Man Kills Roommate During Fight Over Cooking Pot

The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended a 20-year-old man, Ngwuta Nweke, for allegedly killing his friend in their apartment in the Sawmill area of Ebute Meta.

                              Emeka James

According to the police, the suspect strangled Emeka James during an argument over a cooking pot on March 22, 2014.

Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said, “On the fateful day, around 12.30pm, Nweke strangled James who lived in an apartment at Kadara slum, close to Sawmill, Ebute Meta, during a fight over a cooking pot.

“The corpse has been deposited at the Mainland Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, while the matter is under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.” The suspect, however, told the police that he did not mean to kill his friend, but only strangled him in a bid to overpower him in a free fight.
He said, “James is the owner of the apartment, I only started living with him about a month before the incident. I sell fuel pump for a living at Idumota and I did not have the money to secure an accommodation so James took me in. “On the day of the incident, I had some stew in a pot and James told me to empty the pot because he wanted to make use of it. I told him that I could not pour the stew anywhere and he should be patient, but he got angry. “In a fit of rage, he picked up the pot and poured the stew into a dirty container. I also got angry and we started fighting. “I grabbed him from behind and as we were struggling, we both fell to the ground. When I got up, I realised that James was no longer breathing.”
It was learnt that the deceased was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
Neighbours were said to have alerted policemen at the Denton Police Station after which the suspect was arrested and transferred to the homicide department of the SCID.
The landlord of the victim, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he was surprised that the suspect was living with the deceased. He said, “I have known James since 2011 when he started living in the house. He was a good person and was very hardworking. He was a hawker, but when the state government began a clamp down of their activities, he started doing other menial jobs.
“I never knew anyone was living with James. It was when I was invited by the police that I saw the guy (Nweke) for the first time.”
It was learnt that the matter would soon be charged to court.

National Conference Delegate Spotted Playing Scrabble Responds

The photo of a delegate to Nigeria's ongoing National Conference playing Scrabble on his Laptop went viral sometime last week and the culprit is Professor Oyewale Tomori.

                               Professor Oyewale Tomori

A national daily had posted the photo with a caption, ''Does anyone have a name for him?"

                                             Prof. Tomori playing scrabble

Responding to this, the Elder statesman, Professor Tomori, said:

"Yes, indeed, I know the person, because I am the one. I have responded to some of the blogs on the matter. The truth is this activity was done during the lunch break between 2-4 pm. As soon as the Chairman calls the meeting to order, I switch off my computer. Is there any rule against spending my free time as I like? Moreover, is there anything wrong, if others engage in reading newspapers and talking with others during their free time, and I prefer engaging in activities, I consider more useful to my development, such as using scrabble to improve my word power and discover new words? Indeed, I often play against the best in the world, world champions, and I have been beaten many times. But in the process I learnt new words, their meanings and improve my written and spoken language.

"Journalists live and sell their papers through the sensation route, which often is the opposite to telling the truth or providing full details. If the person who posted the picture had said the activity took place during the lunch break, that would have been no news; but to create sensation, he or she was economical with details.

"I will certainly continue to play such other mind engaging games like Sudoku, Logic, etc, if only to make me a better thinker and presenter. Only thing, is I will do this at my own free time!

"Thank you very much."

Professor Oyewale Tomori is a University administrator and academician  and the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, Ogun State. He is a researcher and laboratory specialist has a wide range of experience in virology, disease prevention and control, national capacity building and development in the African region.
