Photo: Kidnappers den uncovered in Ogun state, kidnappers arrested

Posted: 21 Jun 2015 01:04 PM PDT

The Ogun state police command have uncovered a kidnappers den at Odubotu compound, located in Okesopen area of Ijebu-Igbo in Ogun state.

According to Vanguard, the kidnappers, 46 year old Mukaila Dauda who served as a herbalist in the syndicate, Ahmed Adebanjo, Tunde Akilo, a popular commercial motorcyclist, Sunkanmi Dacosta and Lateef Agboola were arrested after a failed attempt to kidnapped a herb seller known as Iyaagbo at Ijebu-Ode /Ikorodu Road, Lagos State.


The kidnappers had trailed her from her Odogbolu residence in Ogun State to Itoikin where her shop was. They arrived at her shop disguising as prospective buyers.

Sensing all was not well, the woman told the strangers that she doesn't have what they requested for but as she made to leave the shop, she was bundled into the kidnappers car and driven away with gunshots fired to scare away intruders. Luck however ran out on them after the back two tyres of the vihicle they were riding in punctured.

Explaining how they were arrested, Ahmed Adesanya, a commercial motorcyclist, from Omu Eleni town said;
"When I got to the place, I met one Mama Alagbo, our Okada unit chairman, Ahmed (Soldier), Yemi Agboola and Tunde Akilo inside the car. But four of them, including Mama Alagbo, took off on my motorcycle, while Yemi Agboola, Tunde Akilo and I drove in the car. But on reaching Imodi town, we met some policemen at a checkpoint, who insisted on checking the vehicle. Agboola and myself escaped into the bush but we did not see TundeAkilo. A week later, he (Akilo ) led policemen to my house and I was arrested. I used my Okada to take some passengers to the herbalist's house. My targets are usually passengers who do not know where they are going".he said
On his part, another member of the syndicate, Tunde Akilo, confessed to being a member of the Eiye Confraternity and also admitted to being involved in armed robbery operations within the Ijebu axis.
"I have only taken part in two kidnap operations. One was the abduction of Chief Alakoso, after which I was given N250, 000. The second operation was that of Mama Alagbo which unfortunately was unsuccessful. One Yemi Agboola, a relative to the woman, brought the deal to us . He said her relatives could provide N1 million if kidnapped. If I had known, I would have remained in the robbery gang instead of joining this syndicate", he said
For 38-year-old Dascosta who was also arrested, he confessed to being a member of a robbery gang, claiming he was introduced into kidnapping by the herbalist, Dauda, when he went to him for spiritual protection. Like his colleague, Akilo, he expressed regret for joining the kidnap syndicate, saying he had only earned N310,000 since he joined.

On his part, Mukaila, the herbalist said he was responsible for hiding the kidnapped victims until a ransom is paid for their release
"I am a herbalist. I have been into the profession for 25 years. I specialise in curing strokes and other ailments which are beyond medical treatment. At a point, business was no longer moving and feeding my two wives and six children became burdensome. It was at this point that I met Tunde Akilo, a commercial motorcyclist, and Sunkanmi Dacosta, who introduced me to kidnapping. My role is to keep victims in my house, pending when their families would pay ransom. I never went out with them but I gave them names of prominent persons in Ijebu Igbo. Some of these people have patronized me. The first person that was brought to my house was one Chief Alakoso. He was brought in March, blindfolded. I got N300,000 after ransom was paid four days later, for keeping him in my place. This amount was aside my regular share from the loot because that was the bargain. Also, two Onipomo in Ijebu Igbo were kept in my place. I also gave their contacts to my members. I usually prepared charms to fortify members before they go for any job. This is to enable them get their catch without trouble. I also prepared charms that will make victims lose their senses. A day before they would leave, I would lit fire and say some incantations into it. The fire will be on until they arrived. But if it goes off in the process, that means they have entered into trouble" he said
All five of them will soon be charged to court.

Buhari needs our support to deliver on his mandate - Atiku

Posted: 21 Jun 2015 12:50 PM PDT

Press statement from Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ..
Former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar says it is dangerous for any individual or group in the ranks of the ruling party to constitute themselves into an opposition even before the constitution and take off President Muhammadu Buhari's government. The former Vice President made the call against the backdrop of developments in the polity, which he notes are interplay of forces and interests that are dynamic, but must not be promoted to the point of being a threat to our democracy and the new administration.
In a press statement released by his media office in Abuja on Sunday, 21 June and signed by Mazi Paul Ibe, the Turaki Adamawa while acknowledging that it is legitimate and desireable for individuals or groups to seek to pursue their interest, it must be done with the benefit of sustaining our democracy and promoting equity, fair play and justice in mind. "Anything to the contrary may jeopardise our hard-earned democracy and constitute a clog in the wheel of the new administration," Atiku said.

He noted that because of the historic nature of the mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari and the arduous challenges ahead to deliver on making Nigeria work for all Nigerians, it is important, especially for members of his own party, to rally behind him in the quest to enthrone good governance, that will spur security and stability, economic and social development, job creation, infrastructure renewal and above all a better life for Nigerians.

The former Vice President urged members of the APC to emulate the unity of all the presidential contestants after the party's Lagos primaries and support the President to form his government and get to work. The statement exonerated Atiku Abubakar of the purported hijack of the party and the National Assembly towards 2019 as figment of the imagination of those promoting it and asked Nigerians to ignore all such insinuation.

He notes that the recent outcomes of the National Assembly election contrary to insinuations are products of interplay of politics which is itself in constant motion. "In politics, it is a mistake to expect fixed outcomes. As the President has done, let's all come to terms with what has happened in the interest of the system and move on."

FTK, the hard-working singing duo release second single in 3 weeks

Posted: 21 Jun 2015 05:42 AM PDT

Finally, its here! FTK releases their new single titled 'Gbesoke' which is a certified club banger. The duo, who received a loud ovation when they performed over the weekend alongside other stars such as Sir Shina Peters, Oritsefemi, KWAM1, Malaika and a host of others at the Couples' Nite hosted by Global Excellence magazine, recorded their first single in 2014.

The group consists of two brothers (twins) whose passion for music has been the motivation for their performance. Falobi Taiwo and Kehinde are both undergraduates of Babcock University, where they are currently studying Mass Communication with bias for Advertising and Journalism respectively.


The 21-year olds ventured into the world of music and have so far released four singles and two videos. A unique feature of this band is their ability to play musical instruments and perform with a live band thereby deepening their stage craft. These qualities stand them out as true artistes.

In concept, musical arrangement, beat and lyrics, GBESOKE is targeted at the youth segment of the society. In vogue and danceable, it appeals to themes of fun, progress, romance and youthfulness without sacrificing decency and decorum.

Dear LIB readers; My wife just threatened to cheat on me...

Posted: 21 Jun 2015 02:22 AM PDT

From a male LIB reader
My wife just caught me cheating on her again and swore to me that next time I do it, she will retaliate by cheating on me. I didn't believe her until she swore with our children and she said this with so much anger and tears. I don't know if I should take her serious. The thought of another man on top of my wife makes my skin crawl so much I want to throw up. I would kill myself if she ever did that. I am panicking, what should I do?
