Young boys who made up a robbery gang have been nabbed in the middle of their evil craft after they grabbed a bag containing fufu and stew without realizing their folly.



 Three suspected teenage robbers were on Friday arrested by the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, of the Lagos State Police Command for snatching a handbag containing wraps of ‘fufu’ and beef stew thinking they had made a fortune.
The suspects, Daniel Dali, 19, Emmanuel Ashaolu, 17 and Bright Ikenna, 17, who specialised in snatching valuables using motorcycles, aka okada, were arrested around 10:48pm in the Ajegunle area by a team of RRS men on patrol.

Dali, an okada rider from Cotonu, and Ashaolu were said to have snatched a handbag from a yet-to-be identified lady and unknown to them, the bag contained two wraps of fufu and stew.

According to reports their victim shouted for help, which prompted the RRS team to pursue the duo.
Ashaolu was apprehended on the chase while Dali escaped.
The RRS commander, Tunji Disu, however, said the RRS team later mobilised a decoy team, who combed the area, leading to the arrest of Dali, the okada rider, and Ikenna.
Disu said,

At the suspects’ apartment, two other roommates were arrested, but were later released after cross-examination by RRS officials.
 
Dali confessed to have started the business of okada-snatch-and-run in April 2015.
According to him,
My mother’s death forced me into robbery. My mother gave me everything I wanted. After her death, I had no helper. Bright and I have been to four operations.
In one of our outings, we snatched a recharge card worth N35, 000. He sold it and gave me only N5, 000. We don’t use guns; we have never operated with guns. We snatch valuables and escape on an okada. We have our routes. They are Boundary, Mile 2, New Roundabout, Wilma and Ajegunle.
The okada we use was bought for me by a lady. I pay her in installment. I have paid N75, 000 out of N300, 000, the 19-year-old said.
 On his part, Ikenna said he had operated with the gang seven times, adding that several boys do the ‘okada-snatch-and-run’ business in Ajegunle.
I know of a team, which live in different hotels, sleep in day time and operate at night. This is the only job they do to survive, he noted.
Confirming the incident also, the state police spokesperson, Dolapo Badmos, said the suspects had given information that would lead to the arrest of more members of the gang.
Badmos said the suspects had been transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investigation, SDCI.

RE: "I did not promise to build Labour party" Peter Obi is an epitome of dishonesty and a serial betrayal - Arabambi

Our attention has been drawn to a statement that was credited to HE Peter obi, the labour party presidential candidate at the 2023 general elections.   While addressing Nigerians on X space,  Peter obi was quoted as saying that "we promised to build Nigeria, we did not promise to build a New Labour Party". We find that statement to be shocking, appalling, awful, disgraceful, horrible and extremely shameful.  However we must state that we are not surprised at his comment especially as he had always exhibited acts of betrayal, disloyalty, treachery and outright breach of trust. Consequently, the labour party Nigeria will like to tender an unreserved apology to all Nigerians and especially all members of labour party for our indescretion, miscalculation, mistake and error of allowing a serial betrayal, insincere and dishonest individual to desecrate our well respected and Honourable platform to take advantage of innocent and unsuspecting populace. Accordingly, despite t...

LETTER OF LABOUR PARTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO INEC........ THIS IS WHY INEC STOPPED RECOGNISING ABURE AS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF LABOUR PARTY The Nigeria Labour Congress has written the Independent National Electoral Commission, urging it to halt any support for the national convention of the Labour Party scheduled for March 27, 2024. In a Friday letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, the NLC accused the Chairman of the Labour Party, Mr Julius Abure, and his associates of planning an illegal convention in defiance of court orders. The NLC’s solicitors, Falana and Falana’s Chambers, in the letter dated March 22, 2024, highlighted the illegality of such a gathering, citing previous court rulings that declared the Labour Party’s status and ordered inclusive conventions. The NLC, in the letter signed by Marshal Abubakar, threatened legal action if INEC failed to comply with the demand to prevent what they deemed a breach of justice and the rule of law. The congress’ lette...

Ignore INEC shenanigans ,Sola Ebiseni remains the Governorship candidate of Labour Party.

Ignore all machinations, Sola Ebiseni remains the Governorship candidate of Labour Party. Once again, the Labour Party Campaign Organisation is inundated with calls on the purported replacement of Chief Sola Ebiseni, our Governorship candidate, with Ayo Olorunfemi less than 24 hours to the Ondo State Governorship election tomorrow. Contrary to the false report, the candidacy of Ebiseni was the decision of the Party presided over by the National Working Committee led by Julius Abure of which Ayo Olorunfemi is a member after the latter, who was a placeholder, voluntarily withdrew his candidacy backed with sworn affidavit, an undisputed fact confirmed by the Courts. For the umpteenth time and avoidance of doubt, Ayo Olorunfemi was not a party to any of the cases either at the High Court or the Court of Appeal and his Appeal as an Interested party was dismissed. There is no subsisting order of any court directing the INEC to remove or replace the name of Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni and ...
