbeat.
One good thing about them is they never stopped believing, they never stopped being positive about life. They will tell you “akuku daa l’ojo kan”. They never stopped dreaming big even from their small but honest hustles.
I know “lojokan” by dint of hard work they are going to raise kings and queens- children that will take them from the street to the throne! Their gifted hands will make room for them. Their stories will sure one day be from tomatoes to thrones… *** BE INSPIRED*** ...
Happy birthday to me!!

God revealed to me that Dangote would be Nigeria's next president - Archbishop Amu
Archbishop George Amu, has said God has shown him that Nigerian billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, will one day become the president of Nigeria.
Amu said just like the emergence of Donald Trump as the President of America shocked the world, so will Dangote’s emergence as Nigeria’s President shock everyone.
The cleric, who recalled telling journalists on August 21, on the occasion of his 75th birthday, that Trump would win America’s election, said God had also revealed to him that Dangote would be Nigeria’s President, but he was not sure whether he would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari or not.
According to him, the similarity between Trump and Dangote is that both are successful businessmen, rather than politicians, and God plans to use them to salvage their countries from problems.
Amu recalled that when he predicted Trump’s victory, no newspaper reported it, saying,
“I even told my children to circulate the information on their Facebook but they declined. The same God, who revealed Donald Trump’s victory in the US, has also declared His intention to install Dangote as the future President of Nigeria.”

School supervisor arrested for ‘defiling’ 2 year old pupil (Photo)
A 46-year-old school supervisor, Adegboyega Adenekan, has been arrested by the police for allegedly defiling a 34 months old girl.
Adenekan, a supervisor in Chrisland International School in Victoria Garden City (VGC) Lagos, was alleged to have defiled the girl under the guise of teaching her sex education.
Commissioner of Police Fatai Owoseni, who paraded Adenekan yesterday at the command’s Ikeja headquarters, said the suspect was arrested following a complaint by the victim’s mother at the Ikeja Police Division.
He claimed that preliminary investigation showed that the pastor defiled the girl, stressing that the suspect would be charged to court.
Adenekan said he got a call from the pupil’s mother accusing him of defiling her daughter.
The suspect denied committing the crime saying:
“I am a teacher from that school; what happened was that on Friday, November 11, I got a call around 8am from one woman and she identified herself as the mother of pupil. She alleged on the phone that I sexually abused her daughter. I then asked her, when, where did it happened, but after all said and done, she said, I want it between the two of us and I have not even told my husband. So when she dropped, I was disturbed.
Few minutes after that, she sent a text message to me telling me that she still wants me to remain friendly with her daughter because she knew her daughter holds me in high esteem. She said I should still be a friend to her and all that. I must tell you that I wasn’t myself throughout that day. Again, I got a call the following day, from a man who identified himself . It was an international call. The man also said that I assaulted his daughter sexually and I said, I don’t know what you are talking about, that even yesterday, your wife called me and said the same thing.
And I said, when could this happen in a nursery school where no one picks the children except the parents. You walk into the class and pick the child. I don’t know. I have never been alone with this girl, I have never bought any gift for her, and I had never taken her out anywhere. I was so shocked and the man ended the call when I told him all these. And immediately I called my head teacher, Mrs. Azike and I said Ma, this is the allegation I got from this parent which I knew nothing about.
The Nation
“I want the police to do their investigation. I am ready to submit myself for investigation. I was told the girl is two years and ten months old. I know God will vindicate me. I am married for 15 years with children. The teacher of the girl is saying that nothing of such happened and that the girl never left her custody. This girl comes to school with school bus, from what I have heard, and then goes with her school bus. I am a supervisor in that school. I don’t teach. So the allegation that I teach the children sex education is so disturbing to me. I have never taught that girl, I have never taught in that class. She said she took the girl to one private hospital and it was confirmed that the girl was abused. I was told that I failed the lie detector test which I willingly made myself available for but I never heard of such a thing before. It was after that that I went online to research about polygraph. Before we got there, she first of all went there and paid for the test. She did all the arrangement before us and I failed the test.”
I was in need of money for my honeymoon-Man caught with heroin at Lagos airport
A commercial tricyclist in Owerri, the Imo State capital, and an Abuja-based trader have been caught by National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) officials at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos with 6.390kg of heroin.
Cajetan Chinedu Egwin, was arrested on arrival from Kigali, Rwanda,while King Sunday, was nabbed on arrival from Nairobi, Kenya.The drug with an estimated street value of N575 million was hidden in their luggage.
“Egwin arrived from Kigali on a Rwanda Airline flight while Sunday imported the drug found on him from Nairobi during inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian Airline flight. The suspects are being investigated.
“Preliminary investigation by the agency, however, indicated that drug trafficking cartels are gradually changing their mode of operation by turning to African countries in sourcing narcotic drugs like heroin. The suspects were also recruited for a fee to import the drugs into the country. Egwin who is not married said he needed money to repair his commercial tricycle while Sunday who left his wife after four days of marriage under the guise of a business trip said that he needed money for his honeymoon and business.”
Egwin, a commercial tricycle rider in Owerri said
“The engine of my tricycle which is my only source of livelihood is bad. While I was looking for money to fix it, I was introduced to the man that promised to pay me N400,000 on the condition that I will bring his drug from Kigali. I accepted the offer because nobody was willing to help me. Apart from the repairs, my rent is due and my landlord has been asking for his money,” he said.
Sunday said
“I erroneously took the decision to smuggle drugs barely four days after my marriage. I was in need of money for my honeymoon and also for my business but I should not have involved myself in drug trafficking. My thinking was that I could smuggle the drug from Nairobi in two days without my wife knowing that I travelled out of the country. All my life, I have been upright in my transactions but this is a huge mistake and I regret my action.”
NDLEA’s Chairman/Chief Executive Col Muhammad Abdallah (rtd) said drug traffickers were turning to African countries to smuggle heroin produced in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Thailand and other far away countries.
”The Agency successfully foiled their plan with the arrest and seizure of the drugs. Drug cartels thought it would be easy to smuggle the drugs into the country since heroin is not produced in Africa but I am happy that we are thinking far ahead of them,” he said.
