Nemesis caught up with five robbery suspects, Sunday, in Lagos, when their get-away car skidded off Eko Bridge by Iddo, while in flight, killing three of the suspects and one innocent bystander, a man who the car fell on. It was gathered that two of the suspects sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital, while the dead bodies were deposited at a mortuary.

The incident was said to have occurred during the downpour at 2.15 pm. General Manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Mr. Adesina Tiamiyu, who confirmed the incident, said preliminary investigation revealed that the occupants in the car could be robbers as several dangerous weapons were recovered from the car.

According to Tiamiyu, “the agency received a distress call regarding a lone accident at Iddo Bridge at 2.15p.m. yesterday. On arrival at the scene of the incident, the Emergency Response Team, ERT, of the agency discovered a grey-coloured Hyundai ix 35 with number plates SMK 485 CM, which skidded off the Eko Bridge by Iddo Terminus and fell on a man, who died immediately.

“Three of the suspected robbers died immediately, one escaped with injuries, while the fifth was taken to the hospital by Lagos State Ambulance Service, LASAMBUS. The dead bodies, three suspected armed robbers and one other person identified as a mechanic named Nwamba, were handed over to State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, SEHMU, and were subsequently taken to the mortuary, while the vehicle was towed to Denton Police Station, Ebute Meta, by the agency.”

According LASEMA boss, items found on the victims include one locally-made double-barrelled pistol with five live cartridges, one laptop, mobile phones and a dollar note. Tiamiyu, who advised residents to always be security conscious at all times, said the matter had been handed over to Nigeria Police for proper investigation.

Mad’ Woman Arrested In Lagos With 25 SIM Cards & 2 ATM Cards • She Doesn't Beg For Money But Spends Mint Notes

Twenty five SIM cards, two ATM cards, different bank tellers and a working mobile telephone were yesterday recovered from a supposedly mad woman at Oshodi bus stop, Lagos State. The woman, it was learnt, has been living at the spot in the last two years. The items were discovered when the officials of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), who wanted to use the place, tried to evacuate her. An NRC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the discovery of the SIM cards, ATM cards and bank tellers came to them as a surprise. 

He said: “The woman has been living at the sport for some time now. Recently, a canteen was built close to the spot where she is sitting, but some people who patronise the canteen always complain about the presence of the woman. To our surprise, when we were about to evacuate her from the spot, about 25 SIM cards, two ATM cards, different bank tellers and a phone were recovered from her. “We don’t want another incident similar to that of Clifford Orji where human parts were recovered.

We suspect the woman has someone she is working for. We are going to hand her over to the task force because we don’t want to take chances. “The woman was behaving normally when we moved close to her, but suddenly she started putting up a strange behaviour and pretending to be a lunatic. We don’t see her to be what she is claiming.”

A trader, who identified herself simply as Rebecca, told our correspondent that she did not believe the woman was a lunatic. “She used to come to my shop to buy detergent to wash her clothes and to bathe. I was surprised when she started behaving strangely now.

Whenever she comes to buy from me, she always comes with crisp N500 notes. “There was a day I closed late, I saw someone who parked beside the road and was discussing with the woman. But I did not hear what they were saying.

Out of curiosity, I went to her the following day to ask her who the person was. She said those who come to visit her were her family members. Government should clear lunatics from Oshodi and its environs,” she said.

Another trader, who did not want her name in print, said the woman never begged for alms from passers-by. She said: “We also want the police to beam their searchlight on that angle, because she was not soliciting alms from people. They should ask her where she is getting the money she is spending from, because we don’t want to lose our children in the market.” 

Illegal Factory Which Produces & Sells Police Uniforms To Robbers, Discovered Inside Police College In Ikeja

The Lagos State Police Command has uncovered a factory inside the Police College in Ikeja, where police uniforms and other accessories, are illegally produced and sold. Police arrested four persons, all women, among them two nursing mothers. Several police uniforms with different ranks, badges, belts, boots cardigans, caps and force numbers were recovered from the suspects.

Vanguard reports that investigation was still on to ascertain whether the force numbers were authentic. The arrest came on the heels of petitions to the Inspector-General of Police, IG, Idris Ibrahim, following which he instituted a panel of inquiry headed by a retired IG.

Part of the panel’s recommendations include request that the Lagos State Police Command investigate the matter. Consequently, the X-Squad of the command, headed by Mr. Bode Fakeye, was directed by the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, to clamp down on suspected perpetrators of the illegal act.

The suspects, during interrogation, admitted to the claim but refused to mention names of their buyers. Spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the arrest, said:

“The CP ordered the officer-in-charge of X-Squad to investigate, after the case was referred to us from the Police High Command, Abuja. When he finally investigated and found out that it was true, the CP ordered the arrest of the suspects and seizure of the materials.”

She added that the suspects would be arraigned in court today on a “two-count charge of conspiracy and unlawful possession and sales of police kits contrary to Section 328, Sub-sections A, B, C and D of Lagos State, 2011.”

How Nigeria's Ex-Air Force Chief Laundered N558 Million - Witness Makes New Revelations

Alex Badeh 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on October 11presented its sixth witness, Air Commodore Mohammed Lawal Sini, in the trial of Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (rtd) to shed more light on how the sum of N558 million Nigerian Air Force funds was converted to personal use while Mr. Badeh held sway as Chief of Air Staff.

Mr. Badeh is being prosecuted alongside Iyalikam Nigeria Limited before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, for allegedly abusing his office as Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, by using the dollar equivalent of the sum of N1.4 billion removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force to purchase properties in choice areas of Abuja between January and December, 2013.


The offence is in contravention of Section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 15(3) of the same Act.

Led in evidence by counsel to EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs, Mr. Sini, who is currently a director in the Nigerian Air Force, gave details of events that occurred when he was the Camp Finance Officer, CFO, 106 Camp, in 2012.

“In 2012, I was posted to Camp NAF as the Camp Finance Officer (CFO). My schedule involved payment of salaries, disbursement of funds with respect to operations and overhead expenditure of the unit. “106 Camp was established to provide administrative services to NAF HQ complex, the Air House (residence of the Chief of the Air Staff) and other Air Force units within Abuja.

“I reported to the Director of Finance and Accounts (DFA), then Air Commodore S. A. Yushau, (Prosecution Witness 1), within the Headquarters. I took instructions from him with respect to financial operations within the Unit. Squadron Leader E. N. Abu was the cashier, my subordinate.

“106 Camp receives funds from NAF procurement. These funds typically were for personnel emolument or for recurrent overhead expenditure. “When we received it, we paid salaries. After this, some amounts of money remained, which were then paid into other accounts. It was the duty of the cashier to pay these balances into the accounts for operations: Ration Cash Allowances (RCA) and Sundry Training Beats (STB).

These RCA and STB had some forex components, which I instructed the cashier to generate whenever I received instructions from the DFA, Air Commodore S. A. Yushau. “I took over the post of CFO from Group Captain Ifeobu.

On the very first day I reported for duty as CFO, he told me that a certain part of the RCA taken from personnel emolument, specifically N558,200,000, was meant for the official administrative maintenance of the office of the Chief of Air Staff and that I was to report to the DFA for details of disbursement.

“Upon completion of the handover, I saw the DFA and told him what Group Capt. Ifeobu said about the administration of the RCA. “Subsequently, administrative instruction regarding disbursement was given to me by the DFA (PW1). This instruction came to me from time to time. But specifically, he said that I should be converting the amount to forex on a monthly basis.

However, he further stated that he would be giving me instructions from time to time to make payments out of the total sum. Whenever payments were made out of the total sum, I was to reconcile and convert the remaining balance to dollars and handover same to him.

“During my tenure in the unit, which spanned from November 2012 to December 2013, I was making those conversions and monthly reconciliations. “My cashier, Squadron Leader Abu, was the custodian of records. He was sourcing the dollars from Bureau de Change (BDC) operators.

Depending on instructions, transfers were made to the accounts of the BDC operators. Other times, cash were withdrawn and paid for currency. Such monies were then transferred into accounts of companies or individuals as instructed,” Mr. Sini stated.

When asked if he could still recollect the names of the companies, Mr. Sini said: “I remember two of such account: Habco Nigeria Plc and Ryte Builders. Ryte Builders, I vividly remember, is a company owned by Engr. Mustapha, an acquaintance of the DFA (Yushau). Even before I reported to the Camp as CFO, the company had been rendering services to 106 Camp.”

Giving further details, the PW 6 stated that, “the paper work that we (Abu and I) did was to generate payment mandates to banks. In the case of Engr. Mustapha for Ryte Builders, the instruction given was to the effect that the transfers were made for the Chief of Air Staff. I do not have the details. It was only sufficient for me to know that the money to be transferred was from the N558 million.”

The witness also told the court that there were instances when he and Abu took the dollars to the Air House, where the DFA was on ground to hand it over to the (then) Chief of Air Staff.

Regarding monies paid to Ryte Builders, Mr. Sini explained that, “I remember I prepared papers for the transfer of the money. The cashier and I signed the payment instructions. Specifically, the cashier prepared the mandates, signed and then handed it over to me. I countersigned before it was taken to the bank for payment.”

The prosecuting counsel sought to tender two bundles of documents, payment mandate correspondences addressed to different banks, captioned ‘Transfer of Funds’ and dated January 22, 2013 and March 26, 2013 duly certified by PW6.

But Akin Olujimi, counsel to Mr. Badeh, vehemently objected to the admissibility of the documentary evidence, stating that the evidence was in contravention of Section 104(1) of the Evidence Act, 2004, since certain prescribed legal fees had not been paid by prosecution.

Mr. Olujimi argued that the witness certified the document on April 5, 2016 when he was no longer occupying the office of CFO, yet another contravention of Section 104(1) of the Evidence Act, 2004. He, therefore, urged the court to reject the evidence.

S. T. Ologoorisha, counsel to the second defendant, aligned himself with Mr. Olujimi’s submission, citing relevant authorities.

However, Justice Abang overruled their objection stating that, “not all public documents require certification before they are tendered in evidence. A correspondence by NAF to a bank is not a document that requires certification.”

He held that, there was no need for the witness to certify, as he had already laid foundation to tender copies of the correspondences, adding that the documents were relevant to the case of the prosecution.

Consequently, the documents were admitted in evidence and marked as Exhibits B6 and B7 respectively.

The matter was adjourned to October 12 for continuation of trial.
