There was pandemonium in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital as thousands of panic-stricken parents besieged public schools in the metropolis to withdraw their children, following rumours that some pupils died after eating meal allegedly poisoned but provided free by the Adebayo Alao-Akala government.
The poison scare was coming even as the rumour mills went abuzz that Governor Alao-Akala planned to use 200 people for fetish rituals to realize his second term ambition But the state government and the governor’s campaign organization, swiftly dismissed the reports, describing them as wicked lies and blackmail. Governor Alao-Akala’s Special Adviser on Communication, Dotun Oyelade, in a reaction, said the development was an attempt by political opponents to blackmail his principal as his administration does not run a free meal programme in schools.
He assured state residents of their safety.
Many public schools in the city had become empty by 100pm, after news made the round that some officials and politicians seeking elective offices in the state were distributing free food packs from government round the schools in the metropolis, of which some school children had died after eating thereof.
The food poison scare which hit the city about noon spread like wild fire, as anonymous callers made calls to parents and teachers in schools, warning them not to accept or allow their wards to partake of the meal.
Parents, including civil servants, market women and housewives stormed primary and secondary schools to withdraw their children and wards, on receiving the alarming messages.
But most school premises were scenes of chaos as hot arguments ensued between them and school authorities following the latter’s attempt to prevent the parents, who headed for the classrooms to pick the pupils. Hundreds of parents were sighted at Mokola,, Oniyanrin, Odo Iye, Oke Are, Opo Yeosa, Oje and other parts of Ibadan rushing to schools in the areas ostensibly to beat the arrival of the food distributors.
Similar situation played out in areas such as Oke Ado, Liberty road, NTC area, Molete, Sango, Ojoo, Mokola, Agodi gate,Old Ife road,Alakia,Challenge,Muslim/Odinjo area,Bodija,Basorun.
Some head teachers had to resorte to locking school gates, but this provoked serious protests and agitation by the teeming parents, some of who threatened to break the gates. Some even assaulted teachers.
The development caused security to be quickly beefed up with armed policemen stationed at strategic locations including Oniyanrin area to forestall break down of law and order.
Some of the parents vowed not to allow them back to school until the state government could publicly assure their safety.
A nursing mother met at St. Stephens Primary school,Oniyanrin, however told Daikly Sun that she had to go to the school and pick her seven year old daughter when she heard the rumours, declaring” You don’t take risks with politicians. I heard some pupils ate akara(baked beans) and died. They even said some disappeared after eating.,
So I had to rush here and pick my daughter.” Investigations at Adeoyo General Hospital, the University College Hospital (UCH) and some private hospitals located around Yemetu and Mokola areas of Ibadan , where some of the victims of the poisonous meal were said to have been taken, did not, however, reveal any reported case. Teachers declined comments on the development, but some at C and S New Eden Primary School Mokola were overheard saying they rexceived phone calls warning them not to receive the toxic food package from the Akala men.
But, Oyelade, assured residents of the state of their safety, describing the whole development as blackmail.

200 Women In Ikoyi Prison

Posted by 9jabook.com webmadam on December 1, 2010 at 3:00am
Statistics gathered from the prison by the the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, OPD, revealed that the 200 female prisoners were accommodated in the prison built to accommodate 100 female prisoners.
With 200 females in the prison, it is overcongested because the prison has exceeded its original capacity of 100 inmates, the OPD stated.
To decongest the female prison, the OPD says it is going to defend 145 female prisoners awaiting trial in the court. Twenty-eight others, it was learnt, had been convicted.
Director, OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, who disclosed this at the Lagos City Hall, Lagos Island, during the marking of the tenth anniversary of the body, revealed that many of the female prisoners had been there for long, either due to their inability to meet the bail conditions attached to their bail or for minor offences.
According to her, one of the pregnant women in the prison was detained there because she unknowingly bought a stolen second-hand generator which led to her arrest and arraignment in court.
She said the woman was remanded in prison because she could not perfect her bail conditions, which included payment of N50,000. She added that her husband deserted her and left her to her fate after she was sent to Ikoyi Prison..
The OPD director also disclosed a lady with a nine-month old baby was also remanded in the prison because she could not pay a debt of N40,000. The trial judge, she said, granted her bail in the sum of N100,000 which she could not provide. She described her case as pathetic because it was uncalled for, “for a judge to have slammed N100, 000 bail condition for an offence amounting to just N40,000.”
The OPD boss disclosed further that her office was compiling the phone numbers of elites in the society to assist inmates in paying the small amount attached to the bail conditions granted some of them, as well as defend those still awaiting trial.
She explained that the OPD recently visited prisons in the state and interviewed 25 inmates awaiting trial to offer them legal representation in court.
“However, on getting to the prisons, we were overwhelmed by the number of people awaiting trial.
“At Ikoyi male prison alone, we interviewed 200 inmates while at the female prison, over 30 inmates were interviewed,” she stated, adding that the Office also visited all remand homes and government approved motherless babies’ homes in Lekki; the Girls Correctional Centre, Idi-Araba and the Boys Correctional Centre, Oregun.
“Our aim was to check the welfare of the children who have been in care and protective custody of Lagos State through our office and also update the records and check the welfare of children and young persons in conflict with the law,” she added...
On the presentation of the book titled: Public Defence in a Developing Country: Looking Behind and Beyond, Rotimi described the book as a compilation of works by eminent persons in the legal sector ranging from judges, professors and scholars of law.
“The book highlights the OPD’s mission and vision for justice in Lagos State, its functions, contributions and the challenges faced by the OPD and public defence as a whole in Lagos State,” she said.

Teenager sells her virginity for N50million Naira 200,000pounds !

Posted by 9jabook.com webmadam on August 8, 2010 at 7:00am
While Naija girls are selling theirs for pepper soup and Big stout . I thought our teens were smart ?
Hungarian teen sells her virginity for N50m .See Hunger in Hungary !

A Hungarian teen has sold her virginity to a British buyer - who won out in a £200,000 (about N50 million) bidding war.

The sale - which was originally launched on eBay - continued by email after the online auction giant discovered the nature of the transaction and pulled the plug.

The 18-year-old girl - who identified herself only as Miss Spring - said she is now coming to Britain.

A determined Irish punter had attempted to gazump the United Kingdom bidder.

The pretty blonde dreams of going to university to become a doctor and has already qualified for a place - but has put it on hold to help her family.

She said: "My family has debts, we cannot afford to pay them. My mother borrowed a lot of money in Swiss Francs, and now with the credit crunch in Hungary the repayments in Hungarian forints have tripled, she couldn't pay it back.

"We faced losing our home and being on the street. I want to be able to pay back those loans - that's why I came up with the idea for this auction.

"It is not such a lot of money for what is on offer, considering half will vanish in tax, but it will be enough to pay of my debts and leave us clear.

"I was in contact with two final bidders - the Irish guy and the British guy. Both wanted me to come to them. I chose the British guy. He was very sympathetic to my cause.

"Both men wanted to marry me take care of me and my family. But for me this was supposed to be a one off thing. Getting married and living with someone is a challenge I am not sure I am yet ready for.

"However I would really like the opportunity to go to Britain or Ireland. So who knows."

In her blog she does not say how she is proceeding to conclude the deal.

Shell Soldiers says 200 militants killed in Delta State

Posted by cozzy webtatafo on May 17, 2009 at 5:00pm
At least 200 militants have been killed in the recent clash with the Nigerian military in the oil rich southeast Delta State, security sources said on Friday. "The militants gave a feeble resistance but cave in to the firepower of our boys, there is no doubt that about 200 of them must have died in the engagement," the sources said. An all-out war broke out on Friday between militants and operatives of the Joint Task Force (JTF) taking a military action code-named Operation Restore Hope. Security sources told 9jabook sources that the soldiers moved into Camp 5, the major base of militants in Delta State axis of the Niger Delta, by 10 a.m. local time and bombarded the place with shells from gunboats. Soldiers also used artillery on the ground while the air force covering the operation headed by the new commander of the JTF, Sarkin Yaki Bello, who was at the JTF headquarters with his deputy Wuyep Rimtip when the militants launch an attack on Wednesday. The operation began at Oporoza where there was little resistance to the military entry. Exchange of fire was reported after the militants moved to Camp 5. "The battle was simple for our boys, they had been spoiling for action against that Tompolo and his boys in that camp who always claim they have more strength than them," the sources said. After the Oporoza raid, the soldiers then moved to the nearby Kunukunuma and Okerenkoko, all around Chanomi creeks where the militants held sway. The leader of Camp 5 militants is feared to be killed, but could not be verified. The Management of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) has reportedly started evacuating their personnel from the troubled area while Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) restricted the movement of their workers within their facility. With the battle going on, there was fear that residents in the region of Warri were caught up in the crossfire between the soldiers and militants in the town. Rabe Abubakar, the spokesman for the military, said soldiers launched the operation to weed out the criminals that attacked their soldiers and hijacked two vessels in the area. He said it was the responsibility of JTF to fish out the hoodlums that attacked their men. Meanwhile, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta(MEND) said one of the hostages was killed by stray bullets from the Nigerian army who attacked an area they were being held in Delta state. The hostage was a Filipino sailor seized from the boat, the MV Spirit, on Thursday morning, militants said. The Nigerian military clashed with the MEND in southern Delta State on Wednesday morning.
