Another FESTAC robbery

By
The Police high command weekend described as false report credited to it that their call on the Navy and Air Force personnel for assistance during last Tuesday’s bank robbery in Festac Town was ignored.
Nigerian-PoliceThis is just as it was disclosed that men of OP MESSA , a Military outfit were drafted to the scene of robbery that fateful day.
Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Onikan, comprising Lagos and Ogun states commands, Bala Hassan, said he never apportioned blame to any security agency, when he visited the scene of robbery in the company of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, last Thursday.
Describing the report as one without an iota of truth in a statement signed by the zonal Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Adebowale Lawal, a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, he said; “It is a fact that the AIG visited the scene accompanied by some senior police officers, but he was the only person that granted interview and he did not at any point in time apportion blame to any security agency(ies).
As a matter of fact, the AIG appreciates the existing synergy between the Police and other security agencies. This explains why upon assumption of office, he paid courtesy visits to heads of the Army, Airforce and Navy to seek their cooperation and sustenance of the existing concerted collaborative efforts in fighting crime in his command.”
On his part, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni also described the report as one aimed at causing tension where there was none. He dared anyone to mention the policeman that apportioned the blame to the Navy and Airforce.
He revealed that information at his disposal showed that operatives of OP MESSA were on ground to assist the police on the day of the robbery incident, wandering why anyone would attribute such report on the Police.
On the day of the robbery incident, he said that the AIG Zone 2 and himself were in Abuja for a conference, hence the need to visit the scene on arrival.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
