Nitabai, Jonathan’s uncle, narrates his 17 days ordeal in kidnappers’ den

Inengite Nitabai, the 70-year-old uncle of President Goodluck Jonathan, Thursday narrated his ordeal in the hands of kidnappers to journalists in Bayelsa. Mr. Nitabai, who described his experience as “traumatic,” said he was beaten with a gun butt and kicked on the floor by his abductors.

The septuagenarian, who was also Mr. Jonathan’s foster father, was abducted by about 10 gunmen at his home in Otuoke on February 23.

He said the armed men tied his wrists, blind folded him and tortured him in order to make him convince the President and other family members to pay up the ransom demanded.

“I thank God for keeping me alive. I was made to sleep on the bare floor and fed with garri and red oil for three weeks in the bush. I was tortured and beaten with guns and kicked. When I was young, there was no such thing as kidnapping; I don’t know why it must be me,” Mr. Nitabai said.

The Bayelsa State Police Commissioner, Hilary Opara, while presenting Mr. Nitabai to journalists, said the anti-kidnapping squad of the command led by one Chris Nwogwu secured the release of the president’s uncle.

According to the Police Commissioner, the gunmen abandoned their victim at Ogboma, off Odioma in Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa. Mr. Nitabai was later found by the squad and brought to the state police command in Yenagoa for debriefing.

Mr. Opara said the police applied utmost professionalism in the way they carried out the operation that led to Mr. Nitabai’s freedom. He said no ransom was paid to the kidnappers and arrests would be made.

He thanked the family of the victim for cooperating with and believing in the police. He disclosed that Mr. Nitabai’s family, especially his wife, was in touch with the police throughout the period and heeded advice from the police that no ransom should be paid to the kidnappers.

Court Sentences 3 To Death In Ekiti For Robbery, Murder, Rape

An Ado-Ekiti High Court on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti sentenced three accused persons to death by hanging for robbery, murder and rape.

The judge, Justice Olusegun Ogunyemi, gave the verdict at the conclusion of trial.

The convicts are Kolade Fowosere, a medical student; Blessing Owhorisi, also a student and Ojo Ogundare, a vulcanizer operating in Ado-Ekiti.

Delivering his judgment, Ogunyemi said the evidence before the court was direct and unequivocal.

He said that the accused were convicted based on the confessional statements they made during investigation.

Ogunyemi said he found them guilty as charged, saying “the three accused persons should be hanged till life is out of them.”

The prosecuting State Counsel, Mr Gbenga Daramola, said the accused committed the offence on July 4, 2011 at Omisanjana quarters in Ado-Ekiti.

According to him, the offence contravens Section 319, 1 (2) (a) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provision) Act, cap RII, Vol. 14, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2014.

Daramola called seven witnesses to prove his case, and the defence counsel, Mr Chris Omokhafe, called four witnesses.

The state counsel urged the court to resolve the case in favour of the State, based on the confessional statements made by the convicts in the course of investigation.

He said the accused were said to have robbed at Ido-Ekiti, Omisanjana and Moferere in Ado-Ekiti.

He told the court that they also killed a police officer, Olusegun Olufowobi, popularly called “of London”, during their operation at Moferere on July 20, 2011.

He said that the accused also raped a lady in the course of their operation.

The defence counsel, however, urged the court to resolve all doubts in the prosecution witnesses in favour of his clients.

He said the evidences given by the prosecution were mere hearsay, and that his clients should be discharged and acquitted.

So Horrible: Man Bites Off His Wife’s Ear

 An English man, Damian Chwedczuk, bit off his wife’s ear, and it became the culmination of the 3 terrible years of domestic abuse during which he emptied her dead mother’s ashes over the floor before vacuuming them up.
When the terrified aged woman, Debbie, finally decided to end it all and told the 32-year-old thug that she was leaving him, Chwedczuk was angered and launched his most brutal attack.
He punched her, kicked her in the back and poked her eyes before ripping her right ear off with his teeth.
Debbie narrated:
“Then he actually bit my ear and I just saw part of it lying on the floor.”
Luckily, the cruel husband was arrested soon after the attack and now is successfully serving four years and 11 months behind bars.
After Debbie had undergone several plastic surgeries and therapy, she understood the importance of speaking out, urging other victims of domestic violence to do the same thing.
