Man Rapes 15-Year-Old Orphan At Gunpoint In Enugu (Photo)

A carpenter, identified as Casmir Eze, is now in the custody of the police in Enugu State for allegedly defying a 15-year-old orphan at gunpoint.

Eze, from Umugoji Orba in Udenu Local Government Area, had on Sunday, about 2am, allegedly gained entrance into the compound of the victim, Ogechi (surname withheld), an SS1 student, by scaling the fence and threatening to kill the victim if she failed to open her door. The suspect also warned the victim not to shout or alert the neighbours.

After Ogechi opened the door, Eze, who covered his face with a scarf, allegedly pointed a gun at the victim and ordered her to switch off the lantern in the room. He thereafter pounced on the victim and forcibly had carnal knowledge of her.

Unknown that the victim had identified him, Eze fled after satisfying his sexual urge. But Ogechi reported the incident to Eze’s relations who helped her to report it to the police.

The police later arrested the suspect. Eze told his interrogators that he committed the crime but said it was the devil which pushed him into the act.

He said: “I don’t know what came over me. I have been planning how to get the girl. I decided on this method after other means failed.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ebere Amaraizu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), confirmed the story yesterday. Amaraizu said that operatives of the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department (SCIID), had commenced a full scale investigation into the incident.

The PPRO said: “The suspect is now begging for forgiveness and at the same time attributing the incident to the act of devil.”

Appeal Court Dismisses Nnamdi Kanu's Appeal

ABUJA—–The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed the appeal that was lodged before it by the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu and two other pro-Biafra agitators, David Nwawusi and Benjamin Madubugwu, had gone before the appellate court to challenge what they termed “strange procedure” adopted in their trial before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The trio ‎who are answering to a six-count treason charge the federal government preferred against them, in their consolidated appeal, alleged bias against trial Justice John Tsoho who not only ‎declined to grant them bail, but also permitted the prosecution to shield the identity of eight witnesses billed to testify in the ‎matter.

Justice Tsoho had equally rejected application praying him to discharge and acquit the three defendants in line with ‎section 351(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

Meantime, in a unanimous judgment on Wednesday, a three-man panel of Justices of the appellate court led by Justice Abdul Northerner, dismissed th defendants’ appeal as “grossly lacking in merit”.

The appellate court further declined to order the release of the defendants on bail on the premise that allegations against them are “grievous and serious”.

Justice Northerner who read the lead judgment, said it was not in doubt the 1st defendant, Kanu, has dual citizenship.

He said Kanu’s possession of both Nigerian and British passports increased the likelihood that he could jump bail if released from detention.

On the procedure adopted by the trial court, the appeal court panel maintained that Justice Tsoho had the discretion to decide how the proceeding should be conducted.

“The lower court has the power to exercise its discretion on the matter and the exercise of such discretion by the trial judge did not amount to denial of fair hearing to the defendants.

“The issues are resolved against the appellants. Ruling of the trial court is hereby upheld”, the appellate court held.

Basically, Kanu and his co-defendants, through their lawyer Chief Chuks Muoma, SAN, argued before the appellate court that trial Justice Tsoho erred in law “when having refused the application for the witnesses of the prosecution to testified behind screens, or masked” on February 19, 2016, “suddenly varied the said order in the ruling delivered on March 7, 2016, on a mere oral application by the respondent”.

They maintained that the variation order was made on the basis of a mere oral application by the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, Mohammed Diri, who had informed the trial court that witnesses scheduled to testify against the defendants said they would not appear unless they were allowed to wear masks or their identities shielded from both lawyers and people observing the proceeding.

“My lord this is because they are already receiving threats from associates of the defendants that they will be dealt with. The witnesses said they love their lives and requested that their identities be shielded from people who are coming to witness the proceeding”, Diri told the court.

He said DSS operatives also billed to testify in the matter, made similar request on the basis that they are investigating terrorism cases and would not want their identities exposed.

Following his application, Justice Tsoho gave an order permitting the witnesses to testify behind a screen, stressing that the decision did not amount to a variation of a previous ruling that prohibited the witnesses from appearing in mask.

The three defendants had‎ earlier opposed FG’s application for secret trial, even as they queried the propriety of the court allowing ‎”masquerades” to testify against them.

Though Justice Tsoho maintained that the subsequent order he made in respect of the trial was in tandem with his ruling on February 9 that rejected secret trial of the defendants, the defence lawyer, Muoma, SAN, yesterday, urged the appellate court to set aside “the revised order for the identities of the witnesses to be protected”.

‎Muoma, SAN, ‎argued that the trial court had become functus-officio on the matter, having earlier ruled on the previous application by the prosecution.

It was his argument that FG ought to have appealed against the initial ruling instead of re-approaching the same court with a similar application.

He prayed the appellate court to direct the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to transfer their case-file to another Judge for trial.

Nevertheless, FG, in a counter-affidavit ‎it filed before the appellate court, sought the dismissal of the appeal which it said lacked merit.

The DPP argued that the March 7‎ order of the high court did not amount to a variation of the February 9 ruling.

FG insisted that Kanu and the others were never denied fair-hearing by Justice Tsoho to warrant re-assignment of the case-file to another Judge. It opposed their request to be released on bail.

‎Besides, FG accused the defendants of attempting to use frivolous interlocutory appeals to delay their trial.

‎‎Kanu who was hitherto the Director of Radio Biafra and Television, ‎has been in detention since October 14, 2015, when he was arrested by security operatives upon his arrival to Nigeria from his base in the United Kingdom.

The defendants were alleged to have committed treasonable felony, an offence punishable under Section 41(C) of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

FG alleged that they were the ones managing the affairs of the IPOB which it described as “an unlawful society”.

Kanu was alleged to have illegally smuggled radio transmitters into Nigeria, which he used to disseminate “hate broadcasts”, encouraging the “secession of the Republic of Biafra”, from Nigeria.

The accused persons however pleaded not guilty to the charge on January 20, even as the court ordered their remand at Kuje prison ‎in Abuja.

We Are Detaining Fani-Kayode With A Valid Remand Warrant - EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday said it was detaining Femi Fani-Kayode with a valid remand warrant. The Commission was reacting to reports indicating that the former Minister of Aviation was still being detained despite meeting administrative bail conditions by the EFCC.

In a telephone chat with SIGNAL on Friday, spokesperson to the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren denied Fani-Kayode had met any bail conditions. "Which administrative bail conditions did he meet? What I can tell you is that we are holding the man with a valid remand warrant and what that means is that work is still ongoing on his case", Uwujaren told our reporter.

A statement on Friday by Fani-Kayode’s special assistant on media, Jude Ndukwe, disclosed that the EFCC has moved Fani-Kayode, to Lagos for further investigation despite meeting his bail conditions.

Ndukwe said the anti-graft commission did not give any reason for moving Fani-Kayode who has been in their custody since Monday, May 9, 2016.

The Commission had on Friday, May 6, 2016 sent an official invitation letter to Fani-Kayode to explain his role in the presidential campaign funds of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2015 presidential elections.

According to Ndukwe, the EFCC were only trying to punish the former aviation Minister and keep him away from his family.

He said: “They just want to stress him, take him away from his family in order to break him.

“We do not know why he was moved, we just want to believe it is one of the antics of the EFCC to just harass him and keep him away from as many of his relatives and associates as possible.

“I don’t even think that there was any need for the transfer, if there was something they wanted to get regarding their investigation, they would have as well done in Abuja,” he said.

Female student of College Of Education Oju shot by soldier (Photo)

A female student of College of Education in Oju was shot while sitting in front of her residence at Lawani hostels, situated outside the school campus.

According to a source who choose to remain anonymous, “the problem started when one student of the institution was alleged to have a long standing problem with a female student and supposed girl friend of a soldier.

“For that reason, the soldier, Thursday afternoon stormed the institution to whisk Anthony to the ‘Operation Zenda’ base in Oju, but fellow students resisted the move. He was asked to get an approval from the institution’s management before taking the student away.

“At that point the angry soldier went away, promising to come back. That evening the soldier went back to the institution with some of his colleagues to abduct the said Anthony but were resisted by students in the institution who also aided Anthony to escape.

“Vexed by the action of the students the soldier opened fire with his riffle and the innocent girl who was sitting by the door of her room got hit at the side of her chest.

“She was rushed to Adoga hospital in Oju where she was given two pints of blood because she had lost so much blood and thereafter rushed to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH, for further treatment because the bullet could not be extracted and her condition was deteriorating.

“As I speak with you we cannot ascertain the condition of the student but the Army Corporal has been arrested by the Police in Oju and transferred to the Command Headquarters in Makurdi.”

Meanwhile, attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu failed but a top Police source who craved anonymity confirmed that the matter was being investigated while the Army Corporal was being interrogated.

Army Arrests Rivers State APC Deputy Chairman, Peter Odike's Son For Killing & Kidnapping

Son of the Deputy Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers, Peter Odike, has been arrested by the Nigerian Army.
The younger Odike was arrested on allegations of killing and kidnapping.

Reacting to the development, the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party said the arrest was commendable and further vindicated the PDP’s position that leaders of the opposition party in the State cannot deny their link and sponsorship of violence and criminality in the State.

The PDP said the arrest of Odike’s son did not come to the party as a shocker and that his reported confession to the crimes would make it easier and quicker for the process of investigation and prosecution by the Army and the relevant security authorities to be concluded.

The party commended the courage and decision of the suspect in confirming that he was actively being supported by his father, describing the action of the APC leader as unpatriotic, shameful, wicked and serious embarrassment to the State
The PDP said “it has been made to believe that the security agencies are aware of its consistent alerts on the fact that some APC chieftains are hell-bent on causing violence and creating insecure atmosphere in the State.”

It said this “is in addition to the charge on their supporters to take up arms against perceived opponents in the State and outright release from detention of hardened criminals who were being charged in court for killings, kidnapping, armed robbery and cult-related activities during the administration of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi.”

The party called on the Army authorities not to sweep this particular arrest of Odike’s son under the carpet but to ensure that thorough process is followed in bringing him to justice to serve as deterrent to others in the State.

The PDP also appealed to other security agencies to redouble their efforts in tackling insecurity, violence and criminality in the State.

It said it was aware of the frantic efforts the APC leaders were making, apart from the blackmail, to incite, cause violence, insecurity and declaration of state of emergency in the State.
