  • Taxi Driver Allegedly Spends 7 Months In Prison For Demanding Fare From Policemen

    Taxi Driver Allegedly Spends 7 Months In Prison For Demanding Fare From Policemen

    On Wednesday, November 18, during the #EndSARS judicial panel in Ogun, a taxi driver identified as Mayowa Ayodele alleged that he was detained for seven months and 16 days by the police for asking policemen who had chartered his vehicle to pay for their fare.

    Ayodele made the allegation before the Ogun State Judicial Panel of Investigation, set up by the State Government to investigate complaints of victims of brutality and human right violations by security operatives.

    The middle-aged man who worked as a taxi driver in the Shagamu area of the state narrated that his vehicle was chartered on March 7, 2018, by four men putting on police uniform who he alleged locked him up for demanding money after the ride.

    “I took them from the Mowe area to Magboro and back to Shagamu. After the ride, I requested my money, which was N4500, but they refused to pay me. They said they were working for the government,” Ayodele told the panel.

    “Their Superior ordered them to lock me up”

    Ayodele said his vehicle was seized while he was locked up in a cell at the Motor Traffic Division of the Police in Shagamu, where he spent 16 days.

    Afterwards, he was charged for pipeline vandalism at the Federal High Court in Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.

    While the trial was on, he was remanded at the Oba prison, located in the state capital, Abeokuta, where he spent seven months.

    His counsel, Kayode Aderemi said his client was charged along with eight others for pipeline vandalism, but the case was eventually dismissed after seven months of the trial on the strength of “No case”

    “All nine of them were later acquitted,” Aderemi said.

    After his acquittal, the victim made efforts to recover his vehicle but he suffered more harassment.

    “When I got back to collect my car, I met another boss there at the Motor Traffic Division. He said I had the effrontery to come ask for my car, and he ordered them to lock me up again. I spent another four days there before my lawyer came to bail me.”

    He said he purchased the vehicle in instalment for a sum of N1,050,000 which he has not finished paying.

    Ayodele said he has been jobless since he returned from prison and prayed that the government help him recover his vehicle.

    “I want my vehicle back because that is what I use to feed my family. My wife has left me because I don’t have a job.”

    The respondents to the petition are Buhari Yusuf, DSP, Ehimere Anthony, a police Sergeant and Kunle, an Inspector. All three did not appear before the panel.

    Justice Solomon Olugbemi (rtd), Chairman of the panel, asked the victim to return on November 30.

    90-year-old Widow Allegedly Gang-raped In India

    A 90-year-old widow in India was allegedly gang-raped by two men who stormed into her house at night, a new report by the Times of India has revealed.

    According to the report, two men came into her house at night on October 24 and sexually attacked the yet to be named woman.

    The elderly woman said they left her “almost half-dead” after the attack. After she regained her senses the next morning she told her neighbour.

    She went to hospital and had medical tests after the attack in the Kanchanpur area in the country’s North Tripura district.

    The family of the 90-year-old woman took her to a police station and lodged a report against Anjan Nama, 35, and another unidentified man.

    Speaking to reporters, the woman said: “Anjan and another man stormed into my house at midnight.

    “When I regained my senses the next morning, I informed my neighbour.

    “But Anjan is a very powerful person and we didn’t dare to take a stand against him.”

    Kanchanpur sub-divisional police officer Bikramjit Shuklada confirmed officers are investigating the case and examining charges.

    Her sexual attack allegations comes after protests in India earlier in October over the gang-rape and murder of a young woman in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state.

    The 19-year-old victim was found in mid-September with a broken spine after she was raped, and died at the end of the month in hospital.

    Police have arrested four men on the charges of gang-rape and murder. The investigation continues.

    Daniel’s elder brother, Iliya Simon, stated on that day, some people who are not known in the neighbourhood stormed the area, located the former Speaker’s house and began looting, they moved out from their houses to see what was going on then the security men arrived and began to chase them away.

    “The late Daniel (300 level student, Unijos) and some of his friends were running, but the soldiers reportedly chased them towards the dam and shot him directly on his face and threw him into the pond.

    The community invited the National Human Rights Commission to witness the state of the corpses found before depositing them in the morgue even as search is ongoing for those still missing.

    “I asked if they told them the implication of their action and they said yes, even with this panel of inquiry, they can present their cases but they said they don’t want any case and there is nothing we can do.

    “When my officers went with them to old JUTH, they were looking for pathologists that will do the autopsy, they gave them the coroner forms only for the relations to develop cold feet.

    “Four bodies were picked, one female and three males. This is the problem we have, they make you start investigations but halfway they will say they don’t want to press charges.”
