What We Saw In Sambisa Forest – Parents Of The Abducted School Girls

One of the lucky abducted students in Chibok who was later rescued and being handed over by her parents at school premises on Monday.

Parents of the abducted school girls who were threatened by the Boko Haram sect for engaging in the Sambisa search recounted their ordeals/experiences of what they saw in the dreaded Sambisa Forest while in search of their abducted daughters.

Narrating their experiences to the state governor, Kashim Shettima when he visited the school, some agrrived parents spoke;

Mallam Amos Chiroma who was among those who combed the Sambisa forest said:
 “We saw a lot of strange things in the Sambisa forest but we will not be able to disclose all for security reasons. Borno and indeed this country require prayers from all and sundry.
 

"While we were in the forest with over 200 volunteers who only had cutlasses, bows, arrows
and sticks, we came across different make-shift camps suspected to be owned by terrorists. It is however unfortunate that we had to turn back when we met one good Samaritan in the forest who advised us that it was in our own interest to go back because the area we were approaching in
the forest was a dead zone dominated by terrorists."

“If soldiers had accompanied us to the forest, we were optimistic that our missing children would have been rescued, or we would be satisfied if we can just see the dead bodies of our daughters”

Tenants Lynch Landlord’s Son, Dump Corpse On Road

 According to Punch:

Some tenants and members of the Odua People’s Congress have lynched a 41-year-old man in the Ajelogo area of Mile 12, Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the deceased, Tolulope Olajuwape, was beaten to death by residents of Fasanya Street near his father’s house after being wrongly accused of being a kidnapper.

The elder sister of the deceased, Mrs. Oluwakemi Adesanya, told PUNCH Metro that her brother had been away from Nigeria for many years.

She said on the fateful day, the deceased had gone to the area to visit their mother, who he did not know was dead.

An unidentified woman was said to have raised a false alarm, after which Olajuwape was beaten to death. She said; 

“My brother has been away from Nigeria for about 24 years. He spent five years in Sierra Leone while he has spent the last 19 years in Guinea Bissau. However, four years ago, he came briefly to Nigeria and we discussed how we were going to renovate our late father’s house on Fasanya Street and let it out.

“We begged him to stay in Nigeria, but he refused. After he returned to Guinea Bissau, we lost touch because he lost his phone and my elder brother, who had his phone number, had misplaced his own phone as well. So, when our mother died over a year ago, Tolulope did not even know.

“On April 9, 2014, I received a phone call from one of my elder brothers in Kaduna, who told me that he heard that Tolulope was in Nigeria and was being beaten up near our father’s house. It was quite late in the evening and I was very far away, so I could not do anything that night.”

Big Fear In Kirikiri As Prison Fence Collapses

According to DailyPost;

Jail break was recently averted at the Maximum Security Prison, Kirikiri, Lagos when the prison fence collapsed after a heavy downpour.

DailyPost exclusively gathered that the fence fell inward after the last Sunday’s heavy rainfall, a development which led to palpable fear within the prison vicinity.
A reliable insider hinted our correspondent that it all started on Sunday morning during an early morning downpour that was accompanied by whirlwind.

“Whenever the cloud is murky, we’ll order all the prisoners inside. So on Sunday when the cloud was gathering,we ordered all of them in,” the insider said.

“When the rain started, we heard a loud sound, at first, we thought it was an attack but when we got there, we discovered the fence had fallen.
The source further revealed that, the warders in charge of the Maximum Prison quickly alerted some security men who arrived and cordoned the fence.
He said security men from the Nigeria Police, army and prison arm guards were on ground to stop any prisoner who may want to escape.
“They were ordered to mend the fence with zinc pending when the fence would be raised,” the source added.

When DailyPost visited the Prison Barracks on Monday, the presence of heavily armed security men was noticed around the broken fence.

How Armed Robbers Raided 8 Streets, Destroyed Cars & Raped Women In Mushin, Lagos

The fear of Mushin is the beginning of understanding. For many years, Mushin had been amongst the terror zones in Lagos but this time, the story seems to be more pathetic as residents along 8 major streets in Mushin were sleepless and terrorized on Easter Monday.

Armed robbers numbering 60 attacked residents in Coker Lane, New Balogun, Euba, Ayonuga, Tiamiyu, Haruna, Ereko and Oyedele Street. The armed robbers who were said to be with strong ammunitions made their announcement with a warning shots around 12am before starting their house to house robbery until about 7am in the morning.

During the robbery incident which lasted for over seven hours, many properties were stolen, so many properties destroyed and many ladies and women were raped too. Little wonder, even the mosque on Coker Lane was not spared as the worshippers who slept in the mosque after a vigil, were also robbed by the hoodlums.

APC Begs Boko Haram To Release Abducted School Girls

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has made a passionate appeal to the abductors of the female students of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, asking them to release the students immediately without conditions in the spirit of the Easter season.

In a statement by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at the dedication of the N150 million Catholic Church in his hometown of Oro, Kwara State yesterday, the party said the grievances of the abductors should have nothing to do with innocent school girls.

It therefore urged the kidnappers to free the girls who remain in their custody and cease forthwith all acts of violence against innocent citizens.

“Violence has never resolved any issue. Dialogue is always the preferred and civilised way to go in resolving any conflict, no matter how difficult.

“We are, therefore, calling on those who have been perpetrating unbridled violence to stop their despicable acts and renounce violence,” APC said.

“These are our sons and men come to sleep with them. It is through the Edu Marshals Programme that we discovered them. We used to know about female harlots, now we have male harlots. Unfortunately they are young boys. There is much government can do, but there is more we can do as parent."

Abductors Of Borno South Senatorial Aspirant Demand N100m Ransom

 

The family members of renowned senatorial aspirant,  Stephen Madu Marama who was kidnapped on his way to Maiduguri from his village Marama have been contacted by the abductors who demanded a Hundred Million Naira (N1,000,000,000) ransom. *Now this is big money! Haba!!*

The contact which was made three days ago keeps Marama's family in a dilemma over the huge ransom as they have been trying to get the government involved but all attempts have failed.
"We have been trying to get help but it is not coming; I spoke with them personally and begged, but they wouldn’t listen."

One of the children of the victim (Bukar Madu) who spoke to the media reporters said:
 “Even if we get some buyers for all our properties, we cannot raise such huge sum for a ransom. 

“I have pleaded with them but they don’t want to consider our request; I feel as if I have already lost my father; all I am praying now is for divine intervention.”

“They told me that when next they call, they expect us to have the money and they would tell us where to take the money to or what to do with the money. I have never seen such an amount and I don’t think the whole family put together can raise such a huge amount.”
