Pregnant ‘Policewoman’ caught after Stealing a Car worth N5m
The 35-year-old ‘policewoman’ who was paraded by the Ogun State Police Command at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Magbon, Abeokuta, according to the state Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, was dismissed as a corporal in 2010 from the Ondo State Police Command over fake result but that since her dismissal, she has been impersonating as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), deceiving Nigerians and committing various atrocities till the long arms of the law caught up with her.
The Police Commissioner explained that Balogun came to Abeokuta about two months ago and stole a car dealer and sold it. Since then, she has been on the run until her arrest recently in Lagos while the stolen car was recovered in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Narrating the scenario to newsmen, Okoye said: “This woman specialised in stealing vehicles. She is specialised in deceiving people, going to car dealers to deceive them that she wants to buy a car. She will bargain with them, after which she will now tell them that they should follow her to the bank to cash money.
From there, she will discharge the dealer and take away the vehicle. I don’t know how she came about the police uniform and that is what she has been using to defraud people. In this particular case, she came into Abeokuta, she negotiated with a car dealer and then pretended to be coming to the state police headquarters, Eleweran. They believed her and gave her two boys to follow her.
She came into the headquarters, drove round, deceived them and went out, came back and dropped one of the boys and asked the other one to follow her to the bank to collect the money.
While their master was inside the office waiting for them, he could not see them and he had to call them; they said that they were still waiting for the woman. Their boss now sent another boy to the so-called bank. The boy went there and was at the bank waiting for this woman.
Then, the dealer called the woman again and asked about her whereabouts. She said she was in the bank. While they were waiting, the next time he called, the woman said she was still processing the money.
After that, she switched off her phones and headed for Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, from where she escaped with the car. When the dealers reported the matter, we investigated and the investigation landed us in Port Harcourt where we recovered that vehicle after arresting the woman in Lagos.”
The suspect confessed that she actually stole the car but that it was her first time since she was dismissed.
She said she regretted her action and appealed to government to pardon her because of her children. Balogun, who stated that she already had twins, advised authorities of the police to desist from dismissing erring officers.
She noted that frequent dismissal of officers could escalate crime rate in the country.

Move over Nicki Minaj, Nigerian singer Lamili did it first!
Advertorial. Not written by me...
A photo of American Rapper Nicki Minaj half naked in a bath tub with milky water has been in circulation recently, however Nigerian singer Lamili seems to wonder if the idea was taken off a scene in her #WannaLoveYou music video released last year and directed by PRODIGY. in Lamili's music video you can see Lamili half naked in a bath tub, you'll agree with me that Nicki Minaj's version is very similar. Well it's not everyday you see foreign artists taking ideas from us. So Big up's to Lamili.
Lamili recently won the award for the "Best Contemporary Female Artist" at the just concluded BORA Awards, she also won "Next Rated Female Artist" at the 2014 Scream Awards. Congratulations...

Why I went back to robbery after release from jail-Ex-convict
Sources said the suspect was arrested around Oshodi, Lagos while trying to buy an AK47 rifle in preparation for a robbery.
The suspect, who described himself as an ex-convict, said:
“I went to Kirikiri Prison in Lagos in 2014 because of motor-snatching crime. It was one boy called Ayeke that deceived me by telling me to go and carry a car for him, saying that he wanted to sell it. When I went to collect the car, I discovered that it was a stolen Sienna car. Ayeke said it was his mother that gave him the car to use in school. He told me to go and bring the car and that one Alhaji would give me money for my sweat.
“I was arrested and eventually sent to Kirikiri prison. I have also stolen Mazda car.
I stayed eight months in prison before my brother perfected my bail. I was arrested on January 14, 2014. It was one boy called Ebuka that taught me how to snatch cars with a filed key. He sells motor parts in Lagos. He did the key for me and I used it to be carrying cars from parks. During the day, I patrol the streets and when I see a car, I test it with my key. If it works, I come back in the morning to carry it.”
Kosemani, said he intended to use the AK47 rifle to defend himself during an operation.
