Pastor who impregnates married women and their daughters, says God directs him to do so

A 53-year-old man who claims to be a Pastor, has been arrested by the Police in Nsukka, Enugu State, for allegedly impregnating married women and young girls in his church.

The Pastor, identified as Timothy Ngwu, is the General Overseer of Holy Trinity Ministry popularly called Vineyard Ministry in Umudikwere Community in the University town. Ironically, police sources said the suspect claims he was directed by the Holy Spirit to sexually abuse female members of his church in the name of God.

How he was exposed

Crime Guard gathered that the alleged sexual exploits of the self-acclaimed man of God was blown open by his estranged wife, Veronica Ngwu, who hails from Udi Local Government Area in Enugu State.

The wife who has three children for the pastor was reportedly not comfortable with the ugly development and she lodged a complaint at the Anti-Child Trafficking Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department, CID, Enugu.This led to the arrest of the pastor.

Veronica’s case

It was learnt that during interrogation, the estranged wife of the pastor informed detectives that she escaped from the ministry with one of her daughters after her husband impregnated her niece and claimed he was obeying the directives of the Holy Spirit and a prophetic revelation.

She also informed detectives led by Gloria Udoka, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, that the situation at the church was better imagined than witnessed, alleging that her husband converts married women and single girls to his own and impregnates all of them while pretending to be obeying spiritual directives.

Pastor’s claims

The pastor reportedly claimed that he had sexual intercourse with women in his ministry as a result of directives from the Holy Spirit and with the consent of their husbands, if married, but for the single ones, a spiritual directive.

Ngwu, until his arrest, was a Scrutiny Officer and Statistician with the National Bureau of Statistics, one time assistant Catechist at St. John’s Catholic Church, Ihe-Umudikwere, Nsukka where he inducts married women and young girls seeking solution to their problems or favour. He was chased out of the Catholic Church and he started his own church.

Police Statement

The police in Enugu also alluded to the allegations when they issued a statement through the Public Relations Officer, DSP Ebere Amarizu, stating that two women among others in the enclave of the Vineyard, left their husbands to reside with the General Overseer.

According to the statement, the two women identified as Calista Omeje and Assumpta Odo confirmed that they left their husbands to live with the General Overseer on the prophetic injunction to do the will of God.

The statement noted that Calista revealed that she had 10 children for her husband but was later impregnated by the General Overseer and that the baby died later. She also said that she gave out her daughter to the General Overseer to be impregnated, an act she described as “the fulfillment of the Will of God.”

The police spokesman noted in the statement that the pastor said he had five wives with 13 children apart from other concubines he had following the prophetic directive to do the will of God. The Pastor, according to him, said that Veronica used to be his wife but described her as ‘a falling wife.’

He also said, “ I do not do anything with any married woman until the full consent and agreement were sought and reached between the husband in line with the directives of the Holy Spirit to do the will of God, which is an act of spirituality.”

Inside the Ministry

When Crime Guard traced the Vineyard Ministry, it was discovered to be located right inside the compound of the father of the General Overseer without any sign post, while about 15 women and four men were seen taking lessons from an elderly woman who acts as an instructor in the vineyard.

The entrance to the Vineyard was barricaded with heavy iron gate which bares non-members.

However, a man who identified himself as Hilary told our reporter after a heated argument that the General Overseer traveled,and advised harshly that the reporter should go back.

As soon as Hilary left to invite others to compel the reporter to leave the premises, the reporter peeped through an opening and saw a large number of children and adult women scattered inside the compound barricaded with iron gate.

Neighbours react

When Crime Guard spoke with some residents of the area, they intimated that every thing about the ministry was shrouded in secrecy, alleging that children born inside the ministry are usually confined within the compound and denied communication with any other person outside. The children have are denied formal education, except the doctrine of the ministry.

…….Brother too

A brother to the pastor who pleaded anonymity told Crime Guard that he was not surprised that police invaded the ministry, explaining that all warnings by members of the family to compel Timothy to desist from the act fell on deaf ears.

“Let me tell you, God’s anger has befallen my brother. We have appealed to him several times to stop what he was doing but he refused. He has colonized our compound, bearing children with recklessness. He accused us of being jealous of him because he is doing the Will of God,”he stated.

Lamentations

Nodding his head in disgust, he continued, “look at these buildings here, he has converted all of them to himself in the name of vineyard. I can’t say exactly what influenced his spirit to the devilish act in the name of God.

He sacked his betrothed wife who has three children for him and embarked on impregnating married women and young girls. Look at the whole compound littered with children of different sexes and ages. How can an educated man of his status reason like an unrefined man? All members of the vineyard are fools.

How can a woman abandon her husband for another man in the name of worshiping God and practice adultery? I cannot get myself involved in this matter; Vero has opened the vessel of worms in the vineyard. Let them sort themselves out with the police but I want the ministry to be shut down completely,” he explained.

Excommunication

Investigations also revealed that the General Overseer was chased out of the St. John’s Catholic Church, Ihe-Owerri, Nsukka as an Assistant Catechist when Bishop Emeritus of Nsukka Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr. Francis Okobo, discovered that he was teaching heresy. He reportedly called him to order but he would not listen.

Boko Haram Kidnaps Wife of Cameroon’s Vice Prime Minister

The wife of Cameroon’s Vice Prime Minister has been kidnapped and at least three people  killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants in the Cameroonian northern town of Kolofata on Sunday, officials said.
A local religious leader, named Seini Boukar Lamine, who is also the town’s mayor, was kidnapped as well, in a separate attack on his home.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Boko Haram has stepped up cross-border attacks into Cameroon in recent weeks as Cameroon has deployed troops to the region, joining international efforts to combat the militants.
“I can confirm that the home of Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali in Kolofata came under a savage attack from Boko Haram militants,” Issa Tchiroma told Reuters by telephone.
“They unfortunately took away his wife. They also attacked the Lamido’s residence and he was also kidnapped,” he said, and at least three people were killed in the attack.
A Cameroon military commander in the region told Reuters that the vice prime minister, who was at home to celebrate the Muslim feast of Ramadan with his family, was taken to a neighboring town by security officials.
“The situation is very critical here now, and as I am talking to you the Boko Haram elements are still in Kolofata town in a clash with our soldiers,” said Colonel Felix Nji Formekong, the second commander of Cameroon’s third inter-army military region, based in the regional headquarters Maroua.
The Sunday attack is the third Boko Haram attack in Cameroon since Friday. At least four soldiers were killed in the previous attacks.
Meanwhile, some 22 suspected Boko Haram militants, who have been held in Maroua since March, were on Friday sentenced to prison sentences ranging from 10 to 20 years.
Boko Haram have killed hundreds of people this year, mostly in northeastern Nigeria, although they have bombed places across the country.

Suspected Kaduna bomber arrested, the cow looking guy disguised as a woman

The Nigerian military on Friday said it arrested a suspected bomber who disguised himself as a woman.

A statement by the Defence Headquarters said the man who was dressed like woman was suspected to be connected with the explosion targeted at the convoy of a former military head of state, Mohammed Buhari, in Kaduna.


The attack occurred near the busy Kawo market in Kaduna, killing 15 people, the police said.
A bomb-laden car rammed into the ex-leader’s convoy after trailing it for a distance, and unsuccessfully trying to overtake the escort vehicle to reach Mr. Buhari’s armoured SUV.

 Suspected Boko Haram member who disguised as a woman The military said the suspect was arrested by a security team that arrived at the explosion site not long after the blast. He was caught while trying to merge into a crowd of onlookers.

Some youth in the area tried to lynch the suspect while he was being arrested but were restrained by troops who whisked him away in an Armoured Personnel Carrier, APC.

The statement said the suspect was currently being interrogated by security agencies to figure out his links with the attempt on Mr. Buhari’s life.

General Buhari’s Convoy Targeted By Second Kaduna Bomb Blast

A source close to former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has told SaharaReporters that a second bomb explosion that rocked the Kawo bus station in Kaduna today appeared to have targeted Mr. Buhari’s convoy. Three aides and security personnel traveling with Mr. Buhari to Daura, his hometown, have been confirmed injured in the afternoon blast.

 A source close to former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, has told SaharaReporters that a second bomb explosion that rocked the Kawo bus station in Kaduna today appeared to have targeted Mr. Buhari’s convoy. Three aides and security personnel traveling with Mr. Buhari to Daura, his hometown, have been confirmed injured in the afternoon blast. 
Our source said that the bombers had trailed Mr. Buhari’s convoy and detonated the bomb as the convoy neared a bridge in Kawo.
Our source said the retired General was in good condition, even though he was shaken up by the trauma of the attack.
“Three of General Buhari’s aides were injured this afternoon in the explosion at Kawo,” said the source. He disclosed that the injuries were not life- threatening.
An earlier bomb explosion in Kaduna claimed more than 20 lives.
Our source stated that scores of people were killed in the second bomb blast near a bridge in Kawo. He added that numerous people, including a security aide to Mr. Buhari and two others in the ex-general’s convoy, sustained varying degrees of injury.
The source disclosed that the Kawo bus stop explosion happened as Mr. Buhari’s convoy was passing through the area. He said the ex-head of state, who is a top official of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as a staunch critic of President Goodluck Jonathan, was returning from a funeral in Zaria at the time of the explosion.
On Monday, Mr. Buhari had issued a statement accusing President Jonathan of pushing Nigeria to the edge of a precipice. He blamed the president for a spate of impeachments of political office holders who oppose Mr. Jonathan. In his response, Mr. Jonathan told the former military ruler to focus on mending the internal rifts plaguing the opposition APC.
At least 25 were confirmed dead after a bomb detonated earlier near Alkali Road in Kaduna, the capital of Kaduna State. A security source told SaharaReporters that the first bomb blast was targeted at a popular Islamic cleric, Dahiru Bauchi, who was delivering a Ramadan lecture at Murtala Square to Muslims observing Ramadan Tafsir.
No group has claimed responsibility for the two high-profile attacks, but a security operative in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, said the explosions were likely the handiwork of the extremist Islamist group, Boko Haram.

Kefee's Husband, Teddy Writes Touching Tribute

Gospel Singer Kefee was finally laid laid to rest on Friday 11th July 2014 in her hometown, Okpara, in Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State.
Kefee and hubby Teddy
Her husband, Teddy who was reportedly inconsolable during her burial ceremony wrote a very touching tribute to her.
Below is what he wrote:

"You were a woman of principle, straightforward, strong willed and determined. You were the symbol of hope. When I look through your eyes little did I know that the end has come. Death is inevitable but no man desires death at the time it comes. I am consoled by the fact that you are now translated from this sinful environment to a better place where the lord has made for the righteous men of your kind. Farewell my desire. Rest in the bosom of the lord till we meet on the lord’s appointed time."

21-Year-Old Student Commits Suicide Over Heartbreak

The deceased, Effiong Otu

According to one of the family members, who gave her name as Ann, Effiong was found hanging in his room at Diamond Hill. She said the deceased, who was no longer himself following the breakup, went to their neighbour and collected a rope, which he further used in carrying out the sacrilegious act.
Ann said that neighbours, however, became suspicious immediately after Effiong entered his room with the rope as they wondered what he wanted to use it for.
She said Effiong’s mother, Grace Otu, works as a nurse at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, adding that Effiong’s father had died some years back.
“The 10th of July was the 10th anniversary of his father’s death in a car accident and after the anniversary and everyone had left the house including his mother, he went to a neighbour and borrowed a rope which he took to his room and hung himself,” Ann said.

"The neighbours became suspicious of what he was doing in his room with the rope and decided to rush there but found the door to the room locked and before they could force the door open he had died,” she added.
The source further revealed that before Effiong took his life, he called his friend, Adu on phone requesting him to tell his girl friend, Blessing who works with the UNICEM that "she should now be happy that he has killed himself for her".
“Before his friend could rush to the house, the door had already been forced open by neighbours and Effiong’s body was hanging from the ceiling of the house” Ann said.
She said the deceased, who was the only son of the family, was named after his late father as a source of succour for the family but “he has again left us by this thoughtless action”.

She also disclosed that on 6th of July, 2014, Effiong posted the following message on his Facebook timeline:
"It’s not about being engaged, married or in a relationship. It’s about being happy, safe, secured, relieved and feeling good. It’s about peaceful state of mind, it’s about sleeping at night without the fear of losing what you’ve got. It’s being yourself and not someone else, it’s about feeling loved, happy, respected, understood, cared for and appreciated.! Goodnight my beautiful people!!"
Efforts to reach the Cross River State Police Public Relations Officer, Hogan Bassey, proved abortive because his mobile phone was switched off.
Meanwhile, family members said Effiong’s corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of the General Hospital, Calabar.

Horrific pictures displaying dead bodies of some of the 25 women murdered in Baghdad brothel raid have emerged, showing gunmen in camouflage with weapons fitted with silencers.

The policemen, who rushed to the crime scene following a tip off, entered the building to find blood streaming down the stairs and over two dozens of dead bodies in a number of rooms lying in pools of blood. An inscription on the wall of one the rooms at the crime scene read: "This is the fate of prostitution".
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the murders, many believe that the killings were the made by Shiite militants, who detest prostitution.
The attack on Saturday late night has made the Sunni and Shiite districts of Baghdad to be protected. The entrance of the building was blocked to ensure proper investigation of the massacre.

Gunmen kill 25 women in Baghdad prostitution raid

Gunmen killed 25 women and wounded at least eight people Saturday when they stormed two buildings in a residential Baghdad compound reputedly used for prostitution, police and government sources said.

“Twenty-five women were killed and eight people wounded, among them four men, when gunmen stormed two buildings in a residential compound in Zayouna in east Baghdad,” an interior ministry official told AFP.

A senior police officer, who said the attackers used silenced weapons, gave the same death toll but reported 11 wounded.

“Unidentified gunmen stormed building number 43 in Zayouna, killing 10 women and wounding five. They also stormed building number 44, where they killed 15 women and wounded six men,” a police colonel said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

An AFP correspondent on the scene said police cordoned off the area while eyewitnesses also said several people were arrested in the aftermath of the killings.

“This is the fate of any prostitution,” read a inscription on the door of the one of the raided buildings.

Residents said the street’s sole access point was manned by police and soldiers.

It was not immediately clear who the killers were but similar raids killed 12 people in May 2013 and three women two months later in the same mainly Shiite neighbourhood of the Iraqi capital.

Shiite militias have become more active on the streets of Baghdad since Sunni militants led by jihadist fighters took over large swathes of eastern and northern Iraq a month ago.

Nigeria police uncover plot to bomb Abuja again

The Nigeria Police Force say it has “credible intelligence reports” indicating a plot to carry out attacks on the Abuja transport sector by insurgents believed to be the terrorist Boko Haram group.



“The attacks which are intended to cause panic amongst Abuja residents and visitors alike are planned to be perpetrated through suicide bombings, or through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in luggage, bags, cans, and other receptacles, ” Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, said in a statement on Saturday.

Mr. Mba, an assistant commissioner of police, said the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory and his colleagues in adjoining states to beef up security at major parks around Abuja and its environs.

The police urged the general public, “particularly those within and outside the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to be roundly vigilant and report any suspicious persons, objects, movements or activities to the Security Forces without delay”.

Motor parks operators were also strongly advised to discourage overnight parking of vehicles at motor parks, particularly by unknown persons while also urging park workers to reduce congestion at the parks “by disallowing the indiscriminate parking of private cars, tricycles and motorcycles at the precincts of motor parks”.

The Police High Command advised the “general public in other places outside the motor parks should also monitor their environments as the terrorists may likely shift attention having known that their plots have been uncovered” while also assuring citizens not to panic as “security forces are working round the clock to neutralize and effectively deal with the threat”.

The nation’s capital has been hit by insurgents in recent times with the most recent being the explosion at a Banex plaza shopping complex in the Wuse district of the city, which left at least 21 people dead and 52 others injured.

POLICE UNCOVER PLANS TO ATTACK ABUJA TRANSPORT SERVICE, IGP ORDERS INTENSIVE SURVEILLANCE

Credible intelligence reports at the disposal of the Nigeria Police indicate that terrorists have perfected plot to carry out attacks on the Abuja transport sector. The attacks which are intended to cause panic amongst Abuja residents and visitors alike are planned to be perpetrated through suicide bombings, or through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) concealed in luggage, bags, cans, and other receptacles. The Police High Command therefore, while ordering FCT Commissioner of Police in particular and other CPs in adjoining States to beef-up security at major parks around Abuja and its environs, enjoins the general public, particularly those within and outside the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to be roundly vigilant and report any suspicious persons, objects, movements or activities to the Security Forces without delay.

Meanwhile, the Police Authorities enjoin citizens not to panic as the Security Forces are working round the clock to neutralize and effectively deal with the threat.

As part of additional efforts at forestalling the attacks and strengthening security around the transport sector, the Police High Command has called on the management of Motor-parks to ensure that travelers and workers’ safety comes first. It charges them to constantly conduct regular and routine scanning of their environments while insisting on carrying out a thorough search on passengers and their bags as well as vehicles entering and leaving their parks.

It also advises that such searches must have the active participation of the passengers involved and warns that any item or luggage unaccompanied by any passenger must be rejected outright and should not be allowed into the vehicle.

Passengers are also enjoined to be on the lookout for any passenger, who might come in with luggage but will attempt to disembark without such luggage.

While operators of motor parks are strongly advised to discourage overnight parking of vehicles at motor parks, particularly by unknown persons, the Police authorities further advise motor park workers to reduce congestion at the parks by disallowing the indiscriminate parking of private cars, tricycles and motorcycles at the precincts of motor parks.

In addition the Police High Command advises that the general public in other places outside the motor parks should also monitor their environments as the terrorists may likely shift attention having known that their plots have been uncovered.

Meanwhile, the Police can be reached on the following hot lines: FCT Police Control Room – 07057337653, Force Intelligence Bureau Operations Room – 08139379245, 08075650624 and National Emergency Line -112.

More African Migrants Perish Crossing Mediterranean - UN

The United Nations refugee agency says the death toll of migrants trying to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean continues to rise. The UNHCR says 12 bodies have been recovered in the latest tragedy, which occurred when a boat overturned soon after departing from Libya.


The victims of this tragedy include a Syrian mother and her two small children, three Eritrean nationals and six other Africans of undetermined nationalities. The U.N. refugee agency said it was informed about the accident on Monday, although the boat capsized off the coast of Tripoli on Sunday.

It said the boat, which was meant for 200 passengers, was probably carrying many more people than it could hold.

UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards said search and rescue operations to find possible survivors or to recover the bodies of other victims were continuing. He said it was likely other people aboard the ship may have perished.

"UNHCR applauds the search and rescue operations being run by government authorities but asks that such operations are further strengthened, particularly in areas with high concentrations of boat crossing. We are also urging states worldwide to look at providing legal alternatives to dangerous sea journeys. These might include family reunification, speeded resettlement and humanitarian government admissions. Governments are additionally being encouraged to resist punitive or deterrent measures including detention for people seeking safety," he said.

The UNHCR reports more than 500 people have lost their lives this year while crossing the Mediterranean. This includes 217 people believed to have drowned off the Libyan coast and at least 288 others confirmed dead or missing from boat accidents in the waters off Italy, Turkey and Greece.

Italian authorities said 64,000 migrants have arrived on their shores since the start of the year. The Italian government has asked other European nations for help in coping with the influx.

Meanwhile, the U.N. refugee agency said it has registered nearly 37,000 asylum-seekers and refugees in the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Benghazi. It said Syrians made up the largest group, followed by Eritreans, Somalis and Iraqis.

The UNHCR said many asylum seekers lived in precarious conditions -- but that many would risk their lives on the perilous Mediterranean crossing in a desperate bid to find refuge from wars and persecution and, in some cases, poverty and unemployment.

Tears flow as Kefee is laid to rest

The late gospel singer, Kefee who died on Friday, June 13, 2014, after being in coma for 15 days, has been laid to rest today in Sapele, Delta.
Hundreds of family members, friends and colleagues stormed Okpara-Inland in Ethiope East Local Government, Delta State for the funeral rites.
The funeral rites, which began with a Candlelight/Service Of Songs last night at Oba Akezua Cultural Centre, Airport Road, Benin City, Edo State, peaked with a home-going service/interment at Akpevweoghene Educational Centre, Open Field, also in Okpara Inland.


A condolence team consisting of Kefee’s friends such as Sammie Okposo, Nikki Laoye, Annie Ibrahim, Gordons, Princess, Linda Etukudo and Chilee Aguanana, had visited Kefee’s family last week.
Okposo, who spoke on behalf of the team, commiserated with the family and told them of the impact their deceased daughter made on the entertainment industry in her very short, but eventful life.
“Kefee brought peace, happiness and love to the world. Even though, we are heartbroken over her death. We will be comforted by the fact that God knows best and we cannot question him,” he said.

I mistakenly impregnated my elder sister — Man, 25, tells court

A 25 year old man, Shamsu Isa, yesterday told a magistrate court in Kano State that he impregnanted his elder sister in error.


Isa spoke shortly after appearing before the court, following a report made by the Ward Head of the Takalmawa Quarters, to the police that the accused person was having sexual intercourse with his elder sister, contrary to the law.

The First Information Report by the police stated that a case of incest was reported to the police following the discovery that Isa’s elder sister, identified as Na’ima was carrying her younger brother’s baby.

“On July 4, 2014, the Ward Head of Takalmawa Quarters reported to the police that, Shamsu Isa was having sexual intercourse with his elder sister.

According to the charge, the accused person committed “incest contrary to section 390 of the Penal Code Law. Naima Isa, 27, is believed to have a weak mind is heavy.’’

The prosecutor, Corporal Ibrahim Abdulrazak applied for the matter to be adjourned to another date, to enable the police conclude investigations into the case.

An eight year old bride identified as Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by intercourse with her 40 year old husband, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Activists in the region are fighting for forced child marriage to be banned, and they have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family.

The issue of forced marriage of child brides is a socially accepted custom and is widespread in many rural areas in Yemen.

A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.

In particular, a prominent Islamic cleric, Abdulmajeed al-Zindani, issued a fatwa in support of the practice, declaring supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates, and ultimately leading a successful campaign against legislation that would prevent adult men from marrying children.

Legislators have been looking at ways to curb the practice and they have so far been unsuccessful.

Currently the law states that parents should decide when a daughter marries. Unfortunately, reports indicate more than a quarter of Yemen’s females marry before age 15.

HOUSEHELP AND BOYFRIEND ROB MASTER OF $100,000. FAKE SOLDIER ARRESTED

Operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja, Lagos have arrested a  female house help who allegedly connived with her boyfriend and two fake soldiers to rob her master of over 100,000 Dollars.


The 23 year-old house help, Adaeze Ijeoma, allegedly sneaked into her master’s bedroom  located in Maryland,  Lagos, last month, after he  traveled out of the country.  Unsure of where to keep the foreign currency, she reportedly took it to her boyfriend, one Onyebuchi Uche, only for him to flee with the money, leaving Adaeze in doubt.

On his part, Onyebuchi , who has been jobless for years,  rushed to Alade market, Ikeja where he changed some of the dollars to naira and thereafter, deposited the sum of N8 million in two banks. He thereafter, told operatives at SARS that he also bought  a car; ‘End of Discussion’ and a plot of land in an undisclosed area where he had started molding blocks for building.

Determined to get her own share of the loot from him, betrayed Adaeze was said to have confided with one of her relatives identified simply as Nnamdi to help retrieve the money from her estranged lover.

Nnamdi and two other persons clad in Military camouflage reportedly stormed Maryland last week where on spotting Onyebuchi, bundled him inside his new vehicle and took him to a hotel in Mende area of Lagos, where they reportedly tortured him and forced him to disclose where he kept the money. They reportedly managed to get the sum of N6.5 million from two separate banks where Onyebuchi kept the money, including the new car he bought.

However,  just when Adaeze was contemplating on what to do with her own share of the recovered loot, an eight man robbery gang reportedly stormed her master’s home, where an unspecified amount  including his phones and other valuables were carted away.

The robbery case was reported at SARS after which Adaeze and two other persons were arrested.  Although she denied having a hand in the recent robbery, she however, disclosed her role in the theft of 100,000 Dollars.

In this interview with Crime Guard, she said: “ I am from Akri village in  Ogbaru Local Government area of  Anambra State. I left the village in 2010, after my secondary school education  in search of greener pastures in Lagos, where I started working as a house-help for  Chief Uche and was paid the sum of  N10,000 monthly.  I lived in the same apartment with chief and to be honest to him, he has treated me as a member of the family.

“I met my boyfriend Onyebuchi after being lonely for a while in 2011. I was tempted to steal my boss’s money and gave it to my boyfriend to keep so that we can start our own life. I gave him because he promised he would marry me. I stole the money so that we can, at least, get a lease of life when married.  I believed he would use it wisely because he has always had plans for the future.

“But I began suspecting foul play after he stopped picking my calls . When I went to where he lives in Mende, I was told he usually came home late. Later, those who know us told me he started driving a car.  That was when I contacted my uncle, Nnamdi to help retrieve the money from him. On the day, he was to go with his two soldier friends, I waited at Mende for Onyebuchi and when I sighted him, I pointed him to them and left for home immediately. After he was tortured, he called me on the phone that he was sick and when I went to see him, he said some robbers stole the money from him and even battered him to stupor.

“I swear, I do not know anything about the other robbery operation in the house. The robbers came armed and forced me to take them round the house. They only got some money in the guest room and took my master’s Black berry phone, his gold wrist watch and other things. They also took my phone but left it at the backyard.  I did what I did out of love for my boyfriend, not knowing he would betray me. Now he has fled, leaving me to bear the consequences alone, without having a taste of the money, “ she stated in tears.

On his part, Nnamdi claimed he was once a military personnel but resigned on his return from a foreign mission where he got the sum of N2 million. Surprisingly, Nnamdi was discovered to be an in-law to Chief Uche.   “I am from Akaokwa village, in Ideato North Local Government area, Imo State and the complainant  is married  to  my father’s sister. I used to sleep in their house  any time I came to Lagos to sell  palm oil and at times, I spent  one month.

“When Adaeze told me about the money, I threatened I was going to tell her boss. But on second thought, I thought if I got the money, I could use it to enrich myself.  I then contacted  Chima, my friend who is now at large. It was Chima who contacted  a soldier who initially gave his name as Corporal Humphrey. It was later we discovered he was a dismissed soldier.  We lodged at Tropicana Hotel in Mende Maryland ,where we took  Onyebuchi  to. I was in full Army uniform while Ajaghe my other friend,  was wearing a camouflage  cap, pretending to be soldiers.

“We tied him to a ceiling fan and beat him in order to force him to tell us where he kept the money. We seized his car. And ordered him to transfer the N2.4 million  he said was in First Bank and N5.5 million in Fidelity bank to my account for easy withdrawal. We used ATM card to withdraw the money for one week  from one of the banks  while we withdrew the rest from separate branches of the other bank. At the end, I gave Onyebuchi’s car to Chima to keep  and N500,000 to Ajaghe , while I kept the rest, with the hope of giving some to Adaeze and keeping the rest”, he said, adding that he knew nothing about the robbery operation at Chief Uche’s apartment.

The Commander, SARS, Mr Abba Kyari, said the suspects would be charged to court while efforts were still on to arrested other fleeing members of the gang.

The military hierarchy, on Friday, told newsmen that it has arrested three suspected female terrorists who it says have been secretly recruiting ladies into the female wing of the Boko Haram sect.
The suspects, Hafsat Usman Bako, Zainab Idris and Aisha Abubakar, were said to have been intercepted while travelling to Madagali, Adamawa State from where they were to transit to the forest to reunite with their cohorts.
Investigations carried out by the military revealed that the suspects, led by Hafsat Bako, were on their way to recruit members into the female wing, as well as conduct espionage for the group.

This is said to have resulted in the discovery of an AK 47 rifle and 2 loaded magazines.
Before the arrest of the trio suspects, the women were hiring ladies especially widows and young girls by enticing them with male suitors who are mainly members of their terror group.
The military says it has continued to make good progress in the war against terror.
