Already, they have received God’s favour with their new kids given scholarships, and their one-room apartment changed into a flat, as well as a car donated to them.

Daily Sun had broken the news of the arrival of the quintuplets to an Okada rider father who had appealed for help from public-spirited individuals.

As the quintuplets were dedicated to God at the Winners Chapel, Nsukka, their father said: “I am grateful to The Sun newspaper, Winners Chapel.”

The quintuplets were delivered through a caesarean section at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka.

The four new born babies christened Mathew, Mark, Miracle and Favour were ushered into the church which perches atop the Nsukka hills with tumultuous ovation from the enthusiastic congregation who had been waiting eagerly for their entry.

Describing the kids as international children, the officiating pastor in charge of the Church, Peace Efemena, thanked God for the children and called on the congregation not to relent in their support and assistance for them, describing them as rare gifts from God.

He disclosed that a scholarship scheme has been endowed for the babies courtesy of some members of the Church who have also relocated the family from a one-room apartment to a two-bed room flat.

Pastor Efemena also told Daily Sun that a car has been donated to the kids by philanthropists.

His words: “Our founder Bishop Onyedepo has a very large heart for welfare of the people, so in our branches we emulate him. That is why some of us here have decided to give scholarship to the quintuplets. Besides, we also relocated them from their one room apartment to a two bed room flat. We are very much concerned about the lives of the kids because they are God’s special gift and we see them as future pastors. I urge the couple to stop getting more children. They should concentrate on giving them proper up bring both spiritually and physically.”

In a chat with Daily Sun, the father of the babies said: “I cannot thank God enough for what he has done for me. May his name be glorified forever. I thank him for opening my eyes to choose where to worship him. It is only him that can adequately compensate our pastor and my brothers and sisters in the church for their love and assistance to us.

“My gratitude goes to The Sun newspapers for exposing us to the global community from where we have been getting assistance. In fact, somebody in Europe called us, saying he saw The Sun publication about the quintuplets in the Internet.

“Caring for four kids at a time is an enormous task, but by the Grace of God, we are coping, we are still appealing to the Nsukka Local Government to come to our aid. The kids are yearning for favour from the state governor, Dr. Sullivan Chime and his wife whose love for the under privileged is unequaled. Any financial help to us can be paid to the kids account at the Intercontinental Bank, Nsukka Branch number – 0012110000558931.

The motorcyclist, Mr. Kehinde Olayiwola, was shot to death by one Mr. Nlephen Sunday, a police officer with service number 324788 attached to Pedro Police Station on Thursday because Olayiwola’s passenger failed to wear crash helmet. Sunday Tribune gathered that the policemen, who included Constable Olajide Samuel, 430490, Constable Lawrence Egbe, 378079, and Sergeant Egbemebor Sunday with service number 193603 of Pedro Police Station often waylay commercial motorcyclists along Bariga Road for not wearing helmet. It was learnt that the policemen had charged Mr. Olayiwola to pay some money for carrying a passenger who had refused to wear the helmet but the okada man could not pay the money. An eyewitness, who identified himself as Dotun, told Sunday Tribune that the policeman, Mr. Nlephen, shot Olayiwola at the belly because he refused to compromise. Dotun said, “Immediately they saw that the okada man fell down, the policemen wanted to run away but the crowd apprehended them and took their names and numbers.” However, Olayiwola died while receiving treatment at Gbagada General Hospital while his body had since been deposited at the Ikorodu General Hospital’s mortuary. Speaking to Sunday Tribune, a Pastor of the Four Square Gospel Church, Magboro, Gauun Road, a suburb in Ogun State where Olayiwola attended, Reverend Sunday Igbalajobi, said that police has been using various tricks to bury the case. He told Sunday Tribune that the police did not let the family know when they carried away Olayiwola’s body from Gbagada General Hospital. “The police hid their vehicle, a white Ford with registration number NPF 9532 B with the inscription of Area H Bariga at the back of the hospital. They blocked sympathizers from entering the hospital and quickly tok the body away. I had to follow them when I realized that they had carried the dead body. I trailed their vehicle to Ikorodu where they deposited the body,” the pastor said. ...Another foils his kidnap attempt Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr Jonathan Johnson has recommended for promotion an ASP for foiling a kidnap attempt and robbery at Enugu/Port-Harcourt expressway, by overpowering the gang and killing them in a shoot out. The commissioner said, the officer, who was heading back to Aba after a usual security briefing at the headquarters in Umuahia, ran into the gang that dragged him out of his car into a land cruiser jeep, and left him in the company of one of them while they went to chase their main target. It was at this point that he was able to dispossess the robber of his gun, took cover in the bush and alerted the joint army patrol force that reinforced and helped him kill the rest of the armed robbers. Mr. Johnson who disclosed this when speaking with newsmen at the Abia state Police Command, Umuahia, said it was unknown to the armed robbers/kidnappers that the man they had caught was a police officer.

Okada rider killed by policeman over N90 bribe.

Posted by Egbes Ogbeide on May 25, 2009 at 10:15pm
A policeman attached to Emene Police Station, Enugu, has provoked public outcry following his shooting of a commercial motorcycle operator, Okorie Aneke, last Friday.Okada men live a terrible life and sometimes not only police but strange people murder them in strange locations .See picture at bottom at your own risk ! Terrible slaying of Seirra leone okada driver.An investigation showed that Aneke was riding his motorcycle when he was stopped at a police checkpoint on the Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway, Emene.One of the policemen had demanded N500 from him for not using a crash helmet, but the rider had replied that he had no money as he had just left his house to start the day's work. He, however, offered the policemen N90 which was rejected.An argument ensued between Aneke and the policemen and in the course of this, one of the security operatives, an inspector, shot at him.The bullet entered through his back and emerged from the chest leaving the victim gasping for breath as he was soaked with his own blood.To cover up, the killer policeman reportedly hung his rifle on the dying man's neck to give the impression that he was an armed robber.But his plot was frustrated by an eyewitness, Mr. Vincent Obetta, a legal practitioner, who was approaching the checkpoint in his car when the incident happened.The lawyer alighted from his car and insisted that the killer cop must remove the rifle, but he refused.Sensing that tempers were rising as people in the vicinity were gathering, the policemen called their colleagues at Emene Police Station, who, within a few minutes, came in a Hilux patrol van.The policemen were led by the Divisional Crime Officer at the station to the crime scene. The cop told the DCO that he was attacked by Aneke and two unknown assailants who had fled into the bush.He maintained that the assailants wanted to snatch his rifle and in the process, he managed to shoot one of them while the two others fled into the bush.Obetta, however, refuted his claims saying that the okada rider was alone and did not attack the cop. He explained that Aneke was shot while arguing with the other policemen.He said, "The DCO then asked me what I wanted them to do, but I said we should take the victim to the hospital since he was still breathing and he suggested that he should be taken to the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, whether his life could still be saved."I also helped in carrying Aneke into the police Hilux van, but he was not taken to the hospital; they drove him to Emene Police Station."Obetta said he went with them to the station where he informed the Divisional Police Officer that Aneke was killed without any provocation.In the course of this, he said a crowd had gathered in front of the station and fearing a mob attack, the policemen fired teargas canisters to disperse the people.Obetta said he had to run away, abandoning his car at the police station. He boarded a commercial motorcycle to the state police headquarters where he demanded to see the Commissioner of Police but was told that he was not in the office.He later met with the officer in charge of the CP Police Monitoring Unit, Mr. Mike Abattam and narrated the story to him.Obetta also met with another team of seven senior officers who were having a meeting. He informed them about the incident and they asked him to give them 20 minutes to discuss the matter.When he was called in, the meeting presided over by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. Oguguo, asked him to go back to Emene Police Station to pacify the protesting youths.At the station, he learnt that Aneke's remains had been deposited in a mortuary and his motorcycle recovered and taken to the police headquarters.The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Ebere Amarizu, got many people boiling when he alleged in a radio interview that Aneke was a criminal who, along with two assailants, attempted to snatch a rifle from a policeman.The state police command has, however, doused public anger by promising to investigate the incident.The Assistant Commissioner in charge of the state CID, Mr. Damilola Adebuyi, told journalists on that the commissioner, Mohammed Zarewa, had ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.okada man picture slaughtered in sierra leone by unknown persons .SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PICTURE AT YOUR OWN RISK !
