rounds of GPMG live ammunition, eight empty magazines of AK rifles and
speedboat W23 fitted with 200HP Yamaha engine.
Ebele said he was given only biscuits (cabin) to eat for the four days he stayed in the hideout.
He said, “They (kidnappers) came to my
school after we had closed and said my father was calling me. I had not
seen them before but followed them because they gave me ice cream. They
took me to the bush and they gave me cabin biscuit for four days.

When on June 13, 2013, the Ebun family
went to pick up their son, Jide, from the Murtala Mohammed International
Airport, Lagos, everybody was happy because the 17-year-old boy had
been in Canada where he was schooling and had not seen his family for
two years.

Olusegun, the mother, Funke, the first son, Jide, the only daughter,
Damilola, and the last child, nine-year-old Timilehin, were in a Sports
Utility Vehicle, a Nissan Pathfinder, with registration number HD844EKY.
Timilehin sat in the centre of the back seat with his two siblings where he was playing a hand-held game.
The nine-year-old boy and his father
were engaged in an argument as regards his future ambition. While the
little boy said he wanted to be a footballer, his father advised him to
go to the university to study medicine after which he could go ahead to
become a footballer.
The reunion was however short-lived. On
getting to Mile 12 end of Ikorodu Expressway, a police stray bullet
pierced through the windscreen of the vehicle and killed Timilehin on

BABA SUWE: COURT OF APPEAL OVERTURNS N25M DAMAGE AGAINST NDLEA
The NDLEA arrested Omidina on October 12, 2011 at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport on his way to Paris, France.
He was suspected to be trafficking hard drug. Omidina was detained beyond the constitutional provision of 24 hours without a formal arraignment before the court of competent record over alleged complicity in the ingestion of hard drugs.
However, in a lead judgment read by Justice Rita Pemu, the Court of Appeal, held that the NDLEA has the prerogative to keep the respondent in custody while investigation is being carried out.
Justice Pemu also held that the Lagos High Court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain the fundamental human rights suit filed by Omidina’s lawyer Bamidele Aturu.
The Appellate Court added that it is only the Federal High Court that has the right to adjudicate on it being a drug related matter.
