At least six policemen were killed in separate robbery incidents in different parts of Lagos over the weekend, 3m360 learnt.
The policemen, it was learnt, were killed during robbery operations.
Also, a mother of four, Lateefah Oyinloye, was killed during one of such incidents.
It was learnt that the robberies occurred in Ajah, Aguda and Oyingbo areas of the state between Saturday and Sunday.
Our correspondent, who visited Oyingbo on Monday, learnt that a robbery occurred on Redemption Way.
It was learnt that a police corporal, identified only as Moroof, was killed alongside Oyinloye.
A resident of Redemption Way, Alhaja Olorun Orerun, told PUNCH Metro that the robbers, numbering about eight, stormed her home around 1:30am on Saturday and robbed her family.
She said, “Around 1:30am, some armed robbers jumped over my fence and entered the house. They robbed us all and riddled the entire house with bullets.
“Two of the robbers stood guard outside the compound while six stayed inside and ransacked the house. One of the robbers wore a mask while the others didn’t.
“They locked me and my husband inside the toilet and opened fire on the door. Luckily, no one in my house was killed.”
A resident, who craved anonymity, said while the robbers were trying to escape, they sighted a policeman in a patrol vehicle and opened fire on him.
He said Oyinloye, who was in a taxi at the time, was hit by a bullet.
 He said, “Policemen from Denton Station usually come to our street to raid a joint in the area. A team of policemen had gone on the usual raid but the police corporal (Moroof) remained in the vehicle.
“Unluckily for him, the robbers saw him and immediately opened fire. Oyinloye was in a taxi at the time and was on her way home when she was hit by a bullet.”
Our correspondent observed bullet holes on parked vehicles on the street as well as the gate of Orerun’s house.
Oyinloye’s daughter, Bashirat, who wept as she spoke, said her mother sold drinks and usually closed late.
She said, “My mum sells spirits at Obalende and usually closes late at night. She usually comes home in a taxi. She was killed in the taxi.
“The matter has been reported to Denton Police Station but her corpse has not been released to us. We need to bury her quickly because we are Muslims.”
A family member, who craved anonymity, however lamented that the policemen demanded N34,000 before the corpse would be released.
“The policemen asked for N34,000 for embalmment and other expenses but we are negotiating with them to collect N20,000,” she said.
When contacted, telephone of the spokesperson for the state police command, Ngozi Braide, did not go through.
A Divisional Police Officer, who craved anonymity, however confirmed the death of five policemen.
He said, “Four policemen were killed at Ajah while one was killed at Oyingbo. I am not aware of that of Aguda.
“We had a meeting with the Commissioner of Police today (Monday) and security will be beefed up.”
The senior officer said the policemen killed in Ajah were ambushed in a patrol van by the robbers.
He said, “The area commander received a distress call and ordered his men to the scene. On their way there, the robbers came out from the bush and opened fire on them.
The four of them in the vehicle were killed. Co-incidentally, a traffic policeman and a civilian were within the area at that time. They were also killed.

MAN WITH THE WORLD’S LARGEST SCROTUM ON THE FENCE ABOUT HAVING CORRECTIVE SURGERY…. (PHOTOS)



A special condition that triggered the scrotum of Wesley Warren Jr. to grow to a massive 100 pounds made him feel like “a monster” and the Las Vegas man embark on a campaign to raise $1 million for corrective surgery.
More photos after the cut…..
However, given the possibility of having the surgery – even at no cost – the 47 year old, remains reluctant to undergo surgery, the news media reported.In any case, Warren’s new found fame could have gone to his head and seems to be enjoying his celebrity status. “I will make a decision when I’M ready,” said Warren.He was also concerned that physicians selected might kill him during surgery.
According to doctors, Warren suffers from lymphedema scrotal, which causes the scrotum to swell with aqueous liquid. A doctor at the University of California at Irvine, has been in contact with Warren, and is also offering his services for free as long as Nevada Medicaid pays for the room.
Without the growth, Warren would weigh about 300 pounds, he said. Its large size makes urination difficult and impossible for a normal sex life.He attributes his condition to a painful episode in 2008 when he turned in bed and crushing the testicles. “It was like a sharp pain through my body,” he said. “When it stopped, it was like a huge truck and trailer went off the top of me.”
Warren fears of complications during surgery are not unfounded, reportedly because doctors say there is potential for serious bleeding.
However, Warren scoffs at the idea that he is more interested in fame to cure his condition: “Who would want to live like this” he said. “I do not want to die during the operation either

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.

SOMETHING NEW FROM DESTINY'S CHILD



The trio were badass when they were together as Destiny's Child, that's talking about Beyonce Knowles (now Mrs. Carter), Michelle Williams & Kelly Rowland. Since they broke up to go solo, each individual has gone on to have relative success, with Beyonce doing it massively big.

A decade now since they all went their ways, they are uniting once again to come out with a single titled 'Nuclear' that was co-written by Michelle Williams and produced by Pharrell. The single is part of a body of work that has been tagged the reunion album titled ''Love Songs''.

According to reports, the full album itself is set to be out by Tuesday, January 29, 2012. 

Many of their fans are eagerly waiting for the date to come, so they can see if the trio still have what it takes. 

That there is a reunion album is against the backdrop of statements made by members of the former very successful group, that there would never be a reunion. So maybe, the trio have now changed their minds. January 29 is only 2 weeks away.

Maxwell to Perform in Nigeria, Two Days After Valentine’s, February 16th, 2013


Maxwell to Perform in Nigeria Summers Pretty Wings Industry News: Maxwell to Perform in Nigeria, Two Days After Valentines, February 16th, 2013 Yet another interesting news. Maxwell recently took to twitter to announce he will perform in Nigeria, two days after Valentine’s. His vocals are so sexy and I am sure his Nigerian fans will appreciate his presence in the country. I have been calling this invasion for a while now, i.e. the increase in American artists performing in Nigeria given the current state of the US economy and the digital revolution taking place in its music industry as a whole.
For all the terrible reputation/surveys/rankings and bad country branding Nigeria enjoys, in the final analysis, if promoters can pay to get USA artists, in a recession, to show up, then that’s what it is. I have no issue with it. I just INSIST Nigerian and other similarly situated African artists should have that reciprocity in the USA music market. I also insist on their turf, in their homeland, the celebrity artists are treated with respect.
However, we gotta earn that respect too. Does your music move the ladies and the soul like Maxwell’s does? Exactly my point. We’ve got work to do in and out of the country. Africa is not Asia. The influx of American celebrity artists who command hefty fees from promoters will ultimately affect the kind of music Nigerians want, and how they view the value of the Nigerian artists.
History does repeat itself. Also, with the continued cookie cutter crap emanating from the industry, it is only a matter of time when we completely fatigue fans with the same “ova” “hi” “tinkolo  gaga” sound. Don’t you dare pick on #Poko #Tonto Dikeh people. She’s not even a musician and she fits right into the current music industry structure and sound. That’s the music industry’s problem not hers. She is just smart  to leverage on such an opportunity for even more reach with her brand’s message,  while the rest of industry gets “hi” off “overgreased and over fat” American music diet.
See Maxwell’s tweet below. The “Summers” hashtag he refers to is in reference to his upcoming album.

Celebrities Behaving Badly: Davido Calls Celebrity Blogger Shei Funmi “Faggot,”


Davido Kisses Fan on Stage Celebrities Behaving Badly: Davido Calls Celebrity Blogger Shei Funmi Faggot, Takes a Line from Rapper Azealia Banks Have you all read about the drama between rapper Azealia Banks who is signed with Interscope Records and blogger Perez Hilton? The rapper was irritated when Gay Blogger (sounds weird identifying people by their sexuality. As in heterosexual blogger???) In any event, Perez Hilton, popular blogger who is also openly gay voiced his opinion about Banks’ behavior towards her fellow music industry colleague. Banks, upset at his comments, basically told him where to go and called him a “faggot.” Many attacked her on twitter  and so did the LBGT organization, a gay rights group. Banks stood her ground. She said it was hypocritical that she could say and use the “Nigga” word and every one dances to and affirms it, yet there is an uproar when she says the “Faggot” word. She said using the “F” word does not make her homophobic and explained its variety of meanings not associated with sexuality, per se.
Davido takes a page from Banks and attacks Shei Funmi with the “F” word. The altercation is over an alleged inaccurate reporting by Shei Funmi about Davido. You get to read the tweets shortly. Shei Funmi also received heat from Wizkid who had issues with a reporting by Shei Funmi regarding his mother.
Bloggers, as a rule, it is usually a bad idea to get family involved when reporting about stars. However, you can maybe get away with reporting on siblings, and other relatives but when it comes to mothers, that is a no go area. You better get your facts right because grown men have been known to lose it when you push that universal sensitive button. In this instance, in response to Shei Funmi’s statements, Wizkid calls Shei Funmi “Bitch.” Is that acceptable? “Nigga” and the many forms it can be said, “Faggot,” and “Bitch.” Aren’t we dealing with derogatory words against blacks, gays and women?
AML artists, a good rule of thumb is to avoid the outburst of anger on twitter and social media sites, especially against three key groups: fans, bloggers and media in general. Beyond giving more weight to a situation than you need to, it detracts from what you are trying to do and where your focus should be placed, your music. I know it’s easier said than done, but try.
If stories are libelous/defamatory, I have shared how to deal with such situations, on AML, in a more powerful and effective way. Shei Funmi gets even American celebrities all worked up. It won’t be any different just because you happen to be a Nigerian celebrity. Finally, there are few persons you just know, they don’t need to tell you, that should you strike at them, irrespective of who began the fight,  you should be prepared to get bloodied up. Unless you are ready to get bloodied up in the press, in public, in the courtroom or wherever, fall back and find different more effective methods of resolving conflicts.
Now can we all just kiss and makeup?
NOTE: By the way, if you are wondering who Shei Funmi is, click to read my exclusive interview with him on Ladybrille Magazine where he discusses, for the first time, being raped by his uncle at ten (10) years old. He has also been very open and transparent about his struggle with bi-polar and depression.

30 Nigerians killed in fresh oil pipeline fire

No fewer than 30 Nigerians, suspected to be oil thieves died in a pipeline fire at Arepo village, in Ogun state, early on Saturday, the police said.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in-charge of the Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism, Mr. Friday Ibadin, confirmed the death toll today in Lagos.
Ibadin said an explosion was heard at about 2 a.m. and shortly after, a team of policemen led by the sector commander, Lagos, DSP Onaghise Osayande, arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area.

another oil pipeline tragedy: firemen battle oil fire in Lagos
He said the fire was caused by suspected vandals, who allegedly ferried across to the creeks to siphon petroleum products from a ruptured NNPC pipeline.
“Our preliminary investigation reveals that the fire was sparked off by vandals, who were arguing over who was eligible to fetch from the ruptured pipeline.
“It was in the heat of the argument that one of them accidentally released a bullet that led to several explosions.
“However, operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline Vandalism Unit, Force Headquarters Annex, Lagos, who were on patrol rushed to the scene to avert further disaster.
“It was in the process that they arrested a medical doctor and one of the survivors on their way to the hospital in a jeep.
“The doctor was alleged to be smuggling one of the survivors, who happens to be a vandal, to his private clinic for treatment.
`In the course of interrogation, we discovered that the survivor was one of those, who allegedly participated in the killing of three NNPC officials in 2012 at same area,’’ Ibadin said.
The ACP said fire fighters were still trying to contain the fire. He gave an assurance that the police would provide adequate security in the area and that security agencies were on the trail of other “vandal’’ survivors, who fled the scene of the incident.
He said one of the suspects arrested told the police that many of his mates were killed in the explosion, while others injured might still be alive and “ dying in the creeks’’.
Ibadin narrated the suspect’s account of the incident and how his mother reportedly called in a doctor to treat his wounds.
“He claimed he was in his house, when one Suleiman, his friend, called him that there was a job at Arepo creeks.
“He asked him to look for a canoe and come with as many gallons of jerry-cans. Shortly after he arrived, he saw argument among the vandals and some began to fight before hearing a gunshot. “He claimed the next thing was an explosion. He claimed he was lucky that he wasn’t close to the ruptured pipeline.
“It was in the heat of the fire that he managed to run to his boat, where his mother was waiting. He said his mother called a doctor, who was about taking him to the hospital before they were arrested by the police.
On the number of persons involved in the incident, the suspect claimed that there were more than 50 men and women, the ASP said.
The police officer also told NAN that the doctor had tried to exonerate himself from the crime.
He claimed he acted “in accordance with his oath to protect life,’’ after receiving a distress call from “a customer’’ for an emergency, the ACP said.
Meanwhile, scarcity of fuel looms in Lagos State and Ogun as NNPC has since stopped the flow of petroleum products through the Arepo pipeline, pending the repair of the ruptured pipeline.

Warders do not impregnate female inmates – Rivers Prisons Controller










The Controller of the Rivers State Command of the Nigerian Prisons, Mr. Babalola Ogundana, has said that warders are not responsible for impregnating female inmates in the state.
He was reacting to allegations that some of the inmates were at different stages of pregnancy.
The Prisons boss said contrary to speculations, the female prisoners who ware in the family way got pregnant before they were jailed. He added that male warders were not allowed to visit the female section of the prison without being accompanied by a female warder.
“The allegation is not true because all of them (female inmates) were pregnant before they got to the prison.
“When female inmates arrive at the prison, we subject them to test to confirm if they are pregnant or not.
“Those that are pregnant; we cannot reject them because they are pregnant. Once they are brought by a valid warrant (of incarceration), we have to accept them.
“So it is not possible because at no time will a male warder be with a female prisoner without a female warder.”
Ogundana also denied that the ladies were sometimes allowed to go out of the prison for sex. He said noting of such happens as the command conduct regular headcount of inmates.
“It is not possible because the warder knows that if caught in the act, the penalty is severe and so no warder will dare do it; this is a mere allegation.
“If it is for medical purpose, it has to be certified by a medical doctor. In Port Harcourt prison, we have two doctors and there are a lot of nurses.”
He further explained that babies delivered in the prison were sent to their mothers’ relatives after 18 months of being nursed by their mothers.
In cases where there is no one to accept a child, the baby is handed over to orphanage homes.
