Femi John, a dismissed police officer in Oyo state, has told the Oyo state Commissioner of Police, Sina Olukolu, that he engages in illegal deals to feed himself, his wife and children.
The 54-year-old Iseyin indigene disclosed this on Wednesday before journalists at journalists at the Command Headquarters Eleyele, Ibadan, that the charges leveled against him is true and that he does those things in order to feed his family.
He said, “It has been a while I’ve been into it, so I am not afraid of going to jail. Jail is not meant for goats, it’s meant for human beings. After all, most Nigerian top politicians also go to jail. I didn’t rob, I am only using my entitlement to feed myself and my family.
“I don’t regret my action. I am a Force man, so I can’t regret my action. I am not a robber and I have never been to the highway to rob. I only create ways to feed myself and my children.
Meanwhile, a 25-year-old, Musiliu Waliu was paraded alongside the policeman. Waliu was arrested because he masterminded the attack of three robbers on his father’s residence located at Isale Alfa, Saki, Ibadan.
According to the Commissioner of Police, the three robbers attacked Mr Adeniyi Musliu’s residence around 12am on May 4, 2020 and they dispossessed him of a sum of money, a cell phone and other valuable things.
“Immediately the incident was reported at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) base in Saki, a team of SARS men swung into action and arrested two of the suspects, Abass Kasim and Wale Olawuyi, in connection with the crime.
“Their confessional statement led to the arrest of Moshood Fadilulahi, who supplied the locally made guns with the ammunition they used for the criminal activities. One other suspect, Musiliu Waliu, who is a son to the victim, was said to have given information about his father to his syndicate membership, which led to the armed robbery operation,” the police chief said.
Waliu, while admitting his crime explained, “I am an apprentice of the motor spare parts trade. When I wanted to do my freedom, I went to my dad to give me money for the ceremony but he told me he didn’t have any money to give me. That was why I decided to take some of my friends to rob him so that I can get money to celebrate my freedom. Now that I have been caught, I regret my action.”
CP Olukolu explained that his men arrested thirty-six suspects, out of which nine were caught for armed robbery, one for murder/cultism, one for impersonation and another one for obtaining goods under false pretence and stealing.

Report any officer asking for money for release of suspect as Police insist bail is free
Report any officer asking for money for release of suspect as Police insist bail is free
The Police Command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has insisted that bail is free, and called on the public to report any officer asking for money to release a suspect on bail.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, SP Josephine Adeh, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.
Adeh spoke in reaction to public outcry that some police officers were demanding money to release suspects on bail in the territory.
She said the report of the erring officers would serve as a deterrent to others, adding that it was fraudulent to demand for money to release a suspect on bail.
Adeh blamed the yielding to such fraudulent demand on ignorance on the part of the victims who refused to stand on their rights.
“A similar case was reported where an officer demanded money to release a suspect on bail and when the matter was reported, we requested for evidence from the victim.
“The evidence was provided because the money was transferred to the officer’s account and actions are being taken on the issue.
“So, I encourage the public to take advantage of the FCT Police Complaint Response Unit (CRU) lines on 08107314192 to report such misconduct with evidence,” she said.
Adeh urged the public to always insist on their rights and refuse any form of payment to release a suspect on bail.(NAN)

Former President sentenced to five years in prison by Court
Former President sentenced to five years in prison by Court
South Korea’s former president Yoon Suk Yeol was on Friday sentenced to five years in prison for obstruction of justice.
The Seoul Central District Court found that the 65-year-old conservative, with the help of the presidential security service, had tried to prevent his own arrest and deleted multiple documents related to the investigation against him.
Yoon shocked the nation by imposing martial law on December 3, 2024, amid a budget dispute with the opposition, plunging the country into a political crisis.
He justified the drastic measure as necessary to protect South Korea’s democratic order and accused the left-leaning opposition of being infiltrated by communists with ties to China and North Korea, though he provided no evidence for these claims.
In a separate trial, prosecutors have sought the death penalty for Yoon on charges of incitement, with a verdict expected on February 19.
While the death penalty remains legally in force in South Korea, it has not been carried out for nearly 30 years.
Yoon’s actions previously alarmed international investors and led to withheld investments, damaging the reputation of South Korea as a political and economic model for the region.
Since last summer, South Korea has been led by President Lee Jae Myung, a left-leaning centrist and long-time political rival of Yoon. (dpa/NAN)

JUST IN; Imam that famously shielded 262 Christians from death during Plateau attack is dead
The Imam of Nghar village, Abubakar Abdullahi in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, who famously sheltered 262 Christians during communal violence, has passed away.
The Imam’s Son Saleh Abubakar, confirmed the development to Daily Trust on Friday, saying that the cleric died on Thursday night at the Plateau Specialist Hospital in Jos.
The Son said, his father “died ten days after he was admitted” in the hospital.
“He was initially diagnosed with a heart problem. He’d go for check-ups and return. His health hadn’t been stable since the heart disease diagnosis.”
Imam Abubakar died at the age of 90. He is survived by 19 children – 12 sons and seven daughters.
Tecall that in June 2018, during violent, faith-based communal clashes that affected 10 villages in Barkin Ladi, Imam Abubakar sheltered 262 Christians in his mosque and residence until the violence subsided, saving them from certain death.
His courage earned him widespread recognition, including the International Religious Freedom Award presented by the United States Department of State in 2019.
The late cleric will be laid to rest on Friday (today) in Nghar village after the Juma’at prayers.
