Ex-bank chairman, Ifegwu’s alleged forgery suit for December 10

Justice Mohammed Yunusa of the Federal High Court,
Lagos would on December 10 hear the suit filed by the
former chairman of defunct Citizens International Bank
Limited, Lady Joyce Dike Udensi Ifegwu, praying the
court to determine whether the Police can investigate
an allegation of forgery of marriage certificate against
her for a second time.
According to her originating summons marked as FHC/
L/CS/1319/15, the former banker wants the court to
determine whether the Police is still entitled to
reinvestigate or investigate her, after men and officers
of the Nigerian Police Force in zone 2 command
headquarters, Onikan had concluded investigation of
the allegations previously.
Listed as respondents in the suit which was filed on
her behalf by the chambers of Bayo Osipitan and Co.
are Inspector General of Police, Commissioner of
Police, Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi and one Inspector
Justus Ogar.
The daughter of the applicant, Mrs Nnenna Enweliku,
nee Dike Udensi had written a petition against her
mother to the Assistant Inspector General of Police,
Zone two on January 27, 2014 alleging that her mother
was not legally married to her father and that the
marriage certificate she presented for the purpose of
getting letter of administration for the estate of their
late father, Lord Chief Dike Udensi Ifegwu was forged.
Dissatisfied with the outcome of that investigation by
zone two Police command, she wrote a second one to
the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Criminal
Investigation Department, Abuja detailing the manner
and nature of the forgery.
As a result, fresh investigation into the allegation was
launched by the Police, following which the applicant
filed the suit seeking to halt a possible arraignment by
the Police on the same matter.
Her application is supported by a 37 paragraph
affidavit where she swore that she was lawfully
married under the Marriage Act, Native Law and
Customs to the late Udensi Ifegwu until his death on
July 18, 2012.

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

I work for Lagos policeman, says suspected robber April 11, 2016

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
