Nigerian Navy Arrests 11 People Trying To Sail To Europe Illegally......

The Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT, on Wednesday in Lagos, said it had arrested an impersonator and 11 suspects for allegedly attempting to stow away in a vessel to Europe.

The Commanding Officer NNS BEECROFT,Commodore Abraham Adaji, made the disclosure when he addressed journalists at Apapa, Lagos. He gave the names of the suspects asAkinwunmi Jeflando, Pope Olu, Jacob James, Samuel Jodge, Ade Samadin, Dan Gogo, James Akinbami, Paul Oguns, Joseph Emmanuel, Stephen CooperandJalo Cooper.

Adaji said: “Preliminary investigations revealed that the arrested persons boarded the vessel, CITRON, through the rudder trunk access manhole in a bid to travel with the vessel to Europe. “The suspects were arrested at about 12. 30 a.m. on March 11 for illegally boarding Merchant Vessel CITRON berthed at Capital Oil Jetty, Apapa, Lagos.

“They were detected and subsequently arrested by our patrol boat,” Adaji said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adaji handed over the suspects to the Nigeria Immigration Service for further investigation and prosecution.

He also said that the Chief of the Naval Staff,Vice-Admiral Ikot Ibas, had zero tolerance for all maritime crimes in Nigeria’s waters. He called on criminally-minded Nigerians and other nationals to seek legitimate employment instead of engaging themselves in illegal activities. One of the stowaways,Olu, said he was not happy with his standard of living which prompted him to attempt to enter Europe illegally.

Another stowaway,Cooper, blamed frustration for his attempt to travel abroad through illegal means. A representative of the NIS,Lekan Olagunju, a Chief Superintendent, received the stowaways from the Navy. He said that investigations would continue with a view to ascertaining the claims of their nationalities before they could be prosecuted.

In another development, the Navy also arrested oneMohammed Abubakar, for allegedly impersonating a Seaman Writer in the Nigerian Navy. While being handed over to the Nigeria Police, Adaji said he was arrested in Lagos. “The police will further conduct investigations on the suspect,” he said. (NAN)

Two Robbers To Die By Hanging In Delta State(read)....

A Delta State High Court sitting in Warri has sentenced two armed robbers: 27 year-old-Monday Godwin and 33-year-old Ochuko Ego to death by hanging for rob­bing a banker’s wife of her Toyota Corolla Salon Car on point.

The convicted robbers said to be indigenes of Abra­ka and Eku respectively and welders by profession were pronounced guilty by the trial judge (name withheld) and sentenced to death by hanging for the offence. The court also found them guilty of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and the substantive offence of kidnapping and were sen­tenced to five and eight year’s imprisonment each for both offences.

The prosecuting counsel from Delta State Ministry of Justice had told the court that the two accused persons with two others identified as Bestman and couple, still at large, on or around October 8, 2012 at Ohio within the Orerokpe Judicial Division, conspired amongst them­selves and executed the act by robbing one Mrs Rome­lia Esangbedo while on her farm of one Toyota Corolla Salon Car belonging to her banker’s husband on gun point. He told the court that after being robbed of her car, the armed bandits also held Mrs Esangbedo hos­tage and demanded for an undisclosed amount from her husband before she was could be released.

She was, however, res­cued the next day from Aghalokpe where the stolen vehicle was also recovered through the prompt inter­vention of security agents. The court, while deliver­ing its death verdict, said prosecution was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt ingredients of the four count charge against the accused persons as evidence before the court including their confes­sional statements to secure convictions against the ac­cused.

15-Year-Old JAMB Candidate Kidnapped In Lagos While Going For Exam.......

A 15-year-old girl, Rita Clement was abducted by unidentified persons last Thursday while on her way to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos State.

Her family members have expressed how they have not known peace of mind since the incident. PUNCH Metro learnt that Clement, who lived with her relatives on Gboyega Kilo Street in the Ojodu Berger area, and had UTME registration number 65061660GJ, was to sit for the exam at 6.30am on that day.

Their correspondent, who obtained Clement’s examination printout, gathered that the examination centre was the West African Examination Council, International office on Plot B, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Lagos. It was learnt that the teenager, who sat for her Senior Secondary Certificate Examination last year, had left home around 5.30am for Agidingbi.

At about 5pm, Clement sent a text message to her mother’s mobile phone, raising the alarm that she had been abducted and she did not know the location where she was taken to. The matter was said to have been reported at the Ojodu Police Division on Friday and had been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja.

In the text message which Clement’s uncle, Emeka Orazulike, showed Punch, the teenager wrote that the abductors had seized her phone since morning and she only managed to write a text through someone’s assistance. She wrote: “Mummy, they took my phone and beat me up inside the bus. Mummy, I don’t know where they took me to. They made me sleep and said they will kill me if I ran. Someone gave me my phone, saying I must return it before they came back. Mummy, please save me, please.”

The uncle, who worked as a pharmacist, said it was through the text message that the family got to know that Clement was not missing, but abducted. He said: “Rita (Clement) finished from a college on Aina Street in the Ojodu area. She just concluded her SSCE; we then enrolled her for the UTME. Her father lives in Enugu.

“The examinations board gave her that Thursday, by 6.30am, to sit for her exam. She was to sit at a centre in the Agidingbi area. On that day, as I was preparing for work around 6am, she met and told me that she was set to leave for the venue. “I gave her N1,000 when she told me the centre was at Agidingbi. She would use only N100 for transport. I then left for work.

“As I was coming back around 6.30pm, her mother called that she forwarded a message to my telephone. I then checked my phone and saw the scary message. I first went to the Area F Command, Ikeja, and was about making a statement when the Area Commander directed me to the Ojodu Police Division. “We reported the matter on Friday at Ojodu, and the police there radioed other stations.” Orazulike added that when they called the girl’s phone, it rang out on Thursday, adding that it had been switched off by Friday.

“She did sit for that exam. The abductors might have whisked her away in the bus she boarded on that morning. She was used to going out. When she wrote her WAEC, her centre was at Giwa Oke Aro, Agbado. She went there with her friends. “That was why when she mentioned that she was going to Agidingbi for the UTME, I did not nurse any fear because it was just two bus stops from our area. If we knew that anything would happen, I would have taken her there myself,” he added.

The Divisional Police Officer in Ojodu took the family members to the SARS office, Ikeja, on Monday and the SARS commander assured them that he would detail his men to rescue the girl. However, the family had yet to hear from the police as of Wednesday. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, had yet to reply to a text message sent to her phone on the abduction by Punch.
