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.

Eight persons died while three others were injured in a road traffic crash along the Potiskum–Dogon Kuka carriageway in Yobe.
The Yobe Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Andrew Longkam, confirmed the incident on Thursday.
He said the crash occurred around Gaggaba on the Potiskum–Dogon Kuka axis at about 12:40 hours.
“Preliminary reports from Dogon Kuka Unit Command show the incident was promptly reported to the corps,” Longkam said.
FRSC operatives arrived within five minutes, enabling swift rescue, evacuation of victims, traffic control, road clearance and prevention of secondary crashes.
The crash involved a white Howo trailer, registration DAL 963YY, and a white Mitsubishi Canter, registration NNR 437XA.
“Twelve adult males were involved, with eight fatalities and four rescued, including three injured and one unhurt,” he said.
The injured and deceased were taken to Government General Hospital, Dogon Kuka, where the injured received prompt medical attention.
Longkam said the FRSC tow truck cleared the obstruction, restored traffic flow and notified the Police Motor Traffic Division in Dogon Kuka.
“Preliminary findings indicate the Mitsubishi Canter, suspected to excessive speeding, committed a route violation and crashed into the trailer,” he said.
He said excessive speed and route violation were suspected causes, adding that investigations were ongoing to determine the exact circumstances.
The sector commander urged motorists to avoid speeding, route violations and unsafe practices, assuring continued enforcement, emergency response and public education across the state. (NAN)

Reaction as Atiku’s Son defects to APC, backs President Tinubu’s reelection in 2027
Former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has addressed his son Abba Abubakar’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a personal choice.
In a statement posted on his X handle, Atiku said, “The decision of my son, Abba Abubakar, to join the APC is entirely personal. In a democracy, such choices are neither unusual nor alarming, even when family and politics intersect.”
He added, “As a democrat, I do not coerce my own children in matters of conscience, and I certainly will not coerce Nigerians.”
The former vice president also highlighted his concerns about the ruling party, saying, “What truly concerns me is the poor governance of the APC and the severe economic and social hardships it has imposed on our people.”
“ I remain resolute in working with like-minded patriots to restore good governance and offer Nigerians a credible alternative that brings relief, hope, and progress.”
