LASPOTECH Staff School Student’s death: three workers of the institution remanded
Following the death of Abdulrahman Dauda, the student of Lagos State Polytechnic, now Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Staff Secondary School recently killed by a speeding vehicle, three workers of the institution have been remanded in Kirikiri Maximum Prison pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP), Lagos State.
Mr. Kuye Lanre, the public relations officer of the institution, revealed this to FIJ on Thursday.
When further asked to provide more details on the case, Lanre declined on the premise that the matter was being handled by a court of law.
“As I speak with you, three of our colleagues are in Kirikiri prison awaiting the DPP’s advice. So, I cannot comment on that,” Lanre told FIJ on the phone.
During FIJ’s visit to the school on Wednesday, Fagbenro Ibrahim, the acting principal of the school, simply told our reporter that the matter was in court, adding that “the Lagos State Government has taken over the case”.

MORE DETAILS ON THE INCIDENT
A security guard who refused to mention his name explained to FIJ that on the day Dauda’s mother came to organise a solo protest in front of the staff school’s gate, the management drafted him and others to the scene to ensure orderliness.
He said, “The day his mother came, the university management deployed us to the scene. As a father, I pitied the woman. As a result of the incident, the management had directed us to join the secondary school security team,” he told FIJ.

“Let me also tell you that the school was immediately closed down when the event happened. They just resumed last week to allow the students continue their examinations.
“I do not know at what point he died. But he was rushed to a hospital,” he said, believing this reporter was a student of the institution.
He was unable to provide a response to our reporter’s question on how Dauda could run pass both the staff school’s gate and the university’s main gate without being stopped by either of the teams of armed and unarmed security personnel stationed at both gates.
A female security guard at the institution said until the incident, the security guards manning the university were never posted to the staff school.
“As you can see, our uniforms are different; ours is orange while the staff school’s is black with white stripes. However, the incident prompted the management to ask us to join them (staff school) in manning their gate,” she explained to FIJ.
A campus driver also explained to FIJ that Dauda was said to have given his fellow student a chemical substance when they were in the school’s laboratory.
His words, “They were in the laboratory on that day and they said he gave his friend a chemical solution. His friend consumed it and went unconscious. He’s now fine.”
“With fear, and in an attempt escape a reprimand, he ran out of the school. As his his teacher was chasing him, he was crushed to death on the expressway in front of the university.

“He was not a small boy. He was in Senior Secondary School 2 and was about 18 years old. Unfortunately, the driver who killed him sped off.”
Our reporter observed a heavy presence of a joint team of security agents, such as policemen and soldiers, on the campus during his visit.

Delta lady dies after 2 friends pushed her into pot of boiling pepper
Delta lady dies after 2 friends pushed her into pot of boiling pepper
A Nigerian man identified as Israel Joe, has revealed how his friend, Roseline, died after she was pushed into a boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by her two female friends in Sapele, Delta State.
Joe stated that Roseline, a caterer, went on a trip with her friends to Sapele for a catering job where she tragically passed away on Saturday, April 13.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Joe said that before her untimely death, Roseline confided in him about two of her friends who were treating her coldly.
He urged the Nigeria Police to investigate and arrest the killers of Roseline, pointing out that no progress has been made in the case since her murder.
Joe’s post read, “She was pushed into a big boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by her friend on Saturday, 13th April. She battled for about two weeks with her roasted/boiled body and finally ḍíęɗ last week Friday 26th April.

“Nobody in the neighborhood in Otokutu knew Roseline had been allegedly kíIIed by these same friends. She was buried with no one to bid her goodbye and with no single bųríaI poster to honour her. Just two days in the morgue, the mørtųarƴ attendants demanded she be carried away to be buried.
“She traveled with them for a catering job in Sapele where they were speaking their local language with this Yoruba girl, Rozzy, not understanding their conversation.
“All of a sudden, she landed in a very big pot of boiling fresh pepper and tomatoes where they even still delayed in rescuing her. She was later rushed to Sage Hospital by Estate in Warri, where they managed the situation, but my friend couldn’t make it.”
Joe said he was pained that those responsible for her death were still walking free.
He added, “What pains me is that these two girls are still walking and gallivanting everywhere like nothing happened. I hate intimidation and oppression, especially against non-indigenous persons. The police must smoke them out so they can face the law. Na God dey help who nor get helper.
“We shall fight for Rozzy. You can not just be kíIIęɗ like a chicken and bųřried like an aŋímąl. Nobody deserves such a hørribIe dęąth. We never got to meet Rose, only chatting on Facebook due to endless busy schedules only to see you, at the most disgusting sight at Sage Hospital, hoping for your recovery, but dęąțĥ stole you Justice shall prevail, including if you would be exhumed.”

Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State has adjourned till June 3, further hearing in the divorce suit brought before it by a man, Ige, against his wife, Sikira, whom he accused of irresponsibility and infidelity.
Ige added that Sikira was a dupe.
According to Ige, Sikira lacked the ability to take proper care of him and their children and always carried out her duties towards them in a lackadaisical manner.
The plaintiff explained further that the defendant encouraged him to employ the service of a particular plumber when he was building his house, but unknowing to him, the man was her lover.
Ige stated that Sikira was having s3xual affair with the plumber on a regular basis while he was at work.
The plaintiff added that the defendant connived with the plumber to dupe him by adding extra amount to every item he bought when carrying out plumbing work at his site.
Ige said that Sikira eventually moved out of his house and went with all his property.
The plaintiff stated that he desired a fresh start and therefore wanted a clean cut from his wife, which was why he was in court.
The defendant denied all the allegations brought against her but gave in to divorce.
The defendant described the plaintiff as the pot calling the kettle black.
According to the defendant, the plaintiff was in the habit of drinking himself to stupour and beating her.

She told the court how she caught her husband having sex with a teenager in their apartment.
Sikiral further explained that he once came back home drunk and that he beat and tore her clothes to shreds.

Ige gave his testimony, saying, “My lord, I came to court today because I want a clean cut from my wife.
“Sikira has ridiculed me enough. My life is also not safe with her.
“I met and fell in love with her, and went to her parents with my family to ask for her hand in marriage.
“I paid her bride price and provided all that her family demanded as marital rite.
“Sikara, after all I have spent, got to my house and started misbehaving.
“I realised after we got married that she lacked the ability to run a proper home.
“My wife was lackadaisical concerning my welfare and that of our children.
“The attention and dedication of a loving mother and wife was obviously missing in our lives.
“Sikirat preferred to be out all day than stay back home to keep me and our children company.
“My lord, I stopped trusting my wife a long time ago.
“Sikira is wicked and was unfaithful to me.
“She introduced a plumber to me when I was building my house, and I employed him to do the plumbing work.
“I never had an inkling that the man was her lover.

“They were consistently having s3xual affair while I was away at work.
“Sikira went further to connive with this man to dupe me.
“She would ask him to add an amount to the items he purchased for the plumbing work and collect this from him.
“My wife made our home a hell to live in and also made my life miserable.
“She later left with all my property.
“My lord, I want to put my past behind me and start life afresh.
“I, therefore, pray that this court grant me a clean cut from my wife.
“My lord, I pray that you dissolve our marriage and grant me custody of our children, who she hardly showed affection towards.”
Sikira stated, “My lord, my husband is the pot calling the kettle black.
“All he said about me are lies.
“Ige is irresponsible. He was always drinking himself to stupour and punching me.
“I once caught him having sex with a teenager in our room.
“He once came back home drunk and, as usual, descended on me with punches.
“He went further to tear my clothes, took my nude pictures and sent them to his girlfriend.
“His girlfriend urged him to afflict me with madness.
“She told him it would only cost him N200 to do so.
“I did not pack out of his house. He threw my belongings out.
“I am also no longer willing to stay married to him.
“I pray that our marriage be dissolved.”
The court president, Mrs S.M Akintayo adjourned the case.

Ex-FCMB manager sentenced to 121-year imprisonment
Justice S. N. Odili of the Anambra State High Court sitting in Onitsha, Anambra State, has convicted and sentenced a former manager with First City Monument Bank, FCMB, Onitsha branch, Nwachukwu Placidus, to a cumulative 121 years imprisonment.
A statement issued by the anti-graft agency on Saturday said Placidus bagged the jail term for diverting fixed deposit funds of a customer to the tune of N112,100,000 for his personal use.
He was arraigned on Tuesday, March 27, 2018 on 16-count charges bordering on forgery, stealing, obtaining by false pretence and uttering, by the Enugu Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
One of the counts reads: “Nwachukwu Placidus between February 2009 and November 2014 in Onitsha, Anambra State within the jurisdiction of the Anambra State High Court of Nigeria with intent to defraud obtained the sum of (N112,100,000) One Hundred and Twelve Million, One Hundred Thousand Naira only, from Idemili Microfinance Bank under the false pretence that you have placed the said money in a fixed deposit account with First City Monument Bank PLC for it, which pretence you knew to be false and you thereby committed an offence”.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read to him, thus setting the stage for his trial.
In the course of trial, the EFCC, through its counsel, Mainforce Ekwu presented four witnesses and tendered several relevant documents which were admitted in evidence.
In his judgment, Justice Odili held that “the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt” and sentenced the convict to nine years imprisonment on count 3, 4 years on count 4 and 9 years on counts 5 to 16 respectively. He was discharged on counts 1 and 2. The sentences shall run concurrently.
The court further ordered the convict to restitute the said sum to his victim, Idemili Microfinance Bank.
Placidus ’journey to the Correctional Centre began when a petitioner , Idemili Microfinance Bank LTD, alleged that the sum of N112, 100, 000 was handed over to him as the branch manager of FCMB in Onitsha, for fixed deposit. However, when the petitioner approached the bank to terminate and withdraw the deposit, the bank denied receiving the said funds.
Upon receipt of the petition, the EFCC swung into action and investigations revealed that the convict diverted the money for his own use and issued a fake fixed Deposit Certificate to the petitioner.
