We planned to quit the business after the abduction saga of Okonjo-Iweala’s mum — Marvelous, alleged kidnappers’ leader

The suspected kidnappers paraded on Monday by the Lagos Police Command for the kidnapping the mther of Minister of Finance 82 years old Prof Mrs. Okonjo recently in Delta State at the Lagos Police Command Headquarters, GRA, Ikeja
The suspected kidnappers of the  mother of Minister of Finance 82 years old Prof . Okonjo recently in Delta State .
When I came back to Nigeria from Ghana, I   had no job and my parents were very poor. I met some of my classmates who were doing very well  and they told me they were into kidnapping. I offered to join  them because I was very poor and I needed a way out and they accepted me.   We kidnapped a businessman in Asaba and we got  20million ransom but the people I did the job with were very greedy.  They gave me just N900,000, and I rented an apartment with it in Port Harcourt and I decided to form my own gang.   I contacted  Okoh Chukwuma aka Chuks, 32, from Isele Mkpitima in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State; Michael Ojeabulu, 23, from Esan, Edo State; Buhari Amajoda, 27, Hassan Oseni, 29, and Ibrahim Abubakar, 28, from Adamawa State; Endurance Oke, 22, from Edhere Aviraha Idowu; Peter; Ifeanyi; Mohammed and Buba.  Some of these guys are experienced kidnappers and we started operation.
Chuks was our scout. His job was to look for potential victims who could pay huge ransom.  The first job he brought  was that of his uncle who operates a popular hotel in Asaba.  We picked the man on his way home and his family paid us a ransom of N10million.  I got about N2million as my own share and used part of the money to open a boutique in Port Harcourt. I also bought a car.  We did several jobs before the Minister’s mother’s job.  When Chuks brought the job, he told us that he got the contact from the woman’s former aide who is his friend. We met with the guy identified as Chiejine Onochie and he gave us all the information  we needed for the job.
At that time, we all saw that job  as an opportunity to get rich and quit kidnapping.  Since the woman’s daughter works for government, we felt government would assist her in paying the ransom.  I had no fear of being arrested at that time because I knew there was no way we could have been traced. The negotiations for ransom were usually done with the phone of  the victim and, after making our demands, we would switch off the phone, that alone will make it difficult to track our phone lines. But while we negotiated with the woman’s (Prof. Okonjo) son,  he agreed to pay us N13million first as feeding money before bringing  the main money, but before I knew what was happening Chuks called  me and said Onochie was panicking and that  he had threatened to expose us if we didn’t release the woman. I consulted other top members of the gang and they agreed we should free the woman and withhold Chuks and Onochies share of the money.
How I traded minister’s mother with poly rector, by ex-palace guard
Chiejine Onochie, a  native of Ogwashi-Uku, claims to be related to the Okonjos. In this interview, he explains how he masterminded the kidnapping of  Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s mum.
According to him, “my mother is a member of the Okonjo family and she is from the palace where I was working as a  palace boy before I got a job at the Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku as a security guard.
“Sometime in August 2012, I met one Chukwuma Okoh in the room next to my girlfriend’s at the polytechnic hostel and we became friends. He told me that he was a fresh graduate of accounting from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State.
“I liked his lifestyle and we started hanging out together. After a couple of weeks, he started asking me questions about the rector of the polytechnic, Mrs. Edna Nneka Mogekwu. He asked about her security details and how she was moving about on the campus.  I told him that the woman was very free and she did not move about with police or security men.
“Then he told me that he wanted her kidnapped and that, that  was  the reason he was around the campus. I pleaded with him not to do it because the woman is my aunt and she was the one who gave me the job I was doing. I also explained to him that the woman was not so rich, and  that he shouldn’t do her any harm.
“But he refused and insisted that he was going to kidnap her. After some days, I called him and told him that I was from the Okonjo family and that I could deliver the mother of the Minister of Finance to them. He was shocked and I took him to the palace and showed him around before taking him to his bus stop where he boarded a bus back home.
“I decided to give them Mama Okonjo because I knew her daughter works for  government and, if we succeeded in kidnapping her, the Federal Government would assist in paying the ransom. Few days later, which was in December, he called me and said he wanted me and members of his gang to meet, so we could plan how to kidnap mama.

Suspects to disguise as Corps members
“I went and told them that they would have to disguise as corps members in search of where to work. With that I told them that they could enter the palace and probably see their target. We all agreed on that plan, but on the day they were supposed to strike, there was a renovation going on in the compound and the whole place was rowdy, so they couldn’t kidnap her.
“On the Sunday of that week, that was December 10, 2012, they asked me to go to the palace and check how the palace was. I did and told them that construction was still on but it was minimal. Some hours after, I got a call from a member of my family, asking me to rush down to the palace, that mama had been kidnapped. When I got there, the whole palace was in disarray.
“They told me how it happened and I joined them in the search and no one suspected I had a hand in it. I called Chukwuma and asked how she (mama) was faring and he said she was okay and that they had made their demands for ransom. About five days later, I got news from the palace that a ransom had been paid, but the kidnappers refused to release mama. I then called Chukwuma and asked about what was happening and he said Marvelous, who he said was the leader of the gang, said the money they collected wasn’t enough and they needed more money. I told him that wasn’t our agreement, that he should do all he could to get her released.
“In the evening of that day, mama was released and I called Chukwuma and asked for my share of the ransom. He told me that Marvelous was angry with both of us for pressurising them to free mama and vowed not to give us a dime. I was shocked. I tried reaching Marvelous but his line was switched off. I and Chukwuma were devastated but we accepted our fate.
Hotel in home town
“But, in March, there is man, Danquah, a clearing agent,  he was building an hotel in my home town. He called and asked me to take a key from the security man and give it to his mother.  I went to the hotel with Chukwuma and when he saw the place, he was elated. He asked what my brother was doing and I told him that he was a clearing agent and he asked if my brother still had  parents alive. I said it was only his mother, then he asked if we could get Marvelous and his gang to kidnap her.  I said only if we could  get our money from him. He called Marvelous and informed him of  the new plan,  but, this time,  Chukwuma would have to go to our victim and tell her that some people were trying to sell  her land and, when the woman comes out to confront them, she will be kidnapped.
They did as we agreed and a ransom was demanded. I didn’t go to the bush at Edo State where she was kept, but I called Chukwuma after a while to know if the ransom had been paid and he said he hadn’t heard a word from them, that all their lines were switched off. He then asked me to give him a  phone number of another member of the family, so he could communicate with them.  I did so; after that, he called me and said that the people had paid  some money into his sister’s account and that when he gets it, he will give me my share.  It was while I was waiting for my share that the police came and arrested men.  I didn’t know they killed the woman, it was never part of our plan”.

Face to face with serial church robbers: Fear of God meant nothing to us!

Will a man rob God? … – Malachi 3:8
To Akinbode Theophilus (30), Waidi Folorunso (27) and Wasiu Olusola (31), the answer to the question above is possibly, yes.  They are in police net accused of robbing a church, among others. The robbed church is located at Ijegun-Ikotun, Lagos.  And it wasn’t only once that the church was robbed.
Robbers attacked the church on three separate occasions during which they carted away items, the most valuable of which were musical instruments valued at hundreds of thousands of Naira. The musical instruments were believed to be the target of the robbers and the other items, secondary.
The trio of Theophilus, Folorunso and Olusola were said to have confessed to police interrogators that they were behind the serial robbery attacks on the church. Sources close to  the interrogators also quoted the suspects as admitting to carrying out  attacks on some other churches in Lagos and Ibadan.
*The suspects: Theophilus (l) and  Folorunso
*The suspects: Theophilus (l) and Folorunso
God, in Malachi 3:8, puts those robbing him,  this time of tithes and offerings, under a curse.  If it  is proven that Theophilus, Folorunso and Olusola carried out the church robberies, then they may never escape the curse of God; unless they seek genuine repentance.  The suspects arrest is as dramatic as it is mysterious. Many attributed it to nemesis and God at work.
They had allegedly broken into the headquarters of the Kingdom Zone of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ifelodun Street, Ijegun – Ikotun in the early hours of April 5, 2013. They entered the church auditorium, broke the iron cage inside which the musical instruments were secured and removed them. Not done yet, they broke into the church offices and ransacked them, apparently looking for cash and valuables.
Two of them – Theophilus and Folorunso- allegedly chartered a tricycle to convey their  loot and had successfully escaped from the area.  The suspects were said to be transferring the musical instruments from the tricycle into another one at Ikotun roundabout, some five kilometers from scene of robbery – around 5 a.m. – when a police patrol team noted their suspicious movements and accosted them.
A police source said they told the patrol team they were musicians coming from a night engagement. Not convinced, the police team, led by one Inspector Ahmed, reportedly, asked the suspects to take them to the venue of the engagement to confirm their story.  Then, on close scrutiny of the musical instruments, the policemen found the name of the church engraved on them.
The game was up. Folorunso allegedly tried to bolt away. He knocked down one of the policemen in the process.  But as he dashed across the road, an oncoming tricycle knocked him down, instantly demobilising him. Both suspects – Theophilus and Folorunso – were arrested and taken to the scene of robbery. They allegedly confessed to the crime and told the police that they had another colleague working with them.
The suspects also allegedly named a marketer at Oshodi who had been helping them to sell their loot.  The two suspects were held at Ikotun Divisional Police Station. Some officers at the station gave  the credit for the arrest  to the DPO,  CSP Austines  Akika, who, according to them, insists on ridding the area of criminal elements..
Items allegedly recovered from the suspects  were the church musical instruments, a saw, two iron bars, a master key and a padlock. Theophilus an Folorunso were later taken to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja where further investigations yielded the arrest of the third suspect, Olusola. Olusola is said to be an ‘insider’ in the Ijegun church who facilitated the robbery.
The alleged marketer to the suspects was said to be on the run. Theophilus told Sunday Vanguard that he was not resident in Lagos, and that he came in from Abeokuta where he claimed to be a teacher.  He claimed to be a university graduate.
According to the suspect, he is married with a child. Indeed, the police took him to a high profile hotel where he claimed to be lodging in Ikotun area to corroborate his statement, and he was found to be paying N6,000 per night there.  Asked if he did not fear God as to go to a church to rob, Theophilus, a Christian, said he feared God, but that, that fear paled into insignificance when the survival of his family was at stake.
The salary he earned from his teaching job in a school in Abeokuta, according to him, was too meagre to sustain the family. Folorunso was not forthcoming on his means of livelihood. Sources close to Lagos SARS told Sunday Vanguard  that all the three suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations into the case were completed.
Detectives were also on the trail of the fourth suspect on the run.  The Ijegun church sources spoke on the two previous occasions robbers broke  into the place of worship. The first time, according to them, the robbers made away with musical instruments, among other items, which were never recovered.
The second time, the robbers carted away gift items earmarked for the Bible College graduands whose graduation was scheduled to hold in  the church.  “There is the hand of God in the arrest of the suspects who are now alleged to have carried out serial robbery attacks on the church.
Don’t forget that they had successfully escaped from the scene of crime before they were apprehended at Ikotun, some five kilometers away. The arrest also shows that no matter the misgiving about the police on their effectiveness, they sometimes work”, a member of the church said.

"I Have 99 Problems and Now Jay-Z Is One," - President Obama

The annual White House Correspondent's Dinner is typically a light-hearted affair, and this year's installment was no exception. The Dinner tends to serve as an opportunity for the President to show off his sense of humor and pop culture savvy, and with a President as charismatic as Barack Obama, these events tend to be ripe with entertaining moments.
While Obama obviously poked fun at himself and at those right wing media outlets who consistently have derided him throughout his two terms in office, he made sure to offer up enough hip-hop references to have the community talking for quite some time. Prior to the President stepping to the podium, the crowd in attendance was treated to DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." Obama clearly enjoyed the moment, even synchronizing his hand gestures to match the chorus.
"How do you like my new entrance music?" Obama jokingly asked the audience, waiting for those assembled to sit back down before going right into the rest of the speech.
Later on, Obama had the chance to take a slick jab at Jay-Z, who caused a media frenzy with his visit to Cuba and subsequent "Open Letter." Talking about issues that he has to deal with that are out of his control, Obama said, "It's unbelievable... I have 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one of them." Interestingly enough, the President does not appear to be as concerned about Beyonce, who also went on the trip with her husband and created her own controversy at the recent inauguration by apparently lip-synching the National Anthem.
With the President entrenched in office for three more years at least, will the President continue to embrace hip-hop as openly as he did tonight, albeit in a joking manner? Is there any way Hov can offer up an appropriate response to Obama's comments? More importantly, has the President discovered that Khaled's ad-libs provide the self-confidence boost one needs to win a grueling election?

PHOTOS: Conjoined Twins Undergo First-Of-Its-Kind Surgery


Doctors in Virginia made science history on Monday when they successfully completed a first-of-its-kind surgical procedure to separate six-month-old conjoined twin girls.

The 14-hour operation was performed at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCUin Virginia, where the girls are now in stable condition.
A'zhari and A'zhiah Jones of Franklin, Virginia, were born as so-called thoracopagus twins, meaning their bodies were fused at the abdomen and that they had heart abnormalities.
The first stage of the Jones twins' phased separation began in October 2012, when surgeons divided their shared liver, and then closed the girls' abdomens back up.

“As the girls became critically ill over the second week of their lives, we had to urgently separate their conjoined liver as this was the source of their uncompensated cross circulation," Dr. David Lanning, surgeon-in-chief at the children's hospital, said in a written statement. "However, complete separation at that time would almost assuredly have resulted in their deaths as A’zhari was in renal failure and A’zhiah had severe cardiac hypertrophy. A phased surgery was the optimal plan."
In February 2013, surgeons placed tissue expanders in the twins’ abdomens, which enabled the growth of excess skin to be used for closure and reconstruction following surgery.

Such a phased procedure was groundbreaking, but this same medical team actually faced a similar situation before -- they also separated 19-month-old twins Maria and Teresa Tapia in November 2011.
“While A’zhari and A’zhiah look similar to the Tapia twins from the outside, we were faced with a different set of challenges that we had to overcome as a team,” Lanning said in the statement. “Despite these differences, our experience with the Tapia twins has been vitally helpful with caring for the Jones twins.”

The Tapia twins were classified as omphalopagus, meaning they were fused at the liver and upper part of the small intestine, so each twin had her own heart and kidneys.
So when it came to the Jones twins: "Because more of their chests were involved than the Tapia girls, this made closure a bit more challenging," Lanning told the Richmond Times-Dispatch about the Jones girls' surgery. "The plastic surgery team really worked to get closure of the chest and the abdomen. Even though they are closed now, we do plan to take A’zhari back after the swelling is gone down a little bit to advance some of the chest muscle flaps a bit more to provide a little bit better coverage of her heart."

 


But, how exactly may twins' bodies become fused to begin with?
It happens when a fertilized egg divides as it would in cases of identical twins, but doesn't fully separate. Conjoined twins occur in about one in 200,000 births, with around half being stillborn, according to The Guardian.
Case in point: Nachell Jones, the mother of A’zhari and A’zhiah, was 12 weeks pregnant when she learned she was having twins and then 13 weeks when doctors told her they were conjoined.

Daniel Ademinokan’s Estranged Wife Speaks!!!

 

Here is what Stella wrote on her blog after speaking with Doris Simeon
Beautiful Actress Doris Simeon is currently the centre of attention as her Ex hubby Daniel Ademinokan has supposedly Married another controversial Actress Stella Damasus.
The news went viral went it came out and though I am still doing some fact finding,I decided to call Doris today to hear what she can tell me as regards everything that has happened. Click to continue reading.
I wanted to know if she and Stella were friends at all
I wanted to know when exactly the ‘snatching’ started.
I wanted to know how she felt/feels
I wanted to know why she didn’t do anything to stop what had happened when it was happening.
I asked so many questions but Doris told me in a voice which sounded full of pain that at this time she just wants to concentrate on her work and forget about what has happened because ”It has already happened…….”
She kept saying ”No comment”……The fifth..
Doris stood her ground on not wanting to talk or exchange words with anyone and I respect her stand.
I told her ”Doris,you have a lot of support right now,why don’t you talk,your fans want to know so much….”
Doris begged for privacy at this time and I understood and let her be.
Doris Simeon has a son with ex hubby Daniel and i guess she is trying to keep it clean for her son’s sake.
When Doris and Daniel were Married I used to tell Daniel they were the best couple in town,their love was so plain to see.I don’t know what went wrong.I don’t know how or when Stella Damasus came into the picture and I am yet to confirm that they have indeed Married.
I don’t know how or when Stella and Daniel met and started dating but I still think Doris needs to paint the real picture of what happened to help others going through similar situation and too embarrassed to talk out……those too ashamed to let anyone know.
I have not been able to confirm that there was a February wedding.
However I do know from fact findings that Stella and Daniel are a pair and they have several investments together which suggests they plan/want to stay together.
