14-Year-Old Boy Rapes Girl To Death In Lagos


A 14-year-old boy is now under investigation over allegations that he raped a nine-year-old girl to death.
It was revealed that she sustained injuries as a result of consistent rape.
She was reportedly raped over 5 times by Onyi Adimabua, in Lagos.
According to the father of the victim, Onyi is the son of the proprietor of the school his daughter attended.

The 77-year-old man said his daughter died on October 3, 2013.
He said, “Up until my daughter’s death, she was a pupil of Fulfilled Greenland School, Ikorodu, and she was in primary three. One day, she came home and started complaining of pains around her vagina, stomach area. We rushed her to Ikorodu General Hospital.
“A doctor checked her and after conducting some tests on her, told us that my daughter had sustained medical complications due to forced sexual intercourse. I was alarmed by this; so, I had a private discussion with my daughter.
 
“She told me that it was her school proprietor’s son, Onyi, that had been raping her. The boy had threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone about it.”
He also recounted that after initial treatments, he took his daughter to Arogbo in Ondo State to be taken care of but her condition continued to deteriorate.
A few days after the troubled father travelled to Ondo State, Onyi, accompanied by his parents, also travelled to Ondo State, to apologise to Jigo’s family. The girl, however, was said to have died that very day.

“On getting to the house where my daughter was, we discovered that she was dead. Onyi confessed that he had been raping my daughter prior to her death,’ Jigo said.
Onyi’s parents,  have described the incident as the handiwork of the devil.
The 14-year-old boy’s father, Andrew Adimabua, said, “I trained that boy in the way of the Lord and expected so much from him. He has confessed to the act; there is nothing to hide. He told me that he learnt about sex by watching blue (pornographic) films.

“We are not hiding him and we will cooperate with the police. On the day the little girl died, he was beaten up and made to stay in the rain for hours. As a result, he contracted pneumonia so we sent him home for treatment. When he recovers, he’ll be taken to the police for questioning.”

My Husband Wants To Kill Me With Torture – Governor Chime’s Wife Cries Out

This is a classical case of not all that glitters is gold. Ladies really need to understand that getting married to a wealthy man is not all that matters, but a man that true loves you. Below is the current travails of Clara Chime, the wife of the governor of Enugu State. She is crying out for help.

Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State, says Governor Sullivan Chime, has placed her under house arrest, and has cried out for help to human rights bodies to come to her rescue immediately.
     In a letter dripping with pain and suffering, Mrs. Chime (pictured above with Governor Chime) disclosed that she married Mr. Chime in Oct. 2008 but revealed that she has not been able to sleep with him for over four years.

Describing her desperate situation, she said that even President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan have intervened with her husband without success.
“My father is late, my Mum and few of my siblings are confused and have done all kinds of prayers they know of. 3 of my siblings prefers me dead than to see me leave the Government house. He treats my Mum and my siblings bad,” she wrote.

The Enugu State First Lady said she has been introduced to two psychiatrists whose names she gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who have prescribed “all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping me acute depressed and also drives me into hallucinations.”
The doctors, she noted, are scared of her husband the Governor, to whom nobody can tell the truth.
According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu state (Callistus Onaga), and top priests have come to intervene, as have the President and the First Lady of the nation, without success.
Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor Chime has ordered her to leave with her four-year old son whom she conceived before their wedding. However, the governor, according to her, later threatened to disown the boy should she leave with him.

“He has told everyone he can reach that there is no marriage between us that I can leave if I wish to but whenever I plan to leave he instructs them to lock me in. I have told him through Sms that I will leave my son behind and leave alone but still he instructed his securities to lock me inside the house.”
Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost touch with the real world and all that makes her beautiful because of the side effects of the drugs she is taking, stressing that she is under house arrest for committing no crime.

Of the situation in Government House, she said, “He does not take care of me personally, the government gives me allowance to run the house and that’s where I save little from to take care of my self, my Mum and few of my siblings. He shut me out of his life years ago; I don’t have access to his apartment. The problem is enormous; I don’t know where to start to explain from.”
She said that even the security detail in the lodge has resorted to praying for her, while the few that can be bought with money are taking advantage of the situation.
“Police and SS men have been instructed by Gov Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place for a long time now against my wish [but] it is my wish to leave this premises,” she said, begging, “Please assist me to reach to the human rights and say to them to please come hastily and release me.”

HOW NIGERIAN EMBASSY RESCUED KIDS SEIZED FOR ADOPTION IN SPAIN

But for the timely intervention of Nigerian embassy in Spain, Nigerian couples would have forcefully lost their kids to surrogate parents.
However , in October 3 and 4, 2013, the kids aged six, four, three, and a month old, with their mother in company of a female embassy staff, were among passengers on board of Iberia Airline flight 3336 from Madrid to Lagos.


Three of the children were taken and separated from their parents about two years ago while the youngest, was taken from his mother immediately after delivery at the hospital.
According to the father of the siblings, Chris Osinachi, who lives in Murcia, Spain, the children had been in custody of Spanish authorities since on December 26, 2012.


Narrating his story to Saturday Independent at Madrid Barajas International Airport, hours before they boarded flight to Nigeria, he explained that he had left home to search for job and her ailing wife who was being taken to the hospital pleaded with their Spanish neighbours to help look after the kids pending her return. But unknown to the woman, the neighbours had another plan,
When Osinachi returned home, he was told that the kids had been handed over to the Spanish Social Security Workers. When he and his wife approached the social security agents, they were denied access to the children

 
The agent insisted that they would not be allowed custody of the kids until they showed proof that they could take care of the children.
The proof include verifiable source of income, accommodation and others things.
The couples found it challenging to meet conditions as family survived on the income of Osinachi’s wife.
While they were denied custody of their children, the couple had another baby on August 20, 2013. Immediately after the delivery at the hospital, the baby was seized the Spanish authorities.

 
While the couples were in dilemma, they got information that their kids were to be adopted, but a timely intervention of a Nigerian Embassy staff, Deputy Consul, Nze Nnamdi saved the situation and the kids were eventually handed over to their parents for eventual deportation to Nigeria.

3-Year Old Boy Dies While Hugging Electrocuted Mum + 3 Others In Agege


On Wednesday, October 16, a day after Muslim folks celebrated Sallah, tragedy struck at Oniwaya Junction, Agege, Lagos, as a high tension cable electrocuted four people in the area.
A woman, identified as Mrs. Oluwajedalo but popularly called Iya Fathia, survived the electrocution but lost his three-year-old son, Ayomide, who ran towards her and embraced her as electric shock overtook her.

The incident was still a hot topic of discussion when Saturday PUNCH visited the area on Tuesday as some people were seen discussing it in the front of house Number 88, Oniwaya Road, where the incident occurred.
There is a transformer located at Oniwaya Junction. House no 88 is just two houses away from the transformer.

A resident of the house, Mr. James Eboh, promptly pointed to a paper on a wall, a poster of the four victims of the electrocution – Ayomide Oluwajedalo (3), Sunday Hisaun (25), Samson Akinrinsoye (25) and Matthew (37).
Eboh shook his head and said the three-year-old victim should not have died.
He said, “The incident occurred around 8pm. There was a spark on the transformer over there. As we heard the spark, everybody scampered for safety because it had happened before.

A cable detached from the transformer as the spark went off. It fell on this shop here (in the front of No 88). Iya Fathia moved towards the shop to warn the shop owner, who was inside at the time. But she stepped on a metal on which the shop was built.
“As the electric shock went through her body, she was shaking violently. Ayomide who sighted her mother at the entrance of the house, ran towards her and embraced her. He died on the spot. But his mother survived.

“I am the closest friend of Iya Fathia (Ayomide’s mother) in this house. I was one of those who took her to a hospital in Egbeda. It is just sad because the woman is not sane at the moment.”
Asked how Mrs. Oluwajedalo could be located, Eboh said her family had requested for her discharge at the hospital in Egbeda where she was undergoing treatment and taken her to Ijebu-Ode.
“The woman was still in shock and she did not seem to be improving. The family had spent a lot on her treatment. They decided to move her to Ijebu-Ode because the cost was becoming unbearable for them. The last time I spoke with her in Egbeda, she was not sounding normal. She was only saying, ‘My son is not dead! My son is okay! My son is not dead,” Eboh said.

He explained that the young victim had been buried at the Jafojo Cemetery.
Abiola Oladimeji, who was in his shop when the high tension cable fell on it, said he survived by divine grace.
“I was told Iya Fathia was coming to alert us when she was electrocuted. It is just unfortunate,” he said.

It was a wonder that Oladimeji was not electrocuted because his shop on which the cable fell is a moveable metal container.
“I was lucky because there were wooden panels inside the shop. If not because of that, I would not be standing here talking to you today,” the young man said.
Residents of Oniwaya could not provide any information on where Matthew and Hisaun lived before their death. But they gave direction to a house where Akinrinsoye lived which is not far from where he died.
A resident of the house told Saturday PUNCH that his relations had taken his body from the mortuary to his hometown.

“He was not married; he was living alone here. The day he died, he said he was going to the junction to eat in a canteen there,” the resident said.
Information gathered in the area where the incident occurred indicated that such electrocution had taken place in the same spot on several occasions in the last three years.
A petty trader, whose shop faces the ‘transformer of death’ directly, said about the middle of last year, there was a spark on the transformer.

The man who preferred to be called just Alhaji, said, “It was just like this one too. A cable fell down as the spark occurred. It fell on a policeman. The power of the electric current flung the man into the gutter there and he died instantly.

“There was also a time a motorcycle was parked close to the transformer. A cable sparked and fell on it. It burnt the machine completely. Luckily, nobody was on the motorcycle that day.”
Oladimeji, who had earlier spoken with our correspondent, corroborated this as well. He said he could recall at least three previous incidents in the same place.

He stated, “Just this time last year, a policeman who was holding a gun, was electrocuted right here. There was a time a motorcycle parked close to the transformer was burnt.
“Apart from that, there was also another incident involving a motorcycle. I cannot really recall if it was early last year or the year before. A rider and a passenger were passing by when a cable sparked and fell on them. They were both electrocuted.

“Why is it that officials of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria cannot do something about this issue? Are they only concerned about collecting money? They are aware because they always come here after each incident to remove the cables.”
When Saturday PUNCH got to the scene on Tuesday, the cable that caused the electrocution had been removed.
It is common to see high tension cables hanging precariously over residential areas in Lagos.
But residents of Oniwaya said the fact that there had been incidents of electrocution in the same place in the past should have been a reason for PHCN to put in place measures that could protect residents if a spark occurs.

The residents were angry and on the night the incident occurred, a number of youths stormed the palace of the Olu of Agege, Oba Oyedeji Isiba.
Saturday PUNCH visited the Olu’s palace to seek an audience with the king on Tuesday but an official, who had taken our correspondent’s identity card inside, came back later and said, “Kabiyesi is not available for comments.”

PHCN Public Affairs Manager for the Ikeja Zone, Mr. Pekun Adeyanju, told Saturday PUNCH over the phone that he just resumed from leave.
When asked if he got any report in the past about electrocution in the area, he said, “It may be speculation that there had been electrocution in the area before but I will find out about it.”
But Senior Marketing Manager, Akowonjo Business Unit of PHCN, Mr. Henry Adelakun, later told our correspondent that the officials went to the scene of the electrocution the day it happened but protesting youths did not allow them to have access to the area.

He said, “Even community leaders who have my number were already calling to caution us to stay away because of the area boys in the area. But on Friday, two days after the incident, the community leaders came to our office and we promised to remove and replace 3,000 metres of cable with new aluminium conductors.
“We later went to the area that Friday and met with the residents in company with our general manager. When we were informed that one of the victims survived but was in critical condition, the GM indicated that PHCN will do something for the woman, but in the interim, we had to quickly send some money to her from personal pockets.

“It is unfortunate this happened. We have started the removal of the old cables since Monday and should complete the process by Friday (yesterday)”
However, Saturday PUNCH visited the area on Wednesday and noticed that some of the cables had been removed.
Residents also said they had seen officials of the PHCN at work in the area.

Reckless Driver Crushes 3-year-old Girl To Death While Playing In Her Compound


When three-year-old Ikeoluwa Olaniyi was playing with her friends in her grandfather’s compound in Ire Akari Estate, Isolo, Lagos, on September 3, 2013, little did she know that death was lurking.
PUNCH Metro learnt that a teenage motorist, Chinyere Wagbaranta, in company with her brother, Chisom, and a police corporal attached to Police Mobile Force 22, Felix Adebayo, in a Mercedes Benz Sports Utility Vehicle, drove into the compound carelessly, hitting the little girl and crushing her skull.

The victim’s grandfather, Adesola Elegbede, who spoke to our correspondent while fighting back tears, said Ikeoluwa was his first grandchild.


He said, “Ikeoluwa lives with me and my wife. Her father works in a bank and her mother works with an accounting firm, which are both located on Victoria Island. Ikeoluwa attends a school in Ilasa, which is not far from our house. She stays with her parents during the weekend.


“On the day of the incident, I came in and saw her eating yam just outside the main door and told her to go inside. A few minutes later, I wanted to go to my friend who lives a few houses away from mine and Ikeoluwa attempted to follow me but she met some of her friends playing in the compound so she joined them.


“A few minutes later, I heard a loud scream that Ikeoluwa had been crushed by a vehicle in the compound. I ran to the scene and observed that the side of her head had been crushed. I saw the vehicle that hit her but the occupants had fled. I carried my granddaughter to Good Health Hospital, where she was declared dead.”


Elegbede said he immediately ran to the Isolo Police Division to report the matter and it was there that he met the culprits.


He said Chinyere drove recklessly into the compound because she was on a mission to fight one of his neighbours.


He said, “I was told that Chinyere and her brother hired the Police Mobile Force member, who is attached to a bank in the area, to escort them to our compound to fight one of my neighbour’s children.


“They drove recklessly from Ire Akari Road into my compound and after crushing my little girl, the armed MOPOL aided them in escaping from the scene.”


The grandfather said four days after the incident, Chinyere’s parents, in company with the Divisional Police Officer, Isolo, Adamu Ibrahim, and a chief in the area came to apologise over the incident, urging him not to pursue the case.


Elegbede, however, berated the police for not handling the case professionally.


He said, “When they came to visit me four days later, I was shocked that the DPO escorted them to my place. Why should the DPO be pleading on their behalf, telling me it was the will of God? Anyway, I told them to go and beg Ikeoluwa’s parents because I am not her father.


“On September 9, the DPO called me again saying the Area D Commander at Mushin wanted to see all the parties involved but on getting there, the DPO told us to return to his own station.


“When I noticed that the case was not being handled properly, I asked the DPO to transfer the matter to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, but he refused to do this.


“I am aware that Chinyere is 18 years old and is an adult. I have already started hearing that the police want to manipulate her age, get her a fake affidavit and give her a soft-landing. I will not accept this.”


The victim’s grandfather said life had not been the same since the incident occurred.


While pointing to the spot where his granddaughter’s blood was shed, he said, “I cannot believe this. We are still in shock. Her mother has had to take leave from work and travel out of the country to take her mind off things. Imagine us losing such a pleasant and brilliant girl?”


When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the accident to our correspondent.


Braide said the matter was reported as a fatal car accident and that Chinyere had been charged to court.

Couple Stabs Neighbour Over Dustbin


The police in Lagos have arrested a couple, Mr and Mrs Solomon, for allegedly stabbing their neighbour, Miss Happiness Andrew, 25, during a quarrel over dustbin.
The victim, who has been hospitalised, was allegedly stabbed in the neck and face with a broken bottle and with a knife following a little misunderstanding.

Hapiness fell down almost unconscious as blood gushed profusely from her neck and face.
She was rushed to Ajowa Hospital, Araromi, in the night immediately after the incident occurred where the doctor and nurses in the hospital battled to save her life.
P.M.NEWS gathered that the attack happened at their residence at 4, Modupe Ayode Street, Araromi area of Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria. The police arrested the man and his wife who hail from Edo State, and charged them to court.

Happiness, a security guard working at an eatery at Tollgate area, narrated to our reporter on her hospital bed what happened on the fateful day at the two-storey building where she lives with her sister.

She said there was a misunderstanding over the issue of refuse being dumped in her sister’s dustbin by her neighbours after she complained about it because none of the neighbours help to throw it away when the PSP people come around.

Happiness said their neighbour, Mrs Solomon, popularly called Mama Osas, heard her complaining and reported the matter to her elder sister, which made her furious and spoke to her rudely the following day when she came back from work.

“When my sister came back from work, she was talking to me angrily and saying that she will leave the house for us and run away since we cannot take care of her house when she is away. I did not reply her and this continued till Sunday. And when I finally challenged her, she told me what Mama Osas told her about the dustbin.

“I told my sister that I did not mention anybody’s name and that I can call people to witness to it. I went to call one of the witnesses to confirm what I said that day. As we were talking, Mama Osas came to the scene and was pointing her finger close to my face and saying that she was going to fight me, but I told her that there was no way I could fight with her,” she explained.
According to her, as the altercation was on, Mr Solomon came to the scene with his 14-year old boy, and thinking he wanted to call his wife to order, someone suddenly stabbed her in the neck and another by the side of her head, and she immediately fell down, bled profusely and became unconscious.

She said it was later she learnt that it was Mr Solomon who allegedly stabbed her in the neck with a broken bottle and on her face with a knife, saying that after carrying out the act, Mama Osas rushed to the Mosalashi Police Station before them to report that she was attacked by her neighbour.
However, Happiness’ family members also went to the police station with the landlord of the house to report the incident.
“The landlord told the police that it was the couple that stabbed me and the police arrested the woman while her husband ran away. He was later arrested and both of them were charged to the Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court and remanded in Kirikiri Prison,” she said.
Mrs Esther Ogwu, Executive Director, Esther Child Rights Foundation, said her organization would pursue the case in court to a logical conclusion, describing the couple as wicked for carrying out such a dastardly act.

She said her foundation would petition the Office of Public Defender, OPD, to take up the case on behalf of the victim as it was a case of attempted murder.
Dr. Ige Omolade of Ajowa Hospital, told P.M.NEWS that Andrew was drenched in pool when she was rushed to the hospital on the fateful night.

He said she was responding very fast and in stable condition, assuring that she would soon be okay and ready to be discharged from the hospital.
