Photos: Ojukwu’s Niece, 4 others arrested for drug trafficking

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 01:15 PM PST

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA have arrested five people including one Ijeoma Ojukwu, a niece to late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, and three others namely Victor Umeh, Uche Igwelo and Egbuche Fidelis Osiita over the trafficking of 2.24kg of substance believed to be cocaine from Brazil. Also being investigated is a staff of NDLEA. NDLEA officials believe that 48 year old Ijeoma who runs a restaurant in Brazil is believed to be a member of an international drug syndicate. 

 
Speaking on the arrest, the agency's commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba ‎said a luggage tagged for Agina Fidelis Ejike, was abandoned at the arrival hall during inward screening of passengers on an Emirates flight on December 28.

"On January 1, 2016, one Egbuche Fidelis Osita came with authority letter mandating him to collect the bag. In the process, some white powdery substance weighing 2.24kg that tested positive for cocaine was discovered. The drug was neatly packed in four parcels concealed in false bottom of four female handbags."
"My brother came from Brazil and could not find his bag. It was in the process of trying to get the bag out that we were arrested."
Uche Igwelo, 36, a public administration graduate, said she was invited by Ijeoma to assist in collecting the bag.
"I sell kitchen utensil and I am married with a child. Ijeoma met me that I should help him to collect a bag at the airport. We were trying to get the bag when NDLEA officers arrested us," Uche, an Anambra native told investigators, according to an official statement from NDLEA.
Egbuche Fidelis Osita, a 37-year-old student said that he was asked to collect the bag. "I am a 400 level student studying English Education at the Ekiti State University. My friend Victor Umeh was the person that asked me to help in claiming a luggage at the airport. We all drove to the airport where I was given a letter of authority and other documents of the passenger that came with the luggage. In the process of trying to collect the bag I was arrested. This is all I know about this incident," Osita said.

"I paid N1.3m for my wife's release"- Footballer, Fegor Ogude says

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 01:12 PM PST

Super Eagles player who plies his trade in Russia with Ankar Perm, Fegor Ogude has revealed that he paid a ransom for his wife, Memunat Ogude's release, he says he reached a negotiated settlement of N1.3million after the kidnappers initially asked for N30million. 
"Well, I paid nothing much for her release. I paid 1.3m naira though they demanded 30m naira," Ogude was quoted by TheCable.
The delighted player disclosed that his wife was unhurt while in the kidnappers' den but will undergo medical examinations.
"Yes, she is alright but I have to ensure that she is. I have taken her to the hospital for proper medical tests and checkup because the kind of ordeal she must have gone through in the hands of the armed men is nothing to be taken for granted. I have to be sure that she is very okay.
"She was taken to a very bad place, a swampy forest, a dirty place to be kept for almost a week. Imagine what she must have faced during the number of days she was kept there. But I am thanking God that I got her back alive. It is her life that's the most important thing to me.
"You know that a lot of people will go there and won't come back alive, so I am happy that she is alright and alive." he concluded.
He'll be the third after Super Eagles player to fall victim to kidnappers after the father of Chelsea player, Mikel Obi and former Christian Obodo, they both regained their freedom.

Lol. Toddler hits the gym in order to impress prospective girlfriend

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 01:07 PM PST

One little Romeo has taken to the gym with the aim of getting buffed up. His aim? To trump a rival and get the girl. Brody Lee Smith decided to work out to get 'big and strong' in order to be best friends with an older girl.

In a hilarious online video, he opens up to his mum on why he's working out. He said: "I'm practising on the bike riding. I've got someone to meet who's going to be my best friend.

"I'm trying to get stronger so I can show her, so I can be her best friend, so she doesn't have to be rude to me all day. Because all day she's been rude, so I'm trying to get stronger so she won't yell at me and do all that rude stuff."
His mum asks him whether being strong will make a difference or whether she'll yell anyway.
But Brody reveals he's beefing up to be stronger than another boy - apparently also fighting for the girl's affections.

And he hilariously quips, "A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do".

He said: "He's a kid bigger than me and I'm going to get bigger than him because I'm an athlete.
"A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

"Because if a guy doesn't do what he's supposed to do, he won't get stronger - he'll be weak.
"He'll be big and old and eat junk. Guys need to exercise."
Good luck little man.

PDP Insists On Metuh’s Release ….Says Jalo Does Not Speak For It

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 11:38 AM PST

Read the press statement below...
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has not changed its demand that the Party's spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh be immediately released or charged to court by the EFCC.
This clarification is on the instance of strange publications in the media credited to Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo on the arrest, by the EFCC, of some of our leaders and particularly our National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.


Jalo was also quoted to have spoken on behalf of the PDP in calling on

former President Goodluck Jonathan to speak out on the controversial

arms deal scandal.


The national leadership of the party wishes to clarify that Jalo is not

a member of the National Working Committee and does not have the mandate

of the party to speak on its behalf on any matter whatsoever.  Under our

constitution, only the National Chairman and the National Publicity

Secretary or any body so designated by the National Chairman or the

National Working Committee speaks for the party. Jalo, clearly does not

have this mandate and could not have been speaking for our party.


For the avoidance of doubt, the official position of our great party

remains that our spokesman should be released or charged to court as he

remains innocent until proven otherwise by a court of competent

jurisdiction, in line with the provisions of our constitution and the

laws of Nigeria.


The PDP is therefore resolute in challenging the continued detention of

our spokesman for a week now, beyond the limits provided by the laws in

violation of his constitutionally guaranteed rights as a citizen. We are

solidly behind our spokesman in the demand for the enforcement of his

rights and liberty. Our demand that he is immediately released or charge

to court has not changed.


Chief Olisa Metuh has the right under the law to his statement and the

onus lies on the investigating agency to charge him to court and not to

arrogate itself the duties of the judiciary.


The PDP has expressly explained in various statements and press

conferences that it is not in any way against fighting corruption

provided it is done within the confines of rule of law and respect for

the fundamental Human rights of citizens.


We also wish to reiterate our stand that President Buhari-led Federal

Government has turned the anti- corruption fight as a witch-hunt on PDP

leaders, with a view to decimating the party and installing its desired

one party state in the country.


All lovers of democracy, including the international community should

take critical look at the various breaches of this administration and

the threat it brings to civil liberty and national stability and rein in

this government to respect the values of democracy.

Barr. Victor Kwon

Looks like the rapper who claimed he was arrested for withdrawing $200k lied

Posted: 12 Jan 2016 07:51 AM PST

A few days ago, I shared a story of a rapper named "Blac Youngsta," who was arrested outside a Wells Fargo bank in Atlanta after he withdrew $200,000 cash from his own account. (Read here). Looks like he lied because the police is telling a very different story.

Wells Fargo released an official statement, saying "Mr. Benson is not an account holder with us. He did not enter our store nor did he make any withdrawals. Sergeant Warren Pickard of the Atlanta Police Dept. had more to add. Pickard said Benson and several of his associates were detained "briefly" and Benson had only $70,000 in his possession - not $200,000 - and no money was taken from him. See the press statement after the cut...



Here is Well Fargo's official statement:
On January 8, 2016, Atlanta Police Officers were dispatched to the Wells Fargo Bank, 3235 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia. The 911 caller stated that a male was trying to cash a forged check valued at $24,000. The description of the male provided to police was limited and conflicting.
The Video Integration Center (VIC) using the camera system were able to get a visual of a possible suspect inside a car in the parking lot of the bank. This information was relayed to officers on the scene. The car was stopped and everyone inside the car was briefly detained. It was quickly discovered that the person providing the description to police had provided the wrong description of the suspect. It was determined that the occupants of the vehicle were not involved. They were immediately released.
The caller identified Mr. Charles Darnell Edward (03/02/1976) as the male attempting to cash the fraudulent $24,000 CHECK. Mr. Edwards was arrested at the scene and charged with forgery in the first degree (felony).
The Rapper, who identified himself as "Blac Youngsta", by coincidence happened to be at the bank at the same time. Upon police officers arriving on scene, they made a brief detention of him until a positive identification by the caller was made. This incident did not directly involved Blac Youngsta, nor was he accused of committing a crime.
