Babatunde Ige, 26, is in police custody for allegedly stealing money from a church. The suspect was arraigned on Tuesday before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court on a one-count charge of stealing N14,610 from the offering box of Church of Assumption, Falomo, in Ikoyi.
According to the charge sheet, the suspect was alleged to have been nabbed video evidence from a CCTV camera monitored by a guard in the church.
Police statements claimed Ige confessed to stealing the money from the church’s offering box. “This is my second time of stealing money from the church’s offering box,” he allegedly wrote in the statement. “The first was last year when I stole N5,000 successfully and I steal only N1,000 denominations with a curved tiny iron and scissors.
I would remain inside the church after closing hours pretending to be praying, and after I notice that the place is empty, I would move closer to where the church offerings boxes are kept and remove the highest denominations. I started to worship in the church last year to steal and not to worship God after I realised that the high and mighty go there to worship and donate generously.”
However, in court, Ige pleaded not guilty. The presiding magistrate W. B. Balogun, admitted him to bail in the sum of N23,000 with one surety who must show evidence of tax payment to the Lagos State government.
The accused has been remanded in Ikoyi Prison when nobody came to bail him before the court closed for the day.

B*R*E*A*K*I*N*G N*E*W*S: SSS re-arrest Kabiru Sokoto
Kabiru Sokoto's escape just a day after his arrest led to national embarrassment and to the firing of the country's top police official.
Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati told The Associated Press on Friday that members of the nation's secret police arrested Sokoto in Taraba state, which borders Cameroon. Abati said he had no other details about the arrest, and referred questions to the State Security Service.
A spokeswoman for the secret police agency declined to immediately comment. However, another security official who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to journalists, said officers arrested Sokoto as he hid behind a clothesline at a home in the state.
Sokoto will be flown back to Abuja, Nigeria's capital, on an air force flight, the official said.
Police named Sokoto, an alleged member of the radical sect known as Boko Haram, as the prime suspect for the Dec. 25 bombing of St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, a city just outside of Abuja.
However, Sokoto escaped from police custody a day after his arrest, an embarrassment for Nigeria's ill-equipped federal police. President Goodluck Jonathan later fired the nation's top police official a few months before his mandated retirement.
The bombing struck just after 8 a.m. as worshippers began to leave the sanctuary after a morning service. A car bomb detonated near the church's front steps, cutting down those leaving.

Boko Haram accept Dialogue - names 4 negotiators
The extremist Islamic sect, Boko Haram may be considering the invitation to dialogue with the federal government as it named some Northern leaders to negotiate with the government on its behalf.
Although, the veracity of the video is being investigated by security agents, as it came on a day that multiple blasts rocked Kaduna with the armed forces as target.
Those named in the video on the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, are : Sheik Abubakar Gero, Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno, Alh Ali Bukar Ibrahim, the former governor of Yobe State.
The fourth name listed was not clear in the video to be identified.
However, Vanguard findings revealed that Boko Haram leaders have disowned the list of negotiators and that the said video did not originate from its organisation.
The tape which NTA claimed was delivered by an unidentified source featured two figures, fully masked in black. Only the voice of one was heard, while the other was silent.
“We here confirmed and accept the reported initiative of the President for a dialogue as a welcome development”, the speaker who did not identify himself said.
According to him, the group trusts the named leaders and said “the decision taken by these people can actually change the whole situation”.

Niger police arrest 3 suspects over sale of 2-week-old baby
An 18-year old girl, Miss Blessing John, was on Friday, arrested by the Police in Minna, Niger state capital, for selling her two weeks old baby girl to a 50-year-old woman, Mrs. Chikodili Jude for the sum of N20,000 to feed and clothe herself.
The sale of the baby to the second suspect, who is also a widow, took place on Friday January 20, few hours after the former was delivered of the baby at the General Hospital, Minna by medical personnel.
Sunday Tribune learnt that no sooner than Blessing, who claimed to be an indigene of Kwale area of Delta state, was delivered of the yet unnamed baby girl, that she allegedly expressed the desire to do away with the child in view if the fact that she could no longer locate one Emmanuel Sunday of Mechanic bye-pass, Minna who impregnated her, after he ran away in an attempt not to claim the baby.
“Sunday and I met when I was working at Kwetere Gwari mechanic village as an attendant in a restaurant. He approached me to be his girlfriend and I accepted his proposal.
He later impregnated me after making love to me. When I told him that I was pregnant for him, he picked a quarrel with me over the pregnancy and thereafter, I did not see him again until I put to bed at the General Hospital, Minna on January 18 this year,” Blessing said in an interview with Sunday Tribune.
She added: “I gave out my baby to Mrs. Chikodili James to hold her for me and she in return gave me N20,000 for feeding and clothing because I did not have any money at hand to feed and take care of myself. I told her that whenever I am able to put the amount she gave me together, I would pay her back and take my baby to my state, and she agreed.”
When she was asked whether there was any written agreement between them to that effect, she answered in the affirmative, stating that the second suspect immediately brought out a document for her so that they could both append their signatures on the memorandum of agreement.
Blessing, who informed Sunday Tribune that she had been living in Minna since 2009, noted that the second suspect allegedly brought one paper for her to sign.
“I read the paper and I understood everything that was written there. I signed and said that if I had the money she gave me, I would pay her and collect my baby from her later.
“I did not finish my secondary school education as I stopped at Senior Secondary School III when I was supposed to sit for my SSCE Ordinary Level and that of the National Examinations Council but the school authorities said I had to pay some money as examinations fees which I did not have,” she stated.
It was further gathered that the sale of the baby was allegedly facilitated by one Mrs. Martha Obialor, a 65- year-old woman resident at 1010 area of Kwetere Gwari community of the state capital, who was also being detained by the police in connection with the case, while the memorandum of agreement was drafted at the law firm of “Freedom Chambers” at SW 264, Yoruba road, Minna metropolitan area by one Mike Ekemezie Esq.
The memorandum of agreement, a copy of which is in the possession of the Sunday Tribune, read thus: “This agreement is made this 20th day of January between Blessing John of Suleja, Niger state of Nigeria (hereinafter referred to as DISCLAIMER, which expression shall, where the context so admits, include her heirs and successor-in title) on the first hand and Mrs. Chikodili Jude of Minna, Niger state of Nigeria, (hereinafter referred to as CLAIMANT which expression shall where the context so admits include her heirs and successor-in – title) on the second hand.”
Accordingly, the legal practitioner stated among other issues that the disclaimer had a female child at the General Hospital, Minna and decided to do away with the child and that the claimant agreed to take the child and also give the disclaimer a token of N20,000 to enable her (Blessing) to travel back to her station, adding that both parties now desire that their oral agreement be put in writing to be legally binding and enforceable to avoid any controversy in future.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State, Mr. Richard A. Oguche, confirmed the incident, stating that the first suspect, Miss Blessing John transferred the ownership of the two-week-old baby girl to the second suspect, Mrs. Chikodili Jude, in return for N20,000.

A nigerian nabbed trafficking hard drugs worth N5 million in tomato cans
He also believed he could deceive God and his pastor, when he decided to sleep in the church some days before embarking on travel. He even begged the man of God to pray for his successful business trip to Malaysia.
The pastor, who was not aware of the nature of the business he was involved in actually prayed for him, but all the efforts came to naught, when some eagle-eyed operatives at the airport burst the bubble. The suspect was alleged to have industrially packed hard drug worth N5 million in two big tins of tomato paste, to be trafficked to Malaysia but he was fished out during the outward screening of an Egypt Air flight.

Muslim leaders wants security for Boko-haram leaders
ACF Chairman Aliko M. Mohammed stated this yesterday while speaking to newsmen at the forums’ Conference Hall in Kaduna.
He urged the federal and state governments to demonstrate fairness in dealing with issues of insecurity and infringement of the laws.
“We enjoin leaders and members of Boko Haram to realize that no religious doctrine permits the killing of innocent lives. It is important to point out to them that they are inflicting terror, death and destruction upon people that are not in any way responsible for whatever injustice they believe have been done to them,” the forum said.
ACF also expressed concern over allegations peddled by certain people that some people from other sections of the country were conspiring to cause insecurity across the country with the intention of making it ungovernable.
Mourners Boo, Chase Away Emir Of suleja @ funeral mass for victims of bomb blast
The Emir, who was said to have arrived the church at about 11.00am, was booed by the congregation with shouts of “No, no. We don’t want him here.”

Man Call Police To Complain about Prostitute's Bad Service rendered to him..
Jerry Eugene Streng- Jailed After Calling Police To Complain About Prostitute's Bad Service
Berlin, Pennsylvania - Jerry Eugene Streng, a 63-year-old Berlin man was jailed after he allegedly called 911 to complain after two hookers charged him for sex, but failed to include him in the act.
According to Pennsylvania state police, Streng hired two Berlin area hookers, Jacqueline Eubanks, 50, and Tonia Good, 34, for $400 under the agreement that he would be in the middle of the women as they all engaged in sexual activities at his residence.
The women got undressed, and began smoking Streng's marijuana, but when it came to sex, they seemed to be more interested in pleasing each other rather than Streng.
Investigators say Streng took off his clothes and got into bed with the women. However, instead of being in the middle of the women, he was relegated to a corner of the bed as the two women had sex with one another.
When the women were finished, they reportedly took Streng's money without giving him the 'full service' he had paid for.
Streng called 911 to report what he referred to as a robbery. When officers arrived on the scene, they arrested Streng. Eubanks and Good were also apprehended.
A few hours later, Steng called 911 a second time when one of the prostitutes returned to his home to use the restroom. She and Streng were taken into custody.
Streng was booked into jail and charged with patronization of prostitution. Eubanks and Good were also booked into jail on prostitution charges.

Christmas Day Bomb Blast Victims Laid To Rest
Ten coffins were on display inside St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla outside the capital Abuja during the service, which saw cries of anger as well as prayers for those who committed the "diabolic" bombing.
In a sign of sectarian tensions that the Christmas bombing and other attacks have sparked, mourners at the church reacted with a chorus of "no, no, no" following a suggestion that a local Muslim leader be allowed to speak.
Islamist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for a wave of Christmas Day attacks, the deadliest of them at St. Theresa, where at least 44 people died.
The violence sparked fears of reprisals in a country roughly divided between a mainly Muslim north and predominately Christian south, though Boko Haram's victims have included many Muslims.

Meet Nigeria’s Youngest Lecturer
Call it teaching or lecturing, only a few Nigerian youths are likely to celebrate a teaching or lecturing appointment. The general belief is that teaching is not on the list of lucrative jobs in the country. In fact many see it as a job you opt for when efforts at getting better jobs fail.
But interestingly, this is not the case with 22-year-old Adejoke Ogunlana, who teaches Chemistry at the Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
A 2009 graduate of Chemistry from the same university, Ogunlana settled for teaching while in school. So it was easy for her to accept an automatic teaching employment the university offered her, having bagged a first class.
