Robbery Suspect Confesses To How His Father Warned, But He Didn't Listen

  has confessed that he was warned by his father.

Chukwu-Emeka Egbemude, 22 and 200 level drop-out of North American University, Cotonu, Benin Republic who is among the four suspects arrested by the operatives of Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos state police command for tricking expensive phone sellers to desolate locations was arrested recently in company of  the three other accomplices, who were fished out in the shooting of a police officer, who attempted to arrest them in one of their botched robbery operations.

Wilfred Ehis, a chemical engineering graduate of University of Benin, Benin City, Edo state, had in his confessional statement to police stated that his task as the leader of the group was to source for expensive phone sellers on online platforms.

  

According to NAIJ.com, in a statement with RRS, he posed as a lawyer, ordered for expensive phones and accessories before waylaying the delivery man and robbing him of the consignment at a designated location.

Egbemude confessed to the police that all he did since dropping out of school was to pick fraud items for online fraudsters as well as put Ehis through on how to carry out online fraud.

 

 

 He added that he had been lodging in hotels with Ehis around LASU-Igando area because his father barred him and his elder brother from using his residence as centre for online fraud.

 “I dropped out of school not because I wasn’t brilliant but for my inability to pay my school fees. And, since I returned to Nigeria, I started online fraud and picking fraud items for online fraudsters in and out of Nigeria.

“The first picking job I did was for myself in 2016. Later, I did another job for a ‘Yahoo Boy’ which fetched me $400. I have been into online fraud before I entered school in 2011.

“I have done a lot of transaction for boys including those that involved me travelling out of the country. Everybody in the neighbourhood (Afolabi Bus Stop, LASU-Isheri Road) knows the kind of job that I do.

“I also help ‘Yahoo Boys’ to pick money, expensive wristwatches and rings. I go to bank to pick up the money for them and I get my 10% or 15 percent commission on every transaction. I have helped more than 50 boys doing that kind of transaction.

 

“My father got to know that I was into online fraud because he sees me carrying laptops and heard me whenever I make calls to my victims and trying to sound like an American…. He called me and told me point blank that I should never in my life use his residence for such business. Since 2015, I have been moving with Ehis, lodging from one hotel to the other in LASU-Igando Area,” he added.

According to the report, Nurudeen, alias Onyabo, who is one of the suspects, has the two guns used by the gang and he sneaks into Lagos through the creeks of Ogun whenever they have operations.

 The suspect and the gang leader, Wilfred Ehis and two others, Bright Eloho, 24, and Olanrewaju Kamilu, 33, have been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, Lagos for further investigations.

He added that he had been lodging in hotels with Ehis around LASU-Igando area because his father barred him and his elder brother from using his residence as centre for online fraud. Read more: https://www.naij.com/1097462-my-father-warned-i-didnt-listen-robbery-suspect.html

2. Bisola

Bisola, who was a contestant in the Project Fame edition Iyanya won, won the last and final head of house challenge in the Big Brother Naija Reality TV show.

Abisola, who is part of the radio station WFM 91.7 (Nigeria’s 1st Radio station for WOMEN and their families), has revealed before now that she was a spoilt child till age 8, when her then well-off family hit some major hurdles.

She had to move to rural Nigeria where she lived with cousins selling make up and she got another shot at the high life when she came fifth in a reality singing competition.

Abisola, who is very talented, still plies her trade in the entertainment industry, revealing her comic side and using her voice to charm her listeners on her radio show on Nigeria’s first Women’s radio station – WFM 91.7.

Bisola has also delved into the Nollywood industry, featuring in movies like “The Life Of A Nigerian Couple” and “Forever With Us”.



3. Efe

He's the most Nigerians favourite and has been tipped to win the prize money and the SUV.  Efe, who is a graduate of Economics, won the hearts of Nigerians with his street flows and based on logistics slang. He is also the only male among the top 5 housemates, and also the only housemate to win the head of house challenge twice.

The Delta State born rapper, who grew up in Jos, has a known habit of picking his nose, has won the Payporte Arena Game the highest number of times.

Michael Efe Ejeba, who moved to Lagos for greener pastures after his youth service, loves cooking and also has a crush on Marvis.



4. Marvis

The Tomboy of the house, has a signature hairstyle and also eats garri more than any housemate on the show. Marvis, who is from Rivers State, is a graduate of Mass Communication and got the degree from Madonna University, Okija. She has the royal blood flowing in her, and is the 11th child out of 21 children.

Marvis who has been single for quite some time, revealed that she ended her last relationship because she couldn't keep up with the long distance romance. The Onne born entertainer, also claims she has never gotten into physical fights, as her mouth fights all her battles.



5. Debbie Rise

The 27-year-old cunny-cunny crooner is a Computer Science  graduate, with a major in Graphics and Web Application Development from the Federal University of Technology, Yola.

Debbie (Melanin Goddess) emerged the first runner- up of the third season of Nigerian Idols in 2013, and has been working her way to the top since then.

Read How Dog Saved Guests From Suicide Bomber At A Wedding Party – Nigeria Police

The spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force in Borno State, Victor Isuku,, has narrated how a dog died saving dozens of people at a wedding party in Maiduguri after it attacked a suicide bomber.

He told newsmen in Maiduguri that the dog stopped the teenage suicide bomber from detonating her explosives in the crowd.

According to Isuku, the dog belonged to a resident of the neighbourhood where the wedding took place.
He said the suicide bomber was about making her way into the gathering at the wedding ceremony before the dog pounced on her.
The girl, whose original mission appeared to have been thwarted, detonated her explosive while battling to wriggle herself from the canine grip of the dog
.
The gallant dog paid the supreme sacrifice as it died alongside the suicide bomber.
Isuku specifically disclosed the incident happened at about 7.30 a.m. in Belbelo community of Jere Local Government Area in Borno State.

He said: “Information just received indicate that today at about 0733hours (7.33am), a female suicide bomber with IED strapped to her body, attempted to infiltrate a wedding ceremony gathering in Belbelo community of Jere LGA.
“She was, however, prevented by a watch dog, so she had to detonate the IED to kill herself and the dog.

“The dog was owned by resident in the locality. ”
Although the police did not state if the dog was trained in bomb detection, it is not common in Nigeria for dogs owned by civilians to be so trained.

Isuku noted that normalcy has since been restored in the area and “no further casualty was recorded apart from the dog.”
The incident occurred few hours after three suicide bombers blew themselves up at two different locations not far away from the spot where the wedding took place.

Abeg make una comot with all these rubbish. Big Brother is in love with TBOSS. I said so, sorry I wrote so. if TBOSS wins over Bisola or Efe, then THEM DON DO OJORO." he wrote.
