Man allegedly kills friend over non payment of N50 bottled water in Lagos

The Lagos State Police arrested a man, 29 year old Ekanem Enodan for allegedly stabbing his friend  46 year old commercial motorcycle operator, Nicolas Goddonu, to death during an argument over paying for a N50 bottle of water at Oke-Ira area, Ogba, Lagos.




 According to reports, On June 8, Goddonu, a father of five visited his friend Enodan at his shop in the company of his younger brother. He allegedly went into the shop at about 10:50pm and took a bottle of water which cost N50 without paying for it. Enodan allegedly tried to stop Goddonu from leaving his shop with the water by hitting him on his head with a bottle. Goddonu immediately slumped to the ground.



 Enodan, thinking that Goddonu was pretending, walked over him, took back his bottled water and walked back into his shop.
 Goddonu's brother checked on him to make sure he was fine but raised the alarm when he realized his brother wasn't breathing and was promptly rushed to the Ifako General Hospital, but was confirmed dead on arrival.




 However, there were several versions of what really killed Goddonu, while some of them alleged that the Enodan stabbed him to death, others said he only pushed him, which caused him to hit his head on the hard floor.



An eyewitness Ufom Ekanem said:

‘They played a lot’. “The deceased and the suspects were friends. That was not the first time he would collect something from the shop and run away. “But he usually paid later. At times, the shop owner would be chasing the motorcyclist and at other times he would forcefully drag whatever Goddunu collected from his shop. “On that fateful day, the shop owner only pushed the okadaman in the chest, while attempting to collect the bottled water from him. He fell in the process and became unconscious.”

Another eyewitness, Biodun Odufare, said:

“The deceased was from Egun, while the suspect is from Cross River State. At about 11p.m., an argument which everybody concluded was their normal play, began. “But we suspected that the okadaman was drunk. As he was leaving the shop with the bottled water, the shop owner threw an empty bottle of soft drink at him.

“The bottle hit the kiosk and shattered, with one of its broken parts hitting Nicolas in the chest. He fell and was confiremd dead inhospital.” “He fell down and became unconscious. Later, we heard that he died at the hospital.”

The Spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Dolapo Badmus, confirmed the incident saying:

“On June 9, at about 1a.m., one Mitchonou Suru, 16, reported at Pen-Cinema Division that at about 10:50p.m. the previous day, one Nicolas Goddonu, 46, was hit with a bottle by one Ekanem Enodan, 29, of Baba Dada Estate, Opic, Ogun State, during a quarrel between them.

“The victim was rushed to Ifako general hospital where he later died. Suspect was arrested and detained while corpse was deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for autopsy.”

'Buhari has not allocated any oil Bloc' - Kachikwu says

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, yesterday disclosed that President Buhari has not allocated any oil bloc since assuming office. ‎Kachikwu said this while speaking at the Federal government town hall meeting held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.

“Since we came into office, the government has not allocated any oil bloc. The president has said that he will need to correct the mess created by the past administrations before we begin to think of giving out such advantages. The president has emphasized to us, the ministers that there should be no unjustifiable favour and any action we take we must be able to defend it. When the time for the oil bloc allocation comes, it will follow very clear due process,’’ he said.

Kachikwu added that he was one of those who believed that the South-South people should be allocated some oil blocs because it would be part of “giving back to the chicken that laid the eggs.’’

Federal Government planning to use seized properties as offices

According to news report, the Federal Government is planning to use some properties seized from looters as offices in a bid to reduce the high rent they pay for office buildings by government agencies. Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, disclosed this yesterday June 10th at the opening of a meeting with members of the National Steering Committee of the Efficiency Unit.
The Federal Government since May 29, 2015 have seized over 350 buildings through the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission, ICPC, and the Eonomic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

“The average annual expenditure on rent for the three year period 2012 to 2014 was N3.55bn. The issuance of price guidelines and initiatives for reducing expenditure on rent on office and residential buildings will be the primary focus in the coming months. And to achieve that, we are already looking at using properties that were forfeited from recoveries and moving some of our agencies to occupy those properties rather than paying rent.”

Nigerian Army confirms the retirement of some high ranking officers accused of looting

In a statement issued by the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Nigerian army has confirmed the retirement of some officers which include; Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. The statement reads,



The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that quite a number of senior officers of the Nigerian Army were retired from service yesterday.



Those retired were mainly some Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. Their retirement was based on Service exigencies. It should be recalled that not too long ago some officers were investigated for being partisan during the 2015 General Elections.



Similarly, the investigation by the Presidential Committee investigating Defence Contracts revealed a lot. Some officers have already been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).



The military must remain apolitical and professional at all times. We must applaud and support this laudable and bold initiative by the government.

Bloody clashes between two rival cults in Calabar

No fewer than three people have died
following bloody clashes between two rival
cults, identified as Maphite and Vikings.
The groups were reportedly fighting over
the control of ticket issuance to tricycle
operators in Calabar, Cross River State.
PUNCH Metro learnt on Thursday that
trouble started at about 1pm on
Wednesday when a key figure in the
Vikings, Emmanuel Actor, was trailed and
murdered by the rival Maphite group on
Palm Street in the Calabar South area.
It was learnt that Actor, who allegedly
controlled the issuance of tickets to
commercial tricycle operators along Nelson
Mandela Street, went to an area controlled
by the rival group on Egerton Street and
stabbed a key opponent in an attempt to
expand his territory.

The Maphite group was said to have
immediately regrouped and trailed Actor to
Palm Street where he was brought out
from his tricycle and hacked to death.
The group reportedly started shooting
sporadically along major business routes in
Calabar South, which forced traders to
shut down business activities.
It was gathered that another Vikings
member was killed on Etta-Agbor Road,
while the clash, which continued on
Thursday, also claimed the life of another
unidentified cultist on Richard Henshaw
Street by Edibe-Edibe Road.

An eyewitness, Mr. Okereke Mong, said the cultists on Wednesday terrorised Calabar-

South for more than four hours without

interference from any security agencies.

He said,

"They started the fight on Egerton
Street. I learnt that Emmanuel Actor, who
was the immediate past leader of Vikings
group attempted to take over the issuance
of tickets to tricycle operators on Egerton
Street. In the process of trying to assert
control, he stabbed one of the Maphite
members with a broken bottle.
“Hours later, the group trailed him to Palm
Street and intercepted his tricycle. They
brought him out and shot him. They also
used axes to break open his skull. He bled
to death. They waited till he breathed his
last before leaving the place. The incident
lasted for over one hour and there was no
police intervention.

“The police arrived after the incident. The

same group proceeded to Etta-Agbor to kill

another Vikings member.”

However, the Special Adviser to the

Governor on Department of Public

Transport, Mr. Gabriel Okulaja, said the

agencies involved in issuance of tickets to

tricycle riders did not have anything to do

with cultism.

While denying knowledge of the existence

of groups issuing tickets to commercial

tricycle operators, Okulaja pointed out that

touts had constituted themselves as

collection agents in Calabar-South without

remitting any funds to the approved

agents.

When contacted, the Police Public

Relations Officer for the state, Mr. John

Eluu, confirmed the incident, adding that

one of the suspects had been arrested.

He explained that the mutilated corpse of

Actor had been deposited in a mortuary

while efforts were on to arrest other cult

members.

New militant group, Ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta surfaces, demands allocation of 60% oil blocs to Niger Deltans

A new militant group, the Ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta have surfaced, with a demand that the Federal government allocate 60% of the nation's oil blocs to indigenes of the Niger Delta region.


 In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Brig. Sibiri Taiowoh and made available to newsmen yesterday June 8th, the group said failure to meet their demands within 2 weeks will see continuous attack of oil installations in the Niger Delta region.


The militants amongst other things are demanding for the completion of the Federal Maritime University which was established by former President Goodluck Jonathan as well as the contract to secure oil pipelines in the region

“We want to be the ones to be safe guarding oil pipeline in our area so as to create more jobs for our people. We would resist any attempt to give surveillance contracts of pipeline in our backyard to foreigners. We want the pipeline jobs to be given to our indigenous people. We also want 60 per cent of the oil blocs to be allocated to the Niger Deltans just as the Federal Government has also allocated 80 per cent to those who are not from the oil producing area and just as 50 per cent of the resource was used to develop the non-oil area when we were producing cocoa and groundnut as main economic resources, the same 50 percent should be use to develop the Niger Delta region because we are the ones suffering the brunt of oil pollution and degradation in the region. We are behind the recent pipeline bombing in the Niger Delta region and I can assure you we will not stop until the EPZ project and the Maritime University are totally completed and start operations" the statement read
