Lagos Sex Worker Kills Trader With Razor Blade

Residents of FESTAC Town in the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State have been thrown into commotion after a lady allegedly killed a trader with a razor blade.

Findings by reporters revealed that the culprit, simply identified as Precious attacked Sunday Emmanuel during a misunderstanding and slit his stomach with a razor.

The suspected sex worker, according to the testimony of one Buchi, a car marketer, visited FESTAC around 4am on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, and confronted Emmanuel who owns a makeshift shop on First Avenue, where he sold alcoholic drinks.

It was learnt from the report made available by PUNCH Metro that Precious usually visited the spot at late night hours in search of customers.

On the day of the incident, she met with Emmanuel and an argument ensued between them and degenerated into a fight.

Precious reportedly brought out a blade and slit the stomach of the 32-year-old trader.

After perpetrating the crime, she boarded a motorcycle to escape. The guy who was attacked ran after her, but the injuries made him fall and he died, because his intestines came out,” Buchi revealed.

He continued; “People thought she had escaped. But the motorcyclist, who witnessed the attack on Emmanuel, rode her to the FESTAC Police Station and handed her over to a policeman. I don’t know what caused the fight between her and the man.”

Speaking with journalists moments after the incident, the Manager of De Haven Hotel, Mr Lucky, said the motorcyclist informed him about the incident.

He said, “After he told me, I stepped out and saw a lot of people at the scene, which is opposite our hotel. The motorcyclist informed me because he knew the police might want to hold the hotel responsible for the death. He also wanted me to ensure that the police treated the case properly.

“When I got to the station, I saw the girl; she is a sex worker, and was not remorseful about what she did. Even when she was handcuffed, she was still not remorseful, until when they were transferring the case and she was told that she might never come back.”

“The incident did not happen in the hotel, but opposite the hotel and my only saving grace was the motorcyclist who took her to the station and informed me. I learnt that she was taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.”

When contacted on the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said he was yet to get details of the incident.

Imo Visit: Aisha Yesufu Mocks President Buhari’s Outfit

 

Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu has commended the residents of Imo State for obeying the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra following the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state.

Roads, streets, and businesses in Imo state were majorly deserted on Thursday as President Buhari arrived the state wearing Igbo attire.

The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma had invited the president to commission some projects in the state.

Some of the projects slated for commissioning included Naze-Nekede-Ihiagwa-Obinze Link Road Phase One, an underground tunnel on D-Tiger Road Owerri, the Egbeada Bye-Pass and the new State Executive Council Chambers at the Government House, among others.

Yesufu while reacting to the compliance to the sit-at-home order in the state, said it is an effective weapon when strategically deployed.

She further stated that the empty streets will hit Buhari real hard.

She wrote, “Buhari talked about the 1967 treatment some time ago and today he got the 2021 treatment. With Buhari’s crave for attention, pomp and fanfare, the empty streets will hit him real hard.”

“Sit At Home order is an effective weapon that can be deployed strategically and today it was!”

The activists also mocked the president for his Igbo outfit which has attracted the reactions of Nigerians.

“If there is one thing Buhari is competent at doing and has competently done in his 6 years in office, it is modelling!”

“This tailor must be so terrible that he has not been able to competently handle the only competent thing he knows how to do.”

Stray Bullet From Southeastern Nigeria Security Outfit, Ebube Agu Kills Traditional Ruler's Daughter In Ebonyi

A stray bullet from an unidentified operative of South-East security outfit, codenamed Ebube Agu has snuffed life out of the daughter of a traditional ruler in Onicha Igboeze community, in the Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi state. 

The deceased, said to be the daughter of a traditional ruler, Ezeogo Oshimiri Agwu, Nwukpa, Oshimiri 1 of Onicha, died after the stray bullet allegedly fired by security operative hit her at Onuafor Enuagu where she was selling fruits on Wednesday evening.

Confirming the incident in a Facebook post on Thursday, the monarch said, “Even when it seems the tiger sleeps, it doesn't imply slumbering. Enyi is attached to whatever and whoever that has it for a reason. Onwo dụdụ ayaa, evụ je kwahụ idei n'ime.. iwee oh. I am saddened. Ma seh ọdụ o dụ. Omere m erinaaa eh.”

He alleged that the shots were fired by an Ebube Agu operative who came with his colleagues to the area to arrest a coffin maker over undisclosed allegations.

He wrote, “This young girl of about 25, a hard-working youth and daughter of HRH Oshimili Agwu Nwukpa, peacefully plying her legitimate trade of selling fruits at Onuafor Enuagu, Onicha Igboeze; was gruesomely gunned down by reckless 'security operatives' this evening. She was hit by bullets from the guns of these goons while attending to her customers in her shop.
 
“While some say that the reckless shooters were POLICEMEN from Onicha Command Isu, other eyewitnesses insist that they were EBUBEAGU operatives that came in an UNMARKED WHITE HILUX from Isu to arrest a certain COFFIN MAKER for unclear allegations. 
 
“Whichever group is responsible for this crime, it is one attack too many on the peaceful people of Onicha Igboeze; and the atrocity must be fully investigated and prosecuted. For too long and repeatedly now, the peace of Onicha Igboeze has been continuously disrupted by 'state or quasi state' operators without justification. We have continually appealed and cautioned that Onicha Igboeze can be very volatile and that no one or authority should find pleasure in putting fire to the fuel of that undesirable volatility; but what do we get? 
 
“In the heat of 'Unknown Gun Men' era, an alleged Ebubeagu team shot their way into the same Afor Enuagu harassed villagers, destroyed properties and burnt down a widow’s home without justification. Also, a few Mondays ago, after a murderous attack at Anike Onicha by several gunmen that left about 8 people dead, several others injured, with many vehicles and motorcycles burnt; the same 'Ebubeagu shooters' invaded the clan in a hail of bullets to execute a vexatious project of mass arrest of hapless villagers; who were still in deep shock of the day’s attack. 
 
“We are peaceful, but not cowards. The people are long suffering, but not timid. They can be understanding, but not stupid. These unprovoked attacks must stop. No one should take the patience of the people of Onicha Igboeze for weakness or fear. We cannot be the shooting range of Ebubeagu or any trainee security force, or our people the dummies for live potshots. 
 
“All those authorized to bear arms must be people appropriately trained and cleared to do so. The looming danger is that citizens could be pushed to resort to self help, if these unprovoked and unprofessional attacks are not stopped forthwith and the persons involved reined in. 
 
“While calling on the good people of Onicha Igboeze to continue to remain calm and law-abiding, even in the face of this vexation act of murder, government and security agencies must act swiftly to arrest that team that invaded Onicha Igboeze today and snuffed life out of our daughter. They must be brought to justice. 
 
“Meanwhile, both local and state government authorities must intervene with the bereaved family to provide succor and empathy at this point of their grief.  Anything short is a call to anarchy. Rest In Peace dear daughter. You shall not die in vain.”

Governors of the South-East state had in April 2021 announced the establishment of Ebube Agu.

The outfit was charged with the responsibility to coordinate all the activities of vigilantes in the South-East and check the rising level of insecurity in the region.

It was fashioned after the South-West security outfit, Amotekun.

The South-East region has witnessed an increase in insecurity, including attacks on security operatives, their facilities and other critical infrastructure by unknown gunmen.

There are also reported cases of banditry, farmers-herders clashes, armed robbery, among others.

President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport in Owerri, Imo State. 

The President who was clothed in the Isi Agu Igbo native attire was welcomed by some of the elders in the state.

SaharaReporters had on Saturday reported that the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, disclosed that President Buhari would visit the state on Thursday.

He had listed roads constructed through federal government/World Bank intervention and Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management (NEWMAP) projects.

“Imo has been able to attract additional support from Mr. President on the management of some ecological problems in the state,” he had said.

On the Anambra election, Uzodinma had predicted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would emerge victorious.

The governor had urged the people of the state and the South-East to align with the APC.

“Those who support the party at the centre will get both their rights and their privileges”, he had added.

Meanwhile, a report which was later denied by the Indigenous People of Biafra had said the group kicked against the visit of Buhari to the state and directed residents to stay at home. 

IPOB in a broadcast on Monday evening declared Thursday as a Sit-at-home protest over the president’s visit.

One of the IPOB executives, Mazi Chika Edoziem, stated this on Monday.

IPOB declared that Nigeria’s president is not “welcomed into Imo State, Biafra Land on Thursday, September 9, 2021.”

According to him, “all the traditional rulers, all ndi iche and every Biafran should stay away from any ceremony organised by Hope Uzodimma to welcome him.”

IPOB equally declared total lock down of Biafra on that day.

SaharaReporters gathered that residents of Owerri, the state capital complied fully with the directive initially given by IPOB.

Buhari and Uzodinma are in the same party, APC.
