Confessions of a killer; Woman confesses to killing popular politician by poisoning his meal, dies

Late Vincent Ike(Omoiko)...what really happened?


There is an outrage that has refused to cool down in Ejigbo as you are reading this paper.
It is the alleged confessions of a popular restaurant and bar operator whose name was simply given as Ifeoma who allegedly confessed to killing a popular politician by poisoning his nkwobi, a popular delicacy made of cow hoofs and skin enjoyed by most people from south east of Nigeria
Those who know say Ifeoma had started behaving strangely since   the death of popular Ejigbo politician Imo state born Late Vincent Ike better known to many as Omoiko who suddenly developed a mysterious health condition which later took his life.
Close sources who knew of the extra marital love affair between Ifeoma and Omoiko said Ifeoma married with four children started complaining to her friends of seeing apparitions of Omoiko every now and then few weeks after the late politician was buried, a fact that was attributed to their closeness when he was alive. It was when  she started complaining to her friends that the apparition has started chasing  her around with a machete that it became apparent that there was more to the show than met the eye.
Further investigation exposed that her problems became worse one day when she collapsed in her house and was rushed to a famous hospital in Ejigbo where she never improved even with the many pastors and men and women of God who came to pray for her. These pastors all went away with the conclusions that she must confess her sins or die.
According to the gist, she was later discharged from the hospital when she was showing no signs of recovery.
That was when her family members decided  to take her home to Ogwashi Ukwu as she was told her condition defied orthodox medicine. Ogwashi became rendevous for mother of all confessions before she collapsed and died throwing the entire neighbourhood abuzz.
Those who were at Ogwashi Ukwu during the yuletide returned to Lagos with the sad  and unfortunate gist which seemed to have enveloped the ancient Delta state community and smeared Ejigbo. While some people allege that she mentioned the people that bought her over with N2m to kill Omoiko others say the story is mere fabrication and just a figment of some people’s conjecture
Inside sources say Ifeoma’s problems started sometime late last year 2016 when she started being sickly and emaciated enough as to raise an eyebrow. Her very popular bar and restaurant shrinking with low patronage.
Before this period which also coincided with Omoiko;s death, Ifeoma’s friends recall how she had announced a boom in her fortunes as she talked freely about having bought a piece of landed property warming up to buy a car
Those who know say one day she had a convulsion which left her unconscious/
Said a close neighbour “On that day she had a fit of convulsion, Ifeoma was pleading with Omoiko to forgive her and crying endlessly. She could not explain what was happening to her”

Mysterious rain storm destroys church in which baby girl disappeared

The church before

The church after

A sudden and mysterious rain storm has blown away the church in which a baby girl, Temitope Ogundeyi had disappeared a few months back.

The rainstorm had blown so much breeze which collapsed a wall dumping its entire blocks upon the church leaving it crashing on the floor as the picture show.

No one was injured in the accident because no member of the church had arrived for church service that early Sunday morning

Recall that ECD reported the cries of a mother Mrs Miriam Ogundeyi whose baby grew wings and flew away one night and has never been seen till date.

The church Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Mount Zion Branch better known as Temple of Peace situated at 30 Ilufunmi street Ejigbo came into the news when a two years old baby girl Tope who was sleeping with her mum in the church but has not been seen ever since.

When ECD visited the church after the rain storm, neighbours were still talking about the incident thanking God for no lives were lost. They also retold how the rain storm of the morning hit the wall which in turn hit the church.

A motley crowd had gathered after the news spread about the church collapse with mixed feelings trailing the sad incident. While some people feel that it serves the church right because according to one passer by “ a church from where babies disappear is not a good church  while some others say it could be mere coincidence.

Said a neighbour “ it was around between 6.30a.m and 7 a.m that we heard a loud noise and a crashing sound and when I ran out, behold it was the church sitting on its own debris. Thank God no lives were lost.

Obe’s bombshell; LGA Chairmanship is not for the inexperienced. …Hon Monsuru Obe in exclusive chat on his plans for Ejigbo

Former Vice Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council whose eyes are on the Chairmanship seat, Hon Monsuru Obe has dropped what many consider a bomb on the current goings on as the build up to the local Council elections in Lagos continues saying that “local council leadership is not for the inexperienced”

In a recent exclusive chat with ECD team, Hon Obe said he is the most qualified to mount the saddle because according to him, he understands “the real issues in grassroots leadership”

The scion of the Nurudeen Obe political family in reaction to the seeming endorsement of Dr Olatunde Olusunmade  and Dr Olumide Ojoola by Lagos APC Chairman, Chief Dele Ajomale as APC flag bearers in the forth coming council elections said there should be no such endorsements as the field has to be level for all contenders, 

in his words, “I believe in party supremacy and structure. Depriving other contenders amounts to hand picking which is not democratic in this dispensation. Let all the contenders test their popularity in a primary election to choose who is better for APC. It is better that all APC members are stakeholders rather than being dispersed. No one loves a contentious government. The system has to be very transparent to hold water.”

Speaking further, Obe said the race to Tiger House that is the Ejigbo Local Council headquarters should be for the experienced people like me and not for freshers who do not even understand the dynamics of local council governance and would begin to learn on the job with scarce resources available. As for me, I have the technical know-how to fall back on my experience when the chips are down.

Defense of Bamigbetan’s tenure

In defense of his years on the saddle as Vice Chairman, the civil engineer said “No matter how you try to bend history, Ejigbo was not as connected as it is today. We did all the connecting roads that link Ejigbo with the many communities around it. we had figured that traffic engulfed Ejigbo because of no connecting roads so we did some connection for the people. That is why Idimu, Isheri/Ijegun, Ajao estate links. We did powerline, Ailegun to connect Bayo Oyelana and decongest Iyana Ejigbo. That was why we started Peter Agha, the famous January 27 road which has been completed today. Who would also forget the many drainages we did to checkmate flooding?

Again, when we came there were only two schools but we dispersed the schools across all the wards. Pupils and students do not have to trek far to congested schools.

Don't also forget what we did for the health centers by opening up health centers across the wards. We even gave free drugs and 24 hours service but not now”

LGA Elections fever grips Lagosians... Some of those who want to rule Ejigbo

Dr Olatunde Olusunmade

He is one of the biggest contenders for the seat of Chairman of Ejigbo LCDA. Olusunmade, a medical doctor of great repute has been seeking this seat for sometime now even though he never made it covert. This time around, he is not in the dark but out in the open. He had told ECD that it is not a rumour that he is interested in the seat when the Lagos LGA elections are held. He is the founder and medical Director of Estate Clinics,situated at Jakande estate, Ejigbo. He is of the APC.

Engr. Monsuru Obe

Another big contender for the seat of Ejigbo power is son of one of Ejigbo’s major political war horses Nurudeen Obe, Monsuru Obe was Vice Chairman of Ejigbo under Hon Kehinde Bamigbetan and logically feels he is the most qualified and experienced to fill the seat vacated by his boss.

He will readily talk about his in depth knowledge of how things work at the grassroots local government level, Obe does not mince words about his intention to battle for this seat. He says “Let us have a free and fair primaries or a debate and see who will explain well all he wants to do as Chairman”

Obe is a civil engineer. He is a solid member of APC.

Engr. Ibrahim Adefenwa.

He is not new in the contest for the leadership of the Tiger House, the headquarters of Ejigbo Local council. Ibrahim Adefenwa better known as A10 is a PDP man to the core who believes that Ejigbo and indeed Nigeria will be better off if PDP is in power not only nationally but also at the LGA level.

He never ceases to tell all who care to listen that APC has failed Nigeria and indeed Ejigbo so must be changed.

See what we did at the House of reps and House of Assembly and the contributions of our Hon members and ypou will know that PDP means business.

Dr Olumide Ojoola.

Many people got to know of the political might of Dr. Olumide Ojoola, one of the many medical doctor sons of Oba Moroof Ojoola, Ojoon of Ejigbo when he landed from the blues to contest the primaries to be a member of Lagos House of Assembly representing Oshodi 11 but did not succeed. He came second in the contest after about a month of joining the race also planting himself into political reckoning by so doing.

He wants to play a role in the way his community is run either as Chairman or any other position that presents itself.

Elder Olu Arulogun

One time secretary to Ejigbo Local Council Elder Olu Arulogu has not yet jettisoned the idea of becoming Chairman of Ejigbo much sooner than later. More meetings upon meetings still takes place around him regularly to actualise this dream. SA few weeks ago, Arulogun took over Ejigbo with fliers, posters and banners promising a new dawn..new hope and new vision,

He later also served as Councilor of Ifoshi ward and became leader of Ejigbo LCDA House. Taju is said to have an eye on something.

Adewale Akinlusi

He has always been very passionate about development at grass roots level and would love to actualise this passion if he gets at the top of local government administration as Chairman. Akinlusi, a maritime specialist is contesting for the PDP and hopes for the ticket of his party.

Akinlusi tells every one that he is on a rescue mission for Ejigbo which according to him has been in coma under the hands of APC

.

Rev. Augustine Afolabi  Ojo

The son of renowned religious leader Late Bishop Aduragbemi Ojo of Mounts of Salvation Apostolic Church( Mosac) is also gearing up to become Chairman of Ejigbo under PDP.

Horror...Church ushers in bloody fight, land in court, head to Kirikiri....For sagging trousers

Members of a renowned Pentecostal church in Lagos  will not forget in a hurry,  the recent very bloody fight by two ushers who later landed in Kirikiri after being charged to court by the police.

The ushers of  the church situated at the Aswani Layout of Isolo Lagos had gone into  a free- for all fight,  tore themselves to shreds and landed in Police station from where they were remanded in Kirikiri Prison for causing a breach of the peace  and occasioning bodily harm  amongst other offences.

Investigation revealed that the free for all fight was sparked off by the mode of dressing of some members of the church which was at variance with church rules.

Eye witnesses informed ECD that two church members arrived the church that Sunday morning in sagged trousers against the rule of the Pastor in charge and were prevented from entering the church by the ushers. An argument had ensued which later resulted in bloody fisticuffs.

Said the source, the Police came and took every one to their cell from where the matter was taken to court.

When the matter was called up the magistrate remanded the warriors in prison custody.

Lagos big boy dies hours after threatening to kill someone

An Igbo big boy and socialite living around the Bucknor Area of Ejigbo   has died after he had threatened and boasted about using his fist to kill someone and hour earlier.

The socialite, better known as Biggie or Akpu obi by his acolytes was said to be a major player at the famous Ladipo auto spare parts market before his sudden and mysterious death happened.

According to those who saw the deceased in the day, hours before his death  he was hale and hearty and was invited by one of his relatives to a fight scenario. He was allegedly expected to take care of those who insulted his relative.

Said the source, when Biggie arrived with his gang, he was stopped by the Police who waded into the action  and made peace.

However it was not up to few hours after the gang had been dispersed that Biggie made frantic calls to the relative he had come to rescue talking about something happening to his heart.

“He said it was like some people pounding foofoo in his heart” said a source.

It was then that all roads led to his house for rescue. He was said to have been found unconscious and was taken to hospital where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival leaving the entire Ladipo market and his neighbourhood speechless.ed

His body has since been taken home to Anambra state and buried with those who called him to come and fight regretting his death forever.

JEZEBEL Housewife locks up hubby in toilet, sprays him with insecticide for hours *Only God saved me but I have forgiven her…Hubby

A Lagos based house wife whom many love to call Jezebel of our time has allowed anger to get a better part of her by allowing her to be used as an instrument of the devil.

The house wife (names withheld)in anger had her husband locked up in the toilet where she finished three cans of insecticides on him in several hours before he was able to burst the ceiling to fly out unconscious.

Doctors say he survived by a hair’s breathe when he got to the hospital.

Eye witnesses who saw the evil act when it happened around the Ailegun road neighbourhood of Ejigbo Lagos tell of how people were hearing noise in the toilet and wondering what must have gone amiss with the husband and wife to whom quarrels were regular past time. It was not until the man jumped out through the roof of the toilet that people realised that what ever it was must have been serious.

Eye witnesses who spoke to ECD described the incident as bizarre and shocking.

Said a mother of three who witnessed it all, “ I was riding on a commercial motor bike when we stumbled upon a scene. it all happened on one of those streets around Ailegun, Ejigbo, Lagos .The bike man who was carrying me stopped at the front of the house when he saw a gathering of a crowd of people”

The eye witness said she saw a man who was being poured with cold water as if he has fainted. I saw him being driven to nearby hospital. I also heard that the woman sprayed her hubby with insecticide. The crowd were thanking God for his survival as the woman cried uncontrollably.

The good thing about the story is that the man has forgiven his wife and they did not take time to pack out of the neighbourhood.
