Babalawo Arrested And Arraigned For N2.4 Million Fraud (Photo)
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 arraigned one Bala Tangalu before Justice A. B. Mohammed of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Jabi, Abuja on a 2-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N2.5million.
Tangalu, a self-styled native doctor also known as Babalawo, was arrested following a petition by one Dozie Ugonna, who alleged that he was scammed of over N2.5million by the accused and his cohorts.
According to the petitioner, the money was meant for the purchase of materials to neutralize some harmful charms purportedly contained in a carton filled with United States dollars.
The offence is contrary to Section 8 (a) and punishable under Section 8 (C) and 1 (3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act No. 14, 2006.
Particulars of Count two read:
“Bala Tangalu, Ataye (still at large), Nnamdi (still at large) Peace (still at large) and Linda (still at large), in the year 2016 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court with intent to defraud obtained the total sum of N2,540.000 (Two Million, Five Hundred and Forty Thousand Naira Only) from one Dozie Ugonna under the pretence that you are a native doctor a.k.a Babalawo and the monies were for purchase of materials to neutralize some harmful charms contained in a carton filled with United State Dollars, which pretence you knew to be false”.
The accused person pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Upon his plea, counsel to EFCC, Elizabeth Alabi, asked the court to fix a date for trial and remand the accused in prison custody pending trial.
She urged the court to consider the weight of the offence, which according to her carries a minimum of seven year jail term.
However, counsel to the accused, Yusuf Abdullahi, told the court he had a pending bail application before the court. He added that the accused had been granted administrative bail by the EFCC which he had not breached and urged the court to adopt same bail condition.
Justice Mohammed granted bail to the accused in the sum of N2million with two sureties in like sum. The sureties must be a civil servant or a community leader.
The case has been adjourned to March 20, 2017 for trial.
Why I Cut My Wife Into Pieces - Lagos Driver (Photos)
A Lagos driver, Shakiru Bello, who was arrested for allegedly killing his wife, Sherifat, said he cut her remains into pieces to escape the wrath of her father, Akeem Atanda, and to avoid being prosecuted for her death.
Shakiru told NEWSCASTER that after hiding her remains in different uncompleted buildings in Lagos, he fled to Ibadan, Oyo State.
A team from the Ijora Badia Police Division, led by the Operations Officer, ASP Talabi Segun, recovered Sherifat’s head and neck in Morocco, Yaba, while other parts of her body were recovered in another uncompleted building on Moshalashi Street, Somolu.
PUNCH gathered that Sherifat and Shakiru, who were married for over nine years, were separated in July 2016.
The victim, who lived on Daramola Street in the Ijora Badia area, had, however, last Monday reportedly demanded money for the upkeep of their three children.
Shakiru was said to have invited her to a location where they allegedly met. She never returned home.
The victim’s father, Akeem, on Tuesday reported a case of missing person to the police, leading to a search for the suspect.
A source said Akeem told policemen that an unidentified number called him that his daughter fell into a lagoon.
The source said, “The police tracked the number, and discovered that the caller was in Ibadan. He (Shakiru) was arrested and brought down to Lagos around 1am on Saturday.”
The suspect was said to have led the police to the two uncompleted buildings where the remains of the late Sherifat were recovered.
Shakiru said, “After we separated, I secretly reconciled with her and we started meeting. On the average, I gave her N15,000 in a week. On that Monday, she called me that she needed money and we agreed to meet.
“I gave her N10,000 that evening. She later begged me to accompany her to Lagos Island where her niece was admitted in a hospital. We took a motorcycle and were on the Third Mainland Bridge when a truck hit us from behind.
“I took her to my house on Olaleye Street, Somolu, around 12am. I went out to get her balm and some drugs. Unfortunately, she died. I was afraid of her father, who didn’t want to see us together. Also, I couldn’t report to the police, so I decided to put her body in a sack and dispose of it. When it was not going into the sack, I cut off her arms, head, legs and other parts.”
A police source, however, told our correspondent that the private parts of the victim were missing, saying the suspect might not be acting alone.
Our correspondent visited Akorede Street, Ijora Badia, where scores of sympathisers besieged the victim’s parents’ house.
Sherifat’s younger sister, Shakirat Kareem, said her sister was separated from the husband sometime in July 2016.
She said, “He told her that he was given a medicine which both of them must rub on their bodies before making love. My sister tricked him and secretly told another relative, who informed my father. My father ordered us to go and pack her luggage. That was how they separated.
“But four weeks ago, he called her on the telephone and said he wanted to see her, but my sister refused. I grabbed the phone from her and told him never to call her again.”
The victim’s father, Akeem, said he was informed that his daughter was missing lastTuesday, adding that when he called the suspect, he denied knowing her whereabouts.
He said, “He told us he was at a traditional healing home in Ibadan where he was receiving treatment for an accident. When we got there, the owner of the home denied seeing him.
“We went to his mother’s house and she said she was coming out to see us. We later noticed she had sneaked out through the back door and escaped.
“The police in Lagos later asked us to come down; that they had arrested him. The Area Commander, Area B, told me that my daughter had been killed and her corpse cut into pieces.
“The police should arrest all those involved in the killing. I want justice for her. It is unfortunate that my daughter has three children for him.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said investigations were ongoing.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has directed that the suspect be prosecuted in a law court at the end of investigations,” she added.
My Wife Masturbates, I Caught My Daughter Masturbating 3 Times – Man Tells Court
A 44-year-old businessman, Ekpolador Ebi, told an FCT High Court, Kubwa, that he would no longer tolerate his wife’s masturbation.
Ebi made this known when he testified in his divorce petition against his wife, Gloria Onajero, in Abuja on Wednesday.
He urged the court to end the marriage, which had produced two children because of his wife’s unfaithful and intolerable character.
The petitioner questioned the paternity of his children when he found out his wife’s extra-marital affair with one Richard.
He also noted that his wife’s “ugly character” has had a negative impact on their children.
He said, “She masturbates on a regular basis. I have warned her severally but she wouldn’t stop. Now it has affected my first daughter.
“I caught her on three occasions; I spoke to the mother about it and she promised that it would be resolved but it did not.
“Now, I noticed since we separated, that the children have developed confidence issues in school.
“My first daughter has also developed anger issues; she slams the door at you when you try to scold her. All these never used to be.”
Ebi also told the court that he ran away from his home because his wife and her mother frustrated all his good intentions.
According to him, his wife also beats the children with so much force and without mercy and when he tried to caution her, her mother supports her.
The petitioner urged the court to, aside dissolving the marriage, help him recover his property from his wife.
He said, “My wife came into this marriage with nothing, but when she left, she went away with everything I had.
“She took all the original documents of my property, including our marriage certificate.
“I want everything back, including my first daughters’ international passport which has a five-year-visa on it.
“I also want this court to order her to stop calling me at odd hours. She calls me around 1 a.m, 2 a.m or 3 a.m for no good reason.”
Counsel to the respondent, Mr Festus Ukpe, applied to the court to grant them two dates of adjournment to enable him and his client prepare their defence.
The presiding judge, Justice Bello Kawu, adjourned the matter till March 21 and March 30.

Seun Egbegbe To Remain In Prison As Police Officer Fails To Swear Affidavit
Filmmaker Olajide Oluwaseun Kareem, more popularly known as Seun Egbegbe, will remain in prison custody, as his application for bail was put on hold due to the failure of the police to file a counter affidavit.
The prosecutor, Innocent Anyigor, informed the court that the police were unable to file a counter affidavit to hear Mr. Egbegbe's plea because the police officer who would swear to the affidavit was ill. "We have been served an affidavit but we are unable to file a counter affidavit because the police officer who is supposed to depose to the counter affidavit is sick. Because of this development, we will leave the matter in discretion of the court to decide on what to do," the prosecutor informed the court.
In response, the presiding judge, Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo, ordered the police to present any officer who would depose to the counter affidavit and subsequently adjourned the hearing of the bail application to Friday, February 24, 2017.
The judge said, "Since the matter has been left in discretion of the court, the court hereby gives the police till Thursday to file a counter affidavit." Mr. Egbegbe was arraigned alongside Oyekan Ayomide in a 39-count charge for allegedly defrauding some Bureau De Change (BDC) operators of N40.647 million, $29,800 and £4,815 at different areas in Lagos State between 2016 and February 2, 2017. The offense contravenes the provisions of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006.

Falz - I Was Treated As A Criminal In Kenyan Airport Because I'm Nigerian
Soldier rapper, Falz says he was treated as a criminal at a Kenyan airport.
In a new interview with Sound City‘s Moet Abebe, Falz said he recently went holidaying in Kenya with a group of friends, and at the airport, was treated with the worst discrimination he had ever experienced.
“We were about getting into the airport..in Kenya. The [immigration] sent us to go to the side [along] with Nigerian people [and] they just kept on saying ‘cyber crime! internet fraud!,” Falz revealed.
“It was disgraceful. It was extremely shameful. Obviously, it is discrimination. Because I’m Nigerian, you automatically think I am a cyber criminal?”
