Full Story of The Policeman who killed himself, his colleague & the girl they were fighting over


Remember the story about the police officer who shot himself, his senior colleague and a recharge card seller named Chidinma over claims of infidelity? (read story here). Well new facts have emerged about the story and a graphic pic from the horrific murder-suicide scene has also emerged.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened at Karu town near CBN quarters in Abuja on Thursday April 30th. The police corporal who had been dating the recharge card seller, went to see her on that fateful day and met her in company of another police officer who he immediately accused of sleeping with his girlfriend. The accusation was said to have made his senior colleague angry who then ordered him to leave the place or he will be dealt with. This was said to have enraged the police corporal who threatened to himself, the girl and the senior officer so that none of them will have the girl. True to his threat, he corked his gun and shot the girl first, then the police officer and then shot himself in the head. Graphic pic from the scene after the cut...

Boko Haram Onslaught on Bama: Two Soldiers, 22 policemen, 14 Prison Warders, 13 Terrorists Killed In Military Barracks Fight With PHOTOS


By SaharaReporters, New York
Military sources have told SaharaReporters that Tuesday’s unprecedented onslaught on Bama by suspected Boko Haram terrorists resulted in the death of two soldiers and 13 of the invaders during the fight at the military barracks.
At the police barracks, a woman and two children were burnt to death, our sources said.
They also confirmed that 22 policemen were shot dead by the terrorists at the Divisional Police Station, and 14 prison officials killed at Bama Prison Station.
“The attack was repelled by soldiers on sentry a little distance from the Barrack’s Fence,” one of them said, appearing to be downplaying the severity of the incident at the military facility.
SaharaReporters had earlier been told by sources that security agencies were still counting the numbers of the dead, and that several police were killed in the attack in which the militants released as many as 150 prisoners in Bama Prison.  All the warders on duty were reported to have died.
SaharaReporters has also learned that the following structures were attacked and burnt:
·      The Police Area Command and Divisional Police Station;
·      Bama Prison Station;
·      Magistrate Court;
·      Primary Health Centre, and
·      Police/MOPOL Barracks
The following items were recovered: 3 AK 47 Rifles; 8 RPG launchers; 3 RPG Bombs, and eight magazines
Earlier today, security sources told SaharaReporters that today’s brazen attack on military, prison and police formations in Bama is perhaps the biggest undertaken by Boko Haram militants.
In an attack on Bama on April 26, suspected Boko Haram terrorists killed a Divisional Police Officer and scores of police officers.
Three days later, on April 29, a Boko Haram/JTF duel resulted in the death of 17 persons.  About 200 homes were reportedly burnt to the ground.

Police Kill Pastor, Nab Gang Members For Robbery


The Police in Cross River State on Saturday killed a pastor in Akamkpa Local Government of the state, identified as John on suspicion of being an armed robber.
police_logo_67Three other suspected gang members were also arrested after a fierce gun duel that lasted into the night.
The pastor and his gang were alleged to have raided some buildings in the residential quarters of lecturers of the Cross River College of Education on Saturday, dispossessing their victims of money and valuables.
PUNCH Metro learnt on Sunday that after the robbery operation, the gang converged on a drinking spot, not more than three kilometres from the scene of the robbery, to share their loot.
In the process of sharing their loot, according to a commercial motorcyclist who witnessed the scene, Mr. Dennis Egom, someone informed the police who immediately swooped on them and a gun battle ensued.
“When the police came there was an exchange of gun fire and one of them was killed, one escaped while three were arrested,” Egom said.
The pastor, Egom said, was well known in the area and was thought to be a real man of God until the incident.
“He got born again some years ago and was carrying Bible to preach to people and soon became a pastor in the church (name withheld) in 2011. But unknown to some of us who knew him as well as his followers and other residents, John was an armed robber whose real identity was revealed the day he was killed,” he said.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Umoh, confirmed the incident.
He said, “The police in Akamkpa had a gun battle with some robbers who robbed some academic doctors teaching at the College of Education in Akamkpa and one of them died as a result of bullet wounds, while three others who were arrested are now in our custody.”
Umoh said efforts were being intensified to apprehend the other members of the gang that escape, adding “we are making effort to arrest the one on the run and to bring him to justice.”

POLICE RAIDS RITUALISTS DEN IN ASABA DELTA STATE, UNCOVERS CORPSES OF UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN


Police detectives in Asaba, the Delta State capital have uncovered a hideout/operational base of suspected ritualists with scores of unidentified corpses of women.

The police command spokesman, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Famous Ajieh, said the detectives acted on a tip-off to swoop on the suspects in their operational base in Okpanam village where four of them were arrested. The Police, he said, found scores of mutilated and decomposed bodies of women.
It was learnt that the replacement of commercial motor cycles with tricycles popularly known as “Keke” had led to the influx of suspected ritualists who use the new means of transportation to charm unsuspecting passengers and take them to the hideouts where they are allegedly killed with vital parts of their bodies removed.
Leadership Sunday gathered that activities of the ritualists increased during the Yuletide in Asaba and its environs when they caught a pregnant woman on her way to church service along Nnebisi Road and allegedly hypnotised her.
They allegedly took her to their hideout where she met other persons being held by the suspects.
But through divine intervention, she was said to have been pushed away when it was her turn to face the ritual exercise.
Police sources however, confirmed that four persons were arrested including their kingpin identified as Simeon (surname withheld), who upon interrogation confessed to the gang’s atrocities while three others are on the run.
Ritual activities allegedly thrive in Ibusa, Ogwashi-Uku, Ubulu-Uku and Okpanam.
While warning passengers to be wary of the operators of the “Keke,” Ajieh said their activities had been placed under serious surveillance.

Kidnap Suspects Shot During Police Rescue Operation


On Friday, three suspected kidnappers were killed and three others arrested by the police during the rescue operation of the treasurer of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Delta State University, Abraka chapter, Mr. Martins Denedo.
Denedo was abducted in the early hours of January 1, 2012, on his way home from New Year’s eve church service. Some gunmen had reportedly laid siege to Denedo’s residence in the university community and attacked him when he got out of his car to open his gate. He was immediately driven away in his car, a Nissan Pathfinder Sports Utility Vehicle with registration number BKW 18 AA.
Spokesman for the Delta State Police Command Mr. Famous Ajai, while confirming the rescue, said, "Teams of policemen on Friday morning rescued Denedo from the kidnappers’ hideout at Elumo in Abraka, close to Ughelli.
"Three of the kidnappers were killed during the exchange of gunfire with the police while three others were arrested. About two others are still on the run. We are on them and I’m positive that more arrests would be made soonest."
A few weeks before, the mother of Nigeria’s Finance Minster was kidnapped at the gate of her husband’s palace in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State.
Kidnappers, numbering about 10, were said to have pushed the 82-year-old Prof. Kanene Okonjo into a waiting vehicle when she came down to offer drinks to workers at the gate. Although there have been dismissals of a ransom paid to secure Okonjo’s release as with other high profile cases, reports of kidnapping have continually emanated from the oil-rich state almost on a weekly basis

Unidentified Man Falls From Sky


Police believe he was from Africa, probably from Angola, but they don't know his identity.
photo
The mystery began in September when residents of a suburban street in the Mortlake neighborhood of West London woke up on a quiet Sunday morning to find the crumpled body of a black man on the sidewalk of Portman Avenue, near a convenience store, an upscale lingerie shop and a storefront offering Chinese medical cures.
Detectives believed at first the man was a murder victim and cordoned off the area. Within a day, however, police concluded the man – probably already dead – had fallen to the ground when a jet passing overhead lowered its landing gear as it neared the runway at nearby Heathrow Airport.
The apparent stowaway had no identification papers – just some currency from Angola, leading police to surmise that he was from that African nation, especially as inquiries showed that a plane from Angola was beginning its descent into Heathrow at about that time.
The macabre explanation made perfect sense to residents, who are familiar not only with the roar of the jets descending, but are also able to see the planes lower their landing gears as they pass overhead, said Catherine Lambert, who lives a few doors down from the spot where the man landed.
"You could see him, his body was contorted," she said. "It was a beautiful blue day, really sunny, but we had to keep the children inside. I didn't want the children to see, and to have to explain to them and put fear into them every time a plane goes over."
A post mortem conducted two days after the body landed listed the cause of death as "multiple injuries."
In the days afterward, some neighbors put flowers on the spot where the stowaway was found, and a small group of Angolans who live in the London area came to place more flowers and to pray. Lambert, 41, said there is lingering sadness, since the man has not been identified and there has been no way to tell his family he is gone.
"I felt, what was he running away from? What made him think he could he could? And how will his family ever know? He's a lost soul now; his father and mother are probably waiting for him to make contact," she said.
 
A London police spokesman, who wasn't authorized to speak on the record because of force policy, said Sunday that police are appealing to the public for help identifying the man based on a composite image of his face and a photo of a tattoo on his left arm. The tattoo showed the letters "Z" and "G" inked on his upper arm, with a horizontal line through the "Z".
Police also said attempts to identify the man with the help of Angolan authorities had been unsuccessful. They stressed there is only "circumstantial" evidence linking the stowaway to that country.
In a statement, police said the man is believed to be an African of slight build between the ages of 20 and 30. He was wearing jeans, white sneakers and a gray sweatshirt when he was found on Sept. 9, police said.
Although firm figures are not available, in recent years there has been a rise in the number of stowaways trying to get to Western Europe by hiding in the undercarriages of passenger planes.

Lindsay Lohan Stealing Jewelry Again


Lindsay Lohan was questioned by police after she brought several men to an all-night party, and the owners reported to police that those men stole valuable jewlry. She then left town to avoid looking suspicious. Police say she is not a suspect, which seems like the same old great police work we’ve become accustomed to.
Tomorrow’s headline: “Police arrest Lindsay Lohan for pawning stolen jewelry.”
Thursday’s headline: “Lindsay faces 3 years in state prison.”
Friday’s headline: “Judge orders Lindsay to serve 2 hours of community service for theft.”
Monday’s headline: “Lohan fails to show up for community service, judge says ‘Close enough.

Gunmen ‘burn churches, border posts’ in Borno


photo
Suspected members of the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram set fire to churches and border posts in northeastern Nigeria on Sunday, residents said, but it was not immediately known if there were casualties.
Around 50 gunmen in cars and on motorcycles carried out the attacks on three churches and border posts with neighbouring Cameroon, opening fire on police and chanting Allahu Akbar, (God is Greatest), residents said.
Among the security posts burned were offices for immigration, customs and the secret police and a quarantine building in the city of Gamboru Ngala, about 140 kilometres (80 miles) from the Boko Haram stronghold in Maiduguri.
“The gunmen believed to be Boko Haram were around 50 in number and came in cars and on motorcyles around 8:30 am and attacked the security offices at the border posts, burning them,” resident Modugana Ibrahim told AFP.
“They opened fire on the security personnel but it is hard to say if anybody was hurt or killed,” Ibrahim said.
Another resident, Hamidu Ahmad, said the gunmen went into town “chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and burnt down the divisional police station and three churches”.
Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency in northern and central Nigeria is believed to have left some 3,000 people dead since 2009, including killings by the security forces.
