kidnap suspect, Chukwudumeme Ohamadike, a.k.a. Evans, would be charged to court today after over three months in police detention.
The Lagos State police command spokesman, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, yesterday told The Guardian that the most wanted kidnap suspect would be arraigned at the Ikeja High Court, Lagos today. He said: “Evans would be arraigned in court Wednesday morning at the Ikeja High Court.”
According to a police source at the high command in Abuja, investigations into crimes committed by Evans has been concluded before the expiration of the 90 days remand order granted by the Federal High Court.
“Today’s case is one of the 14 cases Evans and five of his gang members who participated in Mr. Donatus Dunu’s kidnapping will be arraigned. The remaining 13 cases relating to 13 more victims have not been arraigned yet. They will come up on subsequent dates by the respective courts in Lagos and Edo states,” he said.
Detectives attached to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT) had arrested the dreaded suspected kidnapper few months ago in his mansion at Magodo estate, Lagos. Magodo is one of the highbrow estates where prominent Nigerians and foreign businessmen reside.
It was gathered that the suspect was allegedly the brain behind most of the high-profile kidnap cases across the country and had been on the police wanted list for years.
A senior police source had described Evans as ‘the most brilliant and notorious high-profile kidnapper in the history of Nigeria.’ The source added that Evans and his gang have reportedly collected billions of naira as ransom over the last seven years from victims.
However, a Lagos Division of the Federal High Court yesterday fixed September 5 to hear arguments from counsel on why he should not deliver judgment on the fundamental rights application filed by Evans.
Justice Abdulaziz Anka, who had earlier fixed yesterday for judgment, said he would not go ahead when there are pending applications before him.
“The question is, can I still go ahead when there are still motions before me and the fact that the applicant refused service?” Anka asked.
The judge had adjourned on August 16 to deliver a judgment on the fundamental rights application filed by Onwuamadike. The first and second respondents, the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force, did not send a legal representative throughout the hearing, but the Commissioner of Police in Lagos and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, the third and fourth respondents, were represented by lawyers, who argued that their colleagues were not served the court process.

Oil marketers cry out over $2b debts
Oil marketers are set to send thousands of workers away – unless the Federal Government pays its debts.
The debts are owed on importation of petroleum products, accrued interest on loans from banks and exchange rate differential.
Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association (DAPPMA) and Independent Petroleum Products Importers (IPPIs), in a joint communiqué yesterday after a meeting in Lagos, said many marketers and oil companies were owing workers at least eight months salaries because the Federal Government failed to pay the huge debts owed since 2015.
The communique, signed by their legal adviser, Patrick Etim, states that:
the hope that the debt will be paid in July, after Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s intervention appears to be dashed;
banks are threatening to put tank farms under receivership;
senior government officials and the leadership of the oil dealers have reconciled the figures and despite the government’s promise to pay, nothing has been done.
“The condition of the contract being that the government shall pay the difference between the landing cost of the petrol and the selling price of petrol (as fixed by government) provided that the landing cost is higher than the selling price.
“The government approved the landing cost, which fluctuated as it depended mainly on the international price of petrol and exchange rate of naira/dollar,” the marketers said, adding:
“A key term of the government’s contract with marketers is that the under-recovery payments shall be paid to marketers within 45 days of submission of documents evidencing discharge of petrol cargo and trucking out from storage.
“ It was also agreed that after 45 days, the government shall pay the interest charges on the loans taken by the marketers to finance the importation of cargoes of petrol.”
The marketers said the problem of the banks is compounded by the fact that they provided billions of dollars to finance the importation of cargoes of petrol.
The marketers said they opened Letters of Credit at approximate exchange rate of N197/$1 while petrol cargoes were supplied and sold at prices approved by the government and the repayment was calculated using the above exchange rate.
The foreign exchange differentials, they said, arose as a result of the initial devaluation of the naira (by the last administration) from the initial N165/$1.
The communique said: “The interest payable due to delayed reimbursement also by the the past administration, both of which the Federal Government had approved for payment to marketers, have not been fully settled by the appropriate Federal Government agencies.
“It was only in the first quarter of 2017 that the banks were able to liquidate the Letters of Credit from 2014/ 2015 at the N360/$1 as against the N176- N195/$1 at the time the LCs were opened because of lack of foreign exchange from the government, leaving their accounts with the huge differential.
“The recent further devaluation of the naira from N195 to N305 and later to over N365 to $1, while the Federal Government agencies based their reimbursement calculation on N197 to $1, left petroleum marketers within our association with additional debt burden in excess of N600bn. This is in addition to the over N250bn arrears owed.
“The downstream sector as a whole, is now saddled with a debt burden of over N850bn, which keeps rising because the banks are still charging interest until the total debt is fully liquidated.
“Commercial banks, the original and actual owners of these funds, are already hard hit by marketers’ inability to return these funds within the ‘contract tenure of 45 days’ and have, in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s prudential guidelines, the account of the marketers are now classified ‘non-performing’ accounts in all the banks. In addition, properties provided by marketers as securities for these funds are in the process of being auctioned.
“We have indeed made several spirited efforts to get the government agencies involved to pay up fully, adhering to the principle of ‘full restitution’ to all participants in the then PMS import scheme but the major challenge on the economy has impeded complete success, hence we, once more, are making a direct appeal for the intervention of Mr. President.”
The marketers went on: “The banks are worried that financing new petrol imports when outstanding loans, interests and charges have not been paid will be foolish especially when it is clear that the imports will represent an unmitigated loss to the importers based on the landing costs.”
The oil marketers are unable to transact new business with banks because their accounts have been classified as non-performing.
The effect of this is that the operations of the marketers have been halted.
“There is a need for President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to keep improving governance, especially by correcting wrongs of previous governments and making government responsible to its contracts and responsibilities,” the marketers said.
They urged the government not to allow its inactions in handling the critical issues facing banks, airlines, manufacturers, electricity companies and other businesses expose consumers to suffering.
The marketers expressed their support for Federal Government’s plan to remove fuel subsidy and urged the government to deregulate the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry to save the economy from collapse.

Mark Zuckerberg And Wife Welcomes Second Daughter
Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, welcomed their second daughter — August — to the world on Monday with a post on the leading social network.
As they did with after the birth of their first daughter, Maxima, in late 2015, the couple wrote the girl a letter, but this one spoke of reveling in the wonder of childhood instead of visions of a better world on the horizon.
“You only get to be a child once, so don’t spend it worrying too much about the future,” said the letter signed by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan.
“You’ve got us for that, and we’ll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.”
A Zuckerberg Chan Initiative established by the couple has pledged billions of dollars to improving life for their children’s generation with goals such as eliminating disease.
The Facebook co-founder is among billionaires who have vowed to donate most of their wealth to charitable causes.
“With all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen,” the couple wrote, referring back to a letter written to their first daughter after her birth.
“But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That’s why it’s important to make time to go outside and play.”

Our moans filled the room as the satin touch of her tight Pu.$$y enveloped my C@.ck.
The man in the opposite flat to mine was one of the rudest men I had ever met. He always found a reason to argue and fight.
We literally had a long-standing feud for years. He would fight about the building’s car park, about my guests and often times, he would accuse me of the silliest things such as messing with their generator. When I moved in, his daughter was barely 15 but in the past four years, that little lady has been taking after her rude father. Whenever we argued, she would say something insulting. Mostly, her insults centred on the fact that I was a bachelor because she would call me a common skirt-chaser and a good-for-nothing single man. Whenever I talked back to her, her father would intervene, making things so much worse.
One afternoon, I was returning from work when I met his daughter, Lara, standing outside her door. She sent dirty looks my way when she saw me.
“What is your problem now?” I asked her, contempt clear in my voice.
“Can’t you mind your business? Must you put your mouth in things that do not concern you? Just because you talk to those your little girlfriends anyhow does not mean you can talk to me that way…” she began ranting.
I felt my anger build as I watched the little bitch mouth off. My eyes scanned her face and went down her body. She was wearing a sleeveless blouse and seemed to not be wearing a bra underneath. As she raged on, her tiny B@.0bs began to jiggle, distracting me.
“What are you looking at, you man-whore?!” she asked, noticing my eyes on hers. I was still angry but now I felt aroused. I took two steps, landed in front of her, held her by the waist and kissed her. She kissed me back hungrily, proving a theory I had always had which was that she attacked my bachelorhood because she was jealous of the girls I brought home.
I felt my C@.ck come to life in her presence. I could feel the lust rising within me as we continued to kiss. She tried to pull away at first, but after her initial impulse, she leant into the kiss, throwing her arms around my neck and pulling my lips down to hers.
I felt her tongue against my lips and opened my mouth to let her in. My hands cupped her sweet little ass as passion swelled in us both. I pinned her to the wall as I reached for my keys. Her hands danced across my back. I managed to get my door open and we stepped inside.
My rapidly hardening C@.ck strained against my jeans as I felt her hand at my crotch. I kicked the door closed behind me after we entered. We stumbled our way to the bedroom, her hands darting under my shirt, running across my chest.
Our kiss broke as she pulled my shirt over my head. As I pulled off her top and kicked off my shoes, I pushed her and she fell back onto my bed. She quickly undid her bra and let her bre@.$ts fall free. Her hands went to the fastenings of my jeans as I approached. She tugged them down and slipped a hand up through the bottom of my boxers. Her eyes were fixed on the tent formed by my hard C@.ck.
I moaned as she wrapped her hand around my shaft. She stroked it gently as she brought her other hand up to my waistband. My shorts joined my jeans on the floor as I climbed on top of her. My hands worked the button on her jeans, then the zipper. I yanked both jeans and panties down to her knees in one smooth move and she kicked them off. Lust filled the room, as the temperature seemed to jump. She lay on her back with her legs in the air. She purred as I slid my hands down her long, bare thigh. I gently made my way between my legs until I began to tease her clit with my finger before running it down the length of her slit. I was surprised at the wet heat of her already moist Pu.$$y. My finger slid inside her and she gasped.]
“Yes… oh yes,” she whispered. “F**.Ck me… please F**.Ck me.” Impatient now, I pushed her legs back and up and moved to put my shaft against her warmth. I ran the head up and down, her moans driving me crazy with passion. Finally, I could take it no longer and I pushed inside. Our moans filled the room as the satin touch of her tight Pu.$$y enveloped my C@.ck. I pushed in and out slowly, lubricating my shaft. I slipped into her to the balls and held myself there.
She spread her legs wide, wrapping them around me as I leant into her. I began to pump slowly as her hands moved across my chest, exploring. We kissed hard, all lust and fire. I was lost in the moment, thrusting into her tight Pu.$$y with long, slow strokes as she begged me to give it to her harder and faster. I suckled at her N!.ppls as we F**.Cked, our rhythm matching, our pace quickening. I could hear unintelligible whispers mixed with moans of pleasure as our bodies gave in to the frustration and ire.
I accelerated my thrusts, pounding into her now. The wet slapping sound of flesh against flesh filled the air as our bodies slammed together in a fury of lust and rage.
“Oooooohh,” she cried as I felt her body shiver. Head thrown back in ecstasy, eyes closed, her org@.$m washed over her. Her Pu.$$y squeezed at my shaft, begging me to release. But I resisted.
I slowed my pace to ward off the release. She wriggled in pleasure at my thrusts. I slipped a hand between our bodies and my fingers found her clit. I ran light circles around it with a finger, and her back arched as pleasure tore through her. As I flicked lightly, my thrusts growing faster yet again. I felt her tense and knew she was on the edge. I slammed into her, bodies slapping, and she came. She cried out once more as she shook, her muscles tightening, her Pu.$$y clamping down on my C@.ck. I could feel my org@.$m coming on and I buried myself inside her as my C@.ck throbbed, spewing semen deep inside her waiting cunt.
I collapsed on top of her, our bodies heaving as we tried to catch our breath. I rested my head on her bre@.$ts, knowing that I would play this moment again and again in my head the next time my neighbour chooses to become an asshole.
lol.
Everton agree £45m deal for Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson
The Iceland international is expected on Merseyside on Tuesday evening and will undergo a medical on Wednesday.
Ronald Koeman has been determined to sign the 27-year-old all summer and, just last week ahead of the Premier League’s opening weekend, the Dutch boss revealed the deal was “close”.
Sigurdsson missed Swansea’s 0-0 draw at Southampton, which led to criticism of the transfer deadline from the club’s own manager Paul Clement after he was forced to leave him out.
Both Everton and Leicester City saw £40m offers rejected earlier this summer but the former has continued to pursue a move despite being told by the Swans he could cost as much as £50m.
As the saga rumbled on in pre-season, Sigurdsson missed Swansea’s tour of the United States because he was “not in the right frame of mind”, according to the Welsh club.
Sigurdsson joined Swansea from Tottenham Hotspur in a £6.8m deal in 2014 and he has scored 29 goals in over 100 appearances as the Swans have battled to stay in the Premier League.
Ahead of losing perhaps his best performer last season, Swans boss Clement said he would be relieved to see changes made to the transfer deadline –
Clement said: “What would be a better situation would be if the transfer window closed before the start of the season.
I don’t really understand why it goes to the end of August. I know there’s talks about that changing in future. And that’s my opinion that it should do.”
Tged.
Thanks.
Arsene Wenger hopes Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sign new Arsenal deals
Arsene Wenger continues to stress Alexis Sanchez will remain at Arsenal beyond this summer and hopes he, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mesut Ozil all sign new contracts.
Sanchez has just 12 months left on his Arsenal contract, but manager Wenger has been adamant the club have made a decision not to sell the 28-year-old and will stick to that beyond the deadline.
Ozil and Chamberlain are also inside the last 12 months of their contracts and have been involved in talks over extensions, but Chamberlain is also understood to be a target for Chelsea in the final weeks of the window.
Ahead of Wenger’s pre-match press conference on Wednesday, in which Arsenal say he will give an update on Sanchez, the Frenchman told Bein Sports: “Of course (I stand by the fact Sanchez won’t leave).
“It’s difficult to say (players are getting) ‘power back’. I just think it looks unusual to the media sometimes that clubs want contracts to be respected. For me, it looks logical so I am amazed that you are amazed because it looks normal.
“If I sign a contract, I respect it. Of course if a club releases me it’s normal that I can go somewhere else. I know when I signed for two years at Arsenal, it’s a contract and I have to respect it.
Wenger said: “I have enough problems not to make an assessment on Chelsea’s problems. This is a little bit of a special situation when you look from outside, it’s a little bit of a different situation.
“We always wanted to keep Sanchez and we always hope, even now, that we can extend the contracts of Sanchez, Chamberlain, Ozil.”
Thanks.
