SHOCKING-- Bizman rapes mentally-ill teenager
Policemen attached to Igando Division have arrested a business man
who allegedly raped a recuperating mentally ill teenager, where she was
chained in an apartment at Egan, a Lagos suburb.
The suspected rapist identified as Gowo Ewhe, sneaked into the teenager’s apartment (names withheld) located on 14 Akindele Street, Tuesday, after her parents and other occupants had gone out and allegedly had carnal knowledge of her.
But the bubble burst following the discovery of the teenager’s blood stained underwear by her mother on arrival in the evening. Out of curiosity, she asked what happened only to be informed by her daughter of what transpired earlier.
Her mother, a petty trader at Igando market, reportedly raised alarm,consequent upon which the alleged perpetrator who at that time was resting in his room with his wife and three children was apprehended and handed over to the police.
At the station, the suspect reportedly claimed he was tempted beyond his capability.
The case, was thereafter charged to Ejigbo Magistrate court, yesterday, from where the 42-year-old suspect was remanded in Kirikiri prison custody till February 27,2013.
Meantime, gunmen numbering three, yesterday, stormed an eatery located at First Avenue, Festac Town, shooting a Police Corporal , identified simply as Levi, for attempting to save a Lebanese from being kidnapped..
The gunmen, reportedly stormed the at about 9.30 pm and made straight for where the owner, a Lebanese, was.
During the scuffle between the kidnappers and Lebanese, the Police Corporal said to have been deplored to the eatery, suspected danger and intervened. But he was taken by surprise as one of the kidnappers reportedly opened fire on him.
During the shooting spree, the Lebanese was said to have managed to escape.
Although an unconfirmed report said the Corporal died on the spot, with his riffle taken away by the kidnappers.
Effort to get the reaction of the Lagos State Police Public Relations officer, Ngozi Braide as she was said to be conducting an interview when Vanguard called her line.
But Police sources at Area ‘E’ simply confirmed that there was shooting at First avenue but could not state whether any arrest was made

Lagos explosion: Police arrest suspected mastermind
LAGOS — An alleged mastermind and prime suspect of Monday bomb
explosion at Miracle Sand Beach in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of
Lagos State,which killed the chairman of Sand Dredgers Association,
Chief Oladele Pius, and injured a Police Inspector, has been arrested.
The suspect whose identity could not be ascertained was alleged to
have orchestrated the explosion with the help of nine other persons.
Surprisingly, he was discovered to be one of the deceased oldest staff.
Vanguard gathered that he was arrested at the scene of the blast, yesterday, while retrieving some wires buried under the sand, suspected to have been connected to the explosive device which rocked the area.
None, at first, raised an eyebrow when he was sighted loitering around the explosion scene, which has been vacated by the deceased colleagues. But all of a sudden, a man later discovered to be an undercover policeman reportedly appeared from nowhere and apprehended him with the wires.
Although it could not be ascertained what his mission was, Police sources hinted that it could have been a ploy to further hinder the already difficult attempt by bomb experts to ascertain the type of explosives used.
Effort to reach the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, on the arrest failed. But sources at the Police Headquarters, confirmed the arrest, hinting that investigation at the end would ascertain the real position.
“Yes, it is true that we are holding someone in connection with Monday’s explosion. We are still quizzing him. From the way he is talking, he looks suspicious. But we cannot outrightly state whether he is the prime suspect or not now until investigation is concluded,” Police sources told Vanguard yesterday.
Youths plan protest
Meanwhile, youths and beneficiaries of the late Oladele’s kind gesture still throng his apartment.
When Vanguard visited, the youths were planning to stage a peaceful protest to Alausa to expressed their displeasure at the Lagos State Police Command position that an electrical fault caused the death of their benefactor and also to appeal to Governor Babatunde Fashola to prevail on the Police to fish out perpetrators of the dastardly act. They even deprived some policemen from entering the deceased duplex
However, family members o f the late Oladele have reportedly started making arrangement on his interment.

Suspect names 9 accomplices
It was also gathered that during interrogation, the suspect
mentioned nine other persons as his accomplices. At press time, it was
gathered that the investigative team headed by the Area ‘E’ Commander,
Mr Dan Okoro, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, was on the trail of
the suspects mentioned. It was, however, said that some of them had
bolted.“Yes, it is true that we are holding someone in connection with Monday’s explosion. We are still quizzing him. From the way he is talking, he looks suspicious.

Lagos explosion: Bomb experts confused over type of device
bomb experts are finding it difficult to ascertain the type of
explosive used for the substance which exploded, Monday, at Miracle
Sand Beach, in Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos, killing the
Chairman of the Sand Dredgers Association, Chief Oladele Pius, and
injured a policeman.
The experts, according to a reliable source, suspect that the exhibits at the explosive scene were tampered with before their arrival.
Consequently, some of the bomb experts visited the explosion scene again, yesterday, to get fresh clues for their investigation.
But it was learnt that they arrived the scene late, on the day of the incident, an action our source said was attributed to lack of logistics.
One of them who could not hide his consternation over the report, attempted to rough handle some newsmen, blaming them for taking sides with the police. The report, according to some of them, was part of the reason why some journalists were barred from entering the deceased’s apartment.
“Why would you people believe everything that is said? Is investigation not part of your job. Look around for yourselves, are there any electrical gadgets here? Then, why must you add that in your report?” Mr Showunmi, as he was later identified, asked.
However, Police sources hinted that the major substance of Improvised Explosive Device IED, among the exhibits were absent, hinting that they could have been tampered with before the arrival of bomb experts. But the wire and battery were said to be the only components of IED.
Sources said from the length of the recovered wire, it was obvious that the explosive could have been planted and controlled through the river, a vantage position attributed to the ease with which the mission was accomplished
Among them were social miscreants, who staged a protest against what they described as a premeditated act.
They alleged that the deceased whom they all referred to as Apase, could have been killed by his rivals over chairmanship tussle.
In a show of solidarity to their late benefactor, the youths took over security, as they conducted search on every caller at the residence. The search, according to them, was to ensure that those they alleged killed Oladele would not come and plant another bomb in his residence.
Some arrests made
Vanguard reliably gathered that as part of on-going investigation, some persons have been arrested over the tragic incident. The arrested persons were reportedly those who spoke with the deceased shortly before the explosion occurred.
Vanguard’s findings revealed that after the late Oladele left his office for home that fateful morning, he was reluctant to go back to the office, as he complained to his second wife, Seun, of having an usual feeling.
The first phone call he received was reportedly from the policeman that was with him when the blast occurred. Other calls came in at about 10.54 am, 11.06 am, 11,25am and 11.30am respectively.
The persistent call which eventually forced the Ondo State-born father of five out of bed came i, two seconds intermittently.
It was also learnt that the late Oladele had once escaped an assassination attempt.
“Several assassination attempts, including diabolical, have been made on his life in the past but none succeeded. I think they wanted to ensure he died this time around, that was why they planted a bomb where he usually seat,” one of the sympathizers said.
The experts, according to a reliable source, suspect that the exhibits at the explosive scene were tampered with before their arrival.

Colleagues disagree with CP
Meantime, bemoaning the loss of Oladele, his colleagues at Miracle
Sand Beach, eulogized his virtues, expressing their displeasure over the
Lagos State Police Commissioner’s statement that the tragic incident
was caused by an electrical fault.One of them who could not hide his consternation over the report, attempted to rough handle some newsmen, blaming them for taking sides with the police. The report, according to some of them, was part of the reason why some journalists were barred from entering the deceased’s apartment.
“Why would you people believe everything that is said? Is investigation not part of your job. Look around for yourselves, are there any electrical gadgets here? Then, why must you add that in your report?” Mr Showunmi, as he was later identified, asked.
Materials collected from the scene
So far, it was gathered that materials collected from the scene of
the blast included blood stained sand; pieces of black Jumbo radio set,
six 1.5 volt tiger head battery, red and white wire measuring 34cm in
length; flexible twin wire measuring 529 centimeters in length and one
glass tumbler.However, Police sources hinted that the major substance of Improvised Explosive Device IED, among the exhibits were absent, hinting that they could have been tampered with before the arrival of bomb experts. But the wire and battery were said to be the only components of IED.
Sources said from the length of the recovered wire, it was obvious that the explosive could have been planted and controlled through the river, a vantage position attributed to the ease with which the mission was accomplished
Benefactors suspect foul play
Sympathisers, majority of whom claimed to be beneficiaries of the
deceased’s benevolence, besieged his Lake View estate residence to
condole the widows.Among them were social miscreants, who staged a protest against what they described as a premeditated act.
They alleged that the deceased whom they all referred to as Apase, could have been killed by his rivals over chairmanship tussle.

Cops are investigating why Aaron Dugmore killed himself in what appears to be Britain’s second youngest suicide caused by bullying. He was found unconscious at home by distraught mum Kelly, 30, and died 24 hours later in hospital on Tuesday.
He recently joined 450-pupil Erdington Hall primary in Birmingham, which said he “settled in quickly”. But emotional Facebook tributes spoke of bullying. Cousin Jack Jones wrote: “RIP Aaron. You can rest now with nobody to hurt you.”
Kelly posted the last photos of her boy online and wrote: “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Xxxx” A neighbour said: “Aaron had been targeted by a gang of older bullies at school as he was the new kid but no one thought it was any more than playground stuff.””
