Police Apprehends Woman Who Absconded With Three-day-old Baby in Ibadan
July 27, 2022

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested a woman who absconded with a three-day-old baby in Ibadan, the state capital.

The suspect, 23-year-old Adepoju, who lives in Lagos, had absconded with a three-day-old baby girl from her mother last week, after tricking the mother of being in dire need of accommodation.

The mother of the baby, Monsurat Lateef, lives in the Itamerin area, Ogbere, Ona Ara Local Government Area in Ibadan.

According to a statement by the command’s spokesperson, SP Adewale Osifeso, 36-year-old Lateef delivered a female child on Saturday, July 16, 2022, at Yahora Faith Mission, Itamerin, Ogbere, Ibadan.

“On Tuesday, 19/07/2022, she proceeded to Abaemu General Hospital, Ona-Ora to initiate immunisation proceedings for her daughter from where she met the suspect who approached her as a friendly patient who also sought medical intervention.

“Unknowing to Monsurat, the suspect had just suffered a stillbirth and had been referred to the same health facility for scan.

“They got chatting and the suspect indicated interest in moving down to Ibadan from Lagos and was in dire need of accommodation.

“Monsurat Lateef ‘f’ ’36yrs’, driven by empathy decided to oblige the total stranger by assisting her with the house search.

“In furtherance to the above, the complainant decided to invite her (the suspect) over to spend the night because at the time, the house searching had encroached into late evening.

“In what seemed a premeditated action around 1300HRS, the suspect, Itunu Adepoju who had now totally gained the confidence and trust of her host, pleaded to use a nearby point of sales terminal with the three-day-old baby carefully tucked on her back.The money she intended to collect, according to her, was sent by her fiance for the purpose of completing the rent process.

“The complainant, Monsurat Lateef, obliged the suspect before she later realised she had been tricked and that the suspect had absconded with her child,” Osifeso said.

He added that the matter would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.

Meanwhile, Osifeso has enjoined residents of the state to remain cooperative and unrelenting with providing timely and credible information, capable of nipping crime in the bud at all times.

How we killed my wife’s friend, sold her head for N70,000 – Ogun man confesses

A couple, 43-year-old Kehinde Oladimeji and his 35-year-old wife, Adejumoke Raji, who were arrested for being in possession of human parts by the police in Leme area of Abeaokuta, the Ogun state capital has confessed how the two of them killed their victim.

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that the police arrested the couple last Saturday, February 12, for being in possession of fresh human parts.

Speaking with newsmen after being paraded on Monday at the Ogun State Police Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, the husband disclosed that his wife had singlehandedly killed her friend, who had paid her a visit.

He said the woman killed the friend, butchered her and dismembered her body parts, which the police later discovered in a bucket.

Oladimeji disclosed that the head of the woman was sold to someone in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital at the rate of N70,000.

“There was a day my wife invited her friend, a lady to our house for a visit. The first time she came was on a Tuesday, she came that particular day and went back home.

“But the second day she came, it was a Thursday. That day, my wife cooked noodles and eggs for the lady, which she ate. Later, the lady went into the bathroom to shower.

“But when it was getting dark that day, I inquired from my wife when her friend would go home, but my wife said she was weak and would need to lie down to regain her strength. I sat in the backyard, but when I returned to the room, I realised my wife had killed her friend and dismembered her body.

“When I asked her why she did it, she told me that the lady had offended her a long time ago. The person who bought the head came from Ibadan. His name is Oluomo,” the husband disclosed.

He explained further that his wife had overheard her on the phone when a friend from Ibadan called him to request a human head.

Oladimeji said, “I have a friend in Ibadan, who is popularly known as Omo Baale. He told me he needed a human head, but I told him I didn’t have such a connection or anybody who can help facilitate it. My wife heard the discussion and asked me how much the man would pay for the human head. I told him he was ready to pay N70,000. I never knew my wife had made up her mind.

“As you can see, I’m not a strong person. When the incident happened, I had wanted to kill myself.”

How we filmed Abba Kyari offering $61,400 cash for release of 25kg of co***ne – NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has narrated how it filmed the moment suspended Head of the Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, was negotiating a drug deal for the release of 25kg of co***ne and offered $61,400 cash to NDLEA officer.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday.

According to Babafemi, Kyari belonged to a drug cartel that operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.

He said Kyari contacted an officer of the Agency in January 2022 and tried to seal a deal.

Babafemi said, “Let me give a synopsis of what transpired. The saga started on Friday, January 21, 2022, when DCP Kyari initiated a call to one of the NDLEA officers in Abuja at 2:12 pm. When the officer returned the call two minutes later, Kyari informed him he was coming to see him, to discuss an operational matter after the Juma’at service.

“He (Kyari) appeared at the agreed venue of the meeting with the officer and went straight to the crux of the matter. This was it: His team had intercepted and arrested some traffickers that came into the country from Ethiopia with, according to him, 25kg of co***ne.

“He proposed a drug deal whereby he and his team are to take 15kg of the co***ne and leave 10kg for the prosecution of the suspects arrested with the illicit drug in Enugu. In the meantime, the purloined co***ne will be replaced with a dummy worth 15kg. He asked the NDLEA officer to persuade men of the FCT Command, to play along as well.

“By 11: 05 am on Monday, January 24, after the Agency gave the officer the green light to play along, he and Kyari began a WhatsApp call for the rest of the day. The officer conveyed “their” willingness to play the game.

“At this point, Kyari disclosed that the 15kg (already taken out) was shared between the informants that provided information for the seizure and he and his men of the IRT of the Nigerian Police. According to him, the informants were given 7kg while his team took 8kg which was already sold.

“He (Kyari) then offered to pay the NDLEA team (that is the officer and the FCT commander) by selling, on their behalf, half of the remaining 10kg, thereby further reducing the original co***ne for the prosecution to just 5kg. At N7m per kilogram, the proceed from the 5kg would amount to N35m, at the exchange rate of N570 per dollar being the black market rate for the day, January 24, 2022. In effect, he would be delivering $61, 400 to the NDLEA team.

“He (Kyari) put pressure on our officer to wrap up the arrangement with the commander of the FCT Command to take custody of the drug and suspects from his men who were on ground in Abuja. At the time, he was speaking from Lagos, where he allegedly travelled for private business.

“The next day January 25, Kyari offered to send his younger brother to deliver the payment while his men deliver the suspects, but our officer turned down the suggestion, insisting he would rather deal with him in person and was therefore prepared to wait for him to return from Lagos.

“And by 5: 23 pm, Kyari was in Abuja and met with the officer at the same rendezvous where they had the first meeting. In their discussion, he disclosed how his team received the information from a double-crosser who betrayed the traffickers to him, showing a sordid connection between law enforcement agents and the drug underworld; he narrated how acting on the tip-off, his team departed Abuja to Enugu and arrested the traffickers, removed part of the consignment on his instruction and replaced same with dummies.

“He (Kyari) also indicated how to identify the remnant of the original co***ne that would be delivered to NDLEA, five original packages marked with red dots. The reason for this was to avoid the dummies being subjected to test. He forwarded a picture of the marked original co***ne package. According to the plan, once the 5kg co***ne has been tested in the presence of the suspects and confirmed positive, there would be no need to test the remaining ones, being dummies.

“He (Kyari) also brought with him the money from the sale of the 5kg share of the NDLEA team, a total of $61, 400. Our officer, however, preferred to take the money inside his car. Well, the car was wired with sound and video recorders. And the moment was documented, part of which I will play for you at the end of this briefing.

“DCP Abba Kyari was invited by NDLEA for debriefing on Thursday February 10 through two main channels because there is a whole lot of questions begging for answers. The invitation was legitimate and formal according to our protocol. But up till the close of office hours on Friday, February 11, he refused to respond. Up till this moment, he hasn’t responded.

“Having failed to honour the official invitation, NDLEA has no option but to declare DCP Abba Kyari of the Nigerian Police WANTED, right from this very moment.”
