FRANK LAMPARD OF MAN-CITY, SCORES AGAINST FORMER CLUB CHELSEA, HUMILIATING THEM

Frank Lampard has influenced many a title race down the years, but usually tipping it in the favour of Chelsea.

Could though, his late equaliser – and perhaps ultimately his only goal – for Manchester City have kept alive a Premier League title race that looked to have tipped substantially in Chelsea’s favour?

Despite the early forays of Southampton and Aston Villa to the upper reaches of the table the consensus pick (apologies Arsenal fans) is that the 2014/15 race would be played out between City and Chelsea.

For City then to have been left eight points adrift just five games into the season would have presented them with a huge challenge to overcome.

Granted, the season is very much in its infancy but this is a Chelsea side with added potency and one, under Jose Mourinho, not susceptible to the level of points dropping needed for sides to overcome such margins.

Sport though has a wonderfully unique way of producing the sort of moments that can leave you scratching your head and wondering whether such scripted moments would even be plausible if you were to pitch them as the plot of a movie

CRIME: HERBALIST WHO BURIES Ex-CUSTOM OFFICER, HER DAUGHTER ALIVE, PLEADS FOR MERCY, SAYS”IT WAS DEVILS HAND WORK”, WHILE VICTIMS’ FAMILY INSISTS ON JUSTICE

The devil did it! ■ Herbalist, who buries ex-Customs officer, her daughter alive, pleads for mercy

“The God whom I serve will prove to you that I am innocent. Ange­la brought the car to my house to assist her to sell it. She left the house with her daughter to bring the documents and never returned. If you like, drag me from one police station to the oth­er, the truth will surely set me free. I repeat, I am innocent.”

That was the plea of inno­cence on the first day of the interrogation of a 65-year-old herbalist, Alhaji Olatunji Azeez, who after spending six days in police detention, confessed that he buried alive a retired Customs officer and her 10-year-old daughter in one of the rooms in his house.

Saturday Sun correspondent incidentally witnessed the short drama that played out as soon as Alhaji Olatunji, who was well dressed and had a good command of English, stepped into the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) office at the Lagos police command, Ikeja on the day of his arrest, June 19. Out of pity, she solicited that the man be set free to avoid pun­ishing an innocent man. Not deterred by the wave of emotions displayed by Olatunji, the former Lagos Police Commissioner now AIG Umaru Manko ordered that the suspect should be detained and further interrogated.

Six days after his stay in the custody of SARS, Olatunji, the supposed innocent man took police detectives to his personal house in Ire Akari Crescent, Ajuwon Akute, Ogun State where the decomposing bodies of Mrs. Angela Kerry, a 64-year-old retired Customs officer and her daughter, 10-year-old daughter, Obi­aguluman, were found in a well dug in a room inside the suspect’s house.

He confessed to have singlehandedly planned and executed the crime in the hope that his secret will be covered for life. Al­though he claimed that he committed the crime in self-defence, the late Angela’s family insists that their sister was killed over a business deal. They alleged that Alhaji Olatunji, a herbal doc­tor, has other accomplices who are still at large.

His arrest

The victims got missing on May 10 after which the family spent three weeks searching for them before eventually reporting to the po­lice on June 13. In the course of initial inves­tigations, the family realised that Angela’s car, a Honda Accord, had a tracking device. The company was contacted and the car tracked down to a car stand in Abule Egba with the aid of the police at Oko Oba police station, Agege where the incident was first reported. The car dealer told the police that it was the herbalist that brought the car to his stand to assist him to sell it. Arrested, the herbalist chose his words very well. He told detectives that the late An­gela and her daughter brought the car to his of­fice requesting that he should help her to sell it off. He insisted that he does not know the whereabouts of Angela and her daughter.

Not satisfied with the outcome of the inves­tigation, the matter was transferred to SARS for further investigation. Still confident that his story will exonerate him, Alhaji Olatunji main­tained his earlier position.

Cracked

For five days, despite all kinds of rigorous interrogations he was subjected to, Olatunji maintained that he was innocent. Not deterred by his tears and call on the almighty God to de­liver him from what he described as injustice, Head of the SARS team, Abba Kyari insisted that the suspect’s confession was not coherent, hence the need for further interrogation.

On the sixth day, he cracked. Olatunji ad­mitted that he knew where the missing Angela and her daughter were and was ready to take the police to them in Ijebu Ode. He lied again that he locked them up in a room and ran back to Lagos. Excited to end it all, detectives were detailed to travel the next day and rescue the victims dead or alive. The next day, Olatunji was reluctant to join the team of policemen shouting that he was wanted to see SP Kyari before they depart. It was then that he made up his mind to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

He allegedly confessed that he buried both mother and daughter in a room in his com­pound. Determined to get to the root of the matter, a team of policemen were dispatched to his house at Agege.

Pre-meditated murder

On getting to his house, Alhaji Olatunji re­quested that they should move over to the boys’ quarters. In one of the rooms, he pointed to a spot on the floor and asked them to dig.

“We felt he was still lying and had planned to waste our time or plan a possible escape. He kept in­sisting, it was then through a closer conserva­tion that we realised that a portion of the floor was recently plastered. We started digging and after seven feet down, we did not see anything. Everyone was angry because one would won­der how the old man managed to dig a grave deeper than six feet alone. He told us that it was a deep well. Professional diggers who assisted him to dig the well were called in.”

At about eight feet down, a travelling bag, documents, phones and clothes were recov­ered. The contents of the bag belonged to the late Angela. Few metres down, the decaying body of little Obiaguluman was found. He still insisted that they should continue digging as the body of the late Angela was still under­ground. She was later found decaying mixed with water and sand.

Investigation revealed that Olatunji hired the services of professional well diggers. He asked them to dig a well in his room, and also insisted that the sand be kept closer to the well. He thereafter spread a mat and white cloth on the well to cover the trap.

SUICIDAL: MAN HANGED HIMSELF IN AYEDE EKITI OVER POVERTY AFTER 2 FAILED ATTEMPS

A suicidal orphan in his early 30s has ended his own life. The man simply identified as Mundiu hanged himself on Friday in Ayede Ekiti, Oye LGA of Ekiti state. Hear what area residents told Saturday Sun:

“He used to complain about the fact that he was very poor and living a wretched life, that he wasn’t making money to take care of himself.

Two weeks ago, we learnt that he was dead but just three days ago, we sighted him in the community. Yesterday (Thursday), people heard him saying that by today (Friday) the people of Ayede community would witness an amazing drama.

No one really read any meaning to what he was saying. We didn’t know that he was referring to this suicidal action”,“It was past 12 midnight this morning, a deaf neighbour of the deceased, who we call Taiwo, raised the alarm that he saw something strange and alerted others to come and see it.

BUILDING COLLAPSE: SCOAN’S DEATH TOLL REPORTEDLY HIT 85, 16 STILL MISSING AS GHANAIAN PASTOR CLAIMS T.B JOSHUA USED THEM FOR SACRIFICE

  The death toll in Synagogue Church of All Nation's building collapsed on Friday September 12 has risen to 85, as disclosed by the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Mnguni. He told AFP that the number of South Africans that died in the building collapse has increased to 84 and that 265 South Africans survived the incident, while 16 are unaccounted for.

"The number has risen from 67 to 85, with more bodies discovered on Thursday, September 18th. The number of South Africans who were in the church might be higher, as we believe that some people organized the trip themselves without using travel agents.

There are 265 South African survivors. Initially, there were 96 injured South Africans, but now there are only 29 still in hospital, including a three-year-old," Mr. Mnguni said.

ATIKU ABUBAKAR: ONLY OLD AGE CAN END MY POLITICAL AMBITION(SEE FULL INTERVIEW)

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who is a stalwart of All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed his desire to vie for the presidential ticket of the APC despite the fact that General Muhammadu Buhari and the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, are also showing interest in the ticket. He met a group of journalists in Abuja where he spoke on a lot of issues. SENIOR CORRESPONDENT, ROTIMI AKINWUMI, was there. Excerpts…

Sir, come 24th of September, what should we be expecting as the preview of your declaration?

In terms of preview of the September 24 event, it is more of a media event. It is not a rally as such because we have a selected audience, because we really intend the media to carry the message we intend to give to Nigerians.

You have been an advocate of internal democracy. How would you compare APC to your former party, the PDP?

So far, the internal democracy we have practised in the APC is better than what is being done in PDP. Obviously, there is no doubt about that.  You can see that in the last few bye elections, we have gone through them in a transparent manner and in a democratic process in terms of nomination and others. I still believe that the APC holds a better future in terms of internal democracy and in terms of progressiveness of the country.

You are known to have always given the presidency a shot at every opportunity. You have not won once, aren’t you discouraged?

How can I be discouraged? You are asking me to give up on Nigeria. I don’t have another place to go. So why should I give up on Nigeria? That is what you are asking me to do. I will continue to contest until I no longer have the capacity or the strength.

MAY THEIR SOUL REST IN PEACE

FRIENDS AND FOES

12 years ago, I was waking up with friends and foes,

Living under fear, and no one the crown to bear

Who is the judge, and who would be the leader

Because we are in a jungle, looking for just a winner

See, there was a prized artifact with an ultimatum

The prized artifact I can’t tell for fact until the day comes.

Faces black and white, some brown, some even red

Feeding off same pots, with agendas on their minds which cannot be read

I prayed, I cried, I sang, I fought.

I begged my way, others, I bought

So, I define “friends”: Motherfuckers, who wouldn’t trample on you no matter what and try to stand by you at all cost.

And “foe”: assholes, who would trample on you no matter what and try to stand NOT beside you at all cost.
