Man, 36, Electrocuted as Fire Guts 20 Shops in Lagos


Goods worth several millions of naira were yesterday destroyed by fire which gutted a market at the Low Cost Housing Estate, Oke-Afa, in Ejigbo Local Council Developmental Area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that 20 shops were affected by the fire suspected to have been caused by power upsurge.
This came as tragedy struck, weekend, in Ikorodu area of Lagos State following the electrocution of a man by a high tension wire that snapped.
It was learnt that an alarm was raised by a night guard, who noticed smoke billowing from one of the shops moments after power was restored, following which youths in the area battled to contain the situation.
But their efforts were in vain as the fire spread to other shops, where power generating sets were kept.
The youths, it was gathered, forced  some of the shops  open and took the goods to safer place. Some  shop owners, who were contacted reportedly  rushed to the scene to salvage some of their wares. While some of them succeeded, many others did not.
When we visited the scene at 3 p.m., yesterday, the affected shop owners were seen lamenting their  loses.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Fire Service Director, Mr Rasaq Fadipe, said when news of the incident reached them, two trucks from Isolo and Ikotun fire stations were drafted to the scene to put out the fire, adding that no life was lost.
Electrocution
The deceased identified as Ahamed Abas, was reportedly in the company of an undisclosed friend inside a commercial bus at 5.45a.m., Saturday.
On reaching Disu Ajegbe Street, the duo reportedly saw a high tension  wire which snapped from a pole and resulted in a fire.
The fire, according to the Lagos State Fire Service Director, Rasaq     Fadipe, was spreading towards an auto parts shop.
Fadipe said an eye witness narrated that Abas  alighted from the commercial bus and attempted to throw the wire away from the auto parts shops, with his bare hand, only to be electrocuted.

Drunk Driver Crashes on Rooftop in Lagos



An ostensibly drunk driver careered off the Akerele Street in Oworonshoki area of Lagos, western Nigeria Sunday night and landed on the roof of two buildings located in a valley close to the road.
The accident, which happened around 8.30pm, has attracted the attention of hundreds of passers-by, résidents and Church worshippers in the built up area who throng to the place to catch a glimpse of the upturned car.
The car has the Lagos registration number LND 744 CD. The driver was not identified.
This morning, some of the residents said no vehicle had ever plunged into the valley where the zinc-roofed houses are built.
A woman who witnessed the accident when it happened said that the lone occupant of the vehicle — which landed on the roof of the two buildings– was dragged out of the car, drunk.
“He was dead drunk when some guys managed to pull him out of the car. His legs were wobbling,” she said.
Some bottles of beer that flung out of the upturned car were seen this morning on the roof of one of the houses over which it crashed.

Man Slaughters Niece for Ritual in Imo State



Thirty five-year old Boniface Ohakwe is now cooling his heels in police custody for allegedly killing his 12-year old niece, Miss Kelechi Ohakwe, for ritual intents.
Iinvestigations revealed that until her untimely death, late Kelechi was a student of Sir Enoch Anyanwu Memorial Convent, Umuariam, Obowo local council area of Imo State.
Confirming the ugly incident to us when they besieged the Umuosochie, Obowo country home of the bereaved family, Kelechi’s father, Mr. Alex Ohakwe, said he lacked words to amply describe what the entire family was passing through.
“I am aware that Kelechi was very fond of his uncle and was ever ready to run errands for him before this incident. It is baffling that it was the same man my daughter loved and helped that ended up killing her for supposed ritual purposes”, the aggrieved man lamented.
Recalling what happened on the ill-fated day, Mr. Ohakwe said: “My children moved into my brother’s room as soon as public power supply was restored. I was told that he started smoking midway into the film he was rolling for the children”.
Continuing, Ohakwe recalled that not being comfortable with the smoke, my son and daughter left the room, while Kelechi who was used to her uncle’s behaviour remained behind.
My brother then locked his door after the two children left his room. The wailing and shouting for help, attracted the attention of my wife and other members of the family and they rushed to the scene”, Ohakwe recounted with grief.
Continuing, Ohakwe said his brother carefully wrapped the slain Kelechi with his bed sheet and started chasing his wife with a cutlass but was overpowered.
Answering another question, Ohakwe said the matter was not only reported to the police but that the assailant was equally handed over to law enforcement agents.
Efforts to get police confirmation of the incident ailed as the Police Public Elations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, did not pick the calls put across to him or returned any, as at the time of going to press.

Students Riot At Ajasin University Over Killer Hit-and-Run Driver



A riot broke out in the early hours of today at Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba Akoko (AAUA) in Ondo State after a driver hit and killed a student of the institution.



The students were incensed on learning that a reckless and impatient driver, knocked down, Segun Adesuyan, a 300 level Microbiology student and fled the scene, leaving the deceased in a pool of blood.

Eyewitnesses said the culprit was driving a mini bus popularly called 'Agolo' when the tragic incident happened at the Ajax junction close to the school.



A student told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that the deceased student was rushing to a morning lecture when he fell prey to the hit-and-run driver.

As the sad news filtered through the campus, some students, especially those who knew the victim, gathered at the scene of his death to stage a protest. The students barricaded the roads leading to the main gate of the campus and chanted angry war songs.

The irate students demanded that residents of the community where the accident occurred should immediately identify the hit-and-run driver.

The students also blocked the gate to the university, disallowing passage to motorists.

SaharaReporters learned that some police officers were drafted to the scene from Ikare and Akungba Akoko Divisions to guard against any outbreak of violence in the town.



The heavily armed police officers shot sporadically into the air to scare away the rioting students. Six of the demonstrating students fainted when the police officers fired canisters of teargas at them, creating a tense situation.

The body of the deceased student has been deposited at Ikare Akoko Hospital morgue. A police source said the late student’s parents had been notified of the tragic event and were expected to arrive soon.



Our correspondent reported that all lectures and administrative activities at the institution had been suspended for today.

Meanwhile, the executive members of the Students Union Government have issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the community to produce the driver, believed to be from the immediate community where the accident occurred. Some students threatened that violence would erupt if the community failed to identify and hand over the reckless driver.

No one and we are so sure everyone agrees, would dispute the fact that Toyin Saraki is one of the constant and most consistent style icons in Nigeria. We have never seen her carry a foot wrong, ever simple, elegant, on point and very distinguished looking. Background and upbringing surely does add so much to one.

The style icon and unrepentant philanthropist, who is the founder and president of 'The Wellbeing Foundation Africa' was in London recently to attend the 'Portrait of Africa Event for Charity. The gorgeous wife of the former Governor of Kwara State was one of the distinguished guests that was invited to the event.

Another of the distinguished guests was Sir Bob Geldof, a popular musician, sometime actor, political activist and founder of Band Aid, a charity organisation helping to fight against poverty in Africa. Also there were Kate Woods-Marketing Director of the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation (OOF) & Anne Welsh-Vice Chairperson of the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation.

They were at Bonhams, a privately owned British auction house, in fact one of the oldest and largest auctioneers of fine arts and antiques to view some artworks and raise funds for charity through auction.
