NYSC corps member jailed for life... 5 years after he killed a UK based Nigerian student and fled to Lagos

In 2009 Jeffrey Okafor fatally stabbed a 19-year-old Nigerian student, Carl Beatson-Asiedu, in the UK and fled to Nigeria where he lived a normal life for five years until he was caught in September 2014. After his tradition to the UK, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.




Jeffrey Okafor (L) has been jailed for life for the murder of Carl Beatson-Asiedu  International Business Times UK‎

A Nigerian student, who fled from the UK in 2009 after he murdered another Nigerian, Carl Beatson-Asiedu, has been convicted and jailed for murder by a Woolwich Crown Court.

Jeffrey Okafor was found guilty after a trial at Woolwich Crown Court and was on Friday sentenced to life with a minimum 17 years in jail.

The 24-year-old Okafor had stabbed Beatson-Asiedu, a 19-year-old undergraduate and actor in the BBC children's series MI High, in the heart.

Beatson-Asiedu, also called DJ Charmz, had just performed at the Club Life nightclub in Kennington, south London before he was attacked by a group of men and stabbed once in the heart by Okafor in an argument.

Okafor then called his girlfriend, told her that he had just stabbed Beatson-Asiedu and told her to dispose of some clothes he wore when he committed the crime.

He then emptied his bank account, fled to Nigeria using his brother's passport and was the subject of a five-year international manhunt.

Back in Nigeria, Okafor completed a university degree and was deployed for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Det insp Alison Hepworth, said Okafor lived comfortably until he was arrested in September 2014 after information was passed on to the Nigerian authorities.

"Jeffrey Okafor fled the UK to Nigeria illegally under a false identity in the hope of evading capture," Hepworth said.

"He lived a relatively comfortable life and even had the opportunity to study at university.

"There is no doubt that he was supported by others both in the UK and in Nigeria."

The British High Commission in Abuja in a statement said Okafor's arrest was collaboration between the Nigerian and British police.

“With the help of the Nigeria Police Force and the British High Commission, detectives arrested Okafor on September 23, 2014. He was apprehended at a bank in Warri, Delta State, by Nigerian police officers," the statement read.

"Okafor was extradited back to the UK and arrived at London Heathrow Airport on November 6, 2014, where he was arrested and charged with Carl’s murder."

Osun to continue free school food for 250,000 pupils Osun state has said it will continue to feed over 250,000 pupils under it’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme despite rumours that it plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds.

Primary school pupils in Osun state will continue to get free food under the government’s ‘O-Meals' School Feeding and Health Programme.

The Permanent Secretary in Osun state Ministry of Education, Lawrence Oyeniran, said this while answering questions on the OSBC Radio 104.5FM Yoruba weekly programme, 'Lagbo Eto Eko'.

Oyeniran said the Governor Rauf Aregbesola government is committed to the program and asked the 3,000 food vendors employed in the scheme to continue to feed the over 250,000 pupils benefiting from the scheme.

There had been speculations that the state government plans to scrap the program over paucity of funds but the Permanent Secretary assured that this was not the case.

He said the rumours were being peddled by 'enemies of masses' and revealed that the government had reached an agreement with the O-meals vendors to resume as usual.

Covenant University begins use of card readers for exam accreditation Covenant University said it has deployed biometrics devices, popularly known as card readers, for the conduct of its on-going examination.

The university is well known for its engagement of technology in its activities and has been awarded the “Best ICT-driven University” in Nigeria and West Africa.
The Director, Centre for Systems and Information Services of the university, Pastor Abolade Afolabi, explained that the introduction of the smart card readers was to solve the challenge of students having to go through the rigour of printing out their Course Evaluation Forms in order to sit for examination, Punch reports.
Another reason, according to him, is to forestall any form of examination malpractice.
INEC deployed a similar technology in the recently concluded general elections.
Before the introduction of the card readers examinations, students were expected to complete their course registration and clearance on the portal and print out the evaluation form. The forms were presented to invigilators at the examination venue before they were eligible to write the exam.
Afolabi further explained that “the card readers use a highly secured cryptographic technology that is commonly used for devices that perform secure transactions, such as payment terminals. The devices contain Green List, that is, names of students who have been evaluated for a particular course and are eligible to take the examination.”
The University’s Director of Academic Planning Unit, Dr. Akan Williams, also claimed that with the introduction of the card readers, examination malpractice had been curtailed to a large extent. Though the use of the device was not without some initial challenges, Williams stated that they had recorded up to 90 per cent success.

UNILORIN's law students rated best in Nigeria after bar exam

been rated the best in Nigeria by the Council of Legal Education.

The recognition came following the cumulative performance of UNILORIN students in the August 2014 Bar Final Examinations of the Nigerian Law School.

The Council announced the ratings in the report of the ad-hoc committee it set up to assess students' performance.

Headed by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the committee had Prof. J. A. M. Audi, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. E. S. Olarinde, Provost, College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti; Dr. Y. M. Yusuf, the Dean of Law, University of Maiduguri; Mr. Emeka Obegolu, representative of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA); Prof. M. O. U. Gasiokwu, the Dean of Law, Delta State University, Abraka; Mr. S. A. Osamolu, Director/Head of Academic, Nigerian Law School and Mrs. M. M. Stanley-Idum, the Deputy Director (Academic), Nigerian Law School, as members.

Accordinf to the ratings, coming second behind UNILORIN is  the University of Lagos (UNILAG), followed by the University of Ibadan (UI), and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in the third and fourth positions respectively while the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) and Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) share the fifth spot..

UNILORIN came second in the 2012 and 2013 Bar Final Examinations

The committee noted in the report that the "“inability of various Faculties of Law to have uninterrupted academic activities in a semester... contributed to the declining standards" which affected their performance in the exams.

“In a bid to meet the Nigerian Law School calendar, some Faculties of Law abridged their programme to compensate for incessant strikes and other disruptions," it stated.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, described the feat as monumental.

He called for similar rating exercise across other faculties in Nigerian Universities.

X-Rated Teacher This teacher had sex with three of her teenage students

A former high school teacher accused of having sexual relationships with three of her teenage students took a plea deal Wednesday, crying as she accepted the agreement in court.

Two of the boys were 17 while a third was 16 when they were having sex with Brianne Altice, 35. One testified that he considered her to be his girlfriend during their yearlong sexual relationship.
But that won't keep her out of jail as Utah law also says a person cannot consent to sex if the other person is in a position of special trust. Altice, who taught high school English, pleaded guilty to three counts of forcible sexual abuse in exchange for prosecutors dropping 11 other counts, including several first-degree felonies.
The school authority knew about Altice's inappropriate behavior and didn't do enough to protect the students, the boys and their parents said. In a lawsuit against the Davis School District, they say the running joke at the high school was, "Who is Ms. Altice sleeping with now?"
Davis School District spokesman Chris Williams said he would love to comment on the allegations but that the civil lawsuit precludes him from saying anything. Prosecutor Susan Hunt said the three victims are on board with the plea deal.
Altice is scheduled to be sentenced on May 28 with each count carrying a possible sentence of 1 to 15 years in prison.
Altice's attorney, Ed Brass, said his client wanted to resolve a case to avoid risking an uncertain outcome at trial. Brass previously defended Altice, saying she was no longer the boys' teacher when the sex occurred.
Altice was first arrested in October 2013 after a student reported having a relationship with her. Two more victims later came forward with similar allegations.
Altice was out on bail during most of the criminal proceedings until allegations emerged earlier this year that she had sex with the third victim following her 2013 arrest. A judge ordered her to jail, where she's been for the three months.
Brass asked the judge Wednesday to let Altice out on bail until her sentencing, but the judge denied the request.
Altice was hired by the Davis County School District in 2004 and had been teaching at the high school since August 2012. She was put on leave from the school after the allegations came to light and later fired in February 2014.

Assistant principal gets 'lenient' sentence for having sex with student

(According to Pulse.ng) Mark Steven West, 32, a married man with one child, was given a 'lenient' sentence on Tuesday of four months in jail followed by eight years probation after pleading guilty to the improper relationship while working a Spring High School in Spring, Texas.
He had previously claimed the girl initiated his actions, seducing him by saying she was 'feeling horny'.
She also told police she encouraged West to have sex.  his
Despite the light punishment, the judge was scathing in handing down the punishment, saying that just three weeks after the incident the girl would have graduated, which would have made their encounter legal.
'You did it because you enjoyed the attention of young girls,' State District Judge Catherine Evans said.
'We're talking about a razor thin margin of three weeks between what separates a felony crime from a poor decision to have an inappropriate extramarital affair.'
Texas law prohibits educators having sex with students.
West apologized to the court, saying he made 'bad decisions made on impulses' and was being 'selfish'.
School officials were first tipped off to the allegations after hearing rumors and seeing inappropriate interactions between West and certain students at the school on separate occasions, according to court documents.
She also saw West 'body slam' a female student, in a playful manner, on a couch in the lobby office.
Students told investigators about rumors that West had sex with a student at the 2012 Project Prom event.
The woman, who is now at college, told investigators she seduced West.
She told investigators that she came on to West first and that he initially refused her advances, according to court documents.
She said she started to flirt and talk with West, allegedly telling him that she 'was horny and wanted to have sex with him'.
He tickled one girl, lifted up another, and was accused of making inappropriate comments to two others.
West was interviewed by a senior staff member at Spring High School in Texas in December 2012 after administrators heard that he made a sexual remark about one female student and possibly had sex with another.
He was also investigated in the 2011-2012 school year for inappropriately touching a female student on her lower back.
No charges were filed due to lack of evidence but he was ordered not to have any contact with female students.
One staff member said she was extremely uncomfortable by the number of lengthy 'closed door meetings' West was having with female students.
The staff member said she observed students leaving his office, smiling and laughing, with their clothes and hair disheveled.

'I Dropped Out Of School' Poverty, boredom pushed me into rape, robbery gang — 26-yr-old Suspect

A 26-year-old school dropout arrested for fraud and rape,Uchenna Ugwu, has said he was pushed into crime by poverty and boredom.

Ugwu, an Enugu state indigene, was paraded at the Awka, Anambra State office of theDepartment of State Service, as a member of a syndicate of fraudsters who pretend to be spiritualist and then rape and defraud unsuspecting women,PUNCH Metroreports.
The group operated in Asaba, Delta State, and Obosi, in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
He confessed to the crime but blamed his case on poverty and frustration.

“I joined this business to fight boredom because my former work was not going on fine and had shut down," he said.
The suspect said he was forced to stop his education very early because his parents were too poor to finance it.

“My parents, who are still alive, are poor and because they cannot sponsor my education, I had to stop at primary six.”
He begged for mercy, promising never to engage in crime again.
“I have suffered a lot in the hands of these people (DSS) and I promise not to indulge in this act again in my life; this is a lesson to every young man that doing evil is not the best,” he said.
Student Pulse gathered that the gang lure women into an arranged prayer house, where she would be tricked into disclosing their ATM PIN codes and compelled to take an oath of secrecy.

One of the gang's victim toldPUNCH Metroshe believes she must have been hypnotized.
“To be sincere, I did not know what I was doing. I lost my sense of reasoning during the process until after he raped me," she said.
The Director of DSS,Alex Okeiyi, warned members of the public to be cautious.

UNILAG Students, Enugu Youths Protest #Xenophobic Attacks

University of Lagos, UNILAG students and Enugu youths protest xenophobic attacks on foreigners, especially Nigerians, in South Africa.
The latest protesters included the students of the University of Lagos and members of the Youth Action for Success.

The UNILAG students on Monday staged a protest at the South Africa’s High Commission, Lagos, while the YAS members took to the streets of Enugu on Tuesday.
The UNILAG students delivered a protest letter to the South African High Commissioner, Amb. Lulu Mguni, giving the South African authorities a 24-hour ultimatum to either stop the attacks or face a boycott of businesses and products from the country.
The students came in three buses, one of which had ‘Aluta missile’ on the number plate.
One of the students that participated in the protest told our correspondent that the demonstration had been planned to move on to major South African companies on the Lagos Island but that the police stopped the protesters.

He said, “We issued a 24-hour ultimatum for the appropriate authorities of South Africa to stop the attacks or they risk a boycott of their businesses and products in the country. We will be the ones to champion the boycott.
“We were to go to a major South African company on Tiamiyu Savage Street but armed policemen resisted us and we cancelled our trip.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the protest.
He said, “The students, under police protection, demonstrated at the South African High Commission. They made attempts to go to the DSTV and MTN offices but were appropriately advised in the interest of security.
“They peacefully departed after a hitch-free protest.”
In Enugu, the youths, who protested on the streets of the coal city, demanded an end to the attacks within 48 hours, failing which South African investments in Enugu State and other parts of Nigeria would be destroyed.
The youths, under the aegis of YAS, carried placards with various inscriptions. Some of the placards read, “No to mindless killing of Nigerians”, “Stop this xenophobia now” and “Don’t tempt our patience”, among others.
Speaking to journalists during the rally, the leader of the group, Jesechai Okezie, said the South Africans had not been grateful for the hospitality of other Africans.
He said, “We are not happy that Nigerians are being brutalised and killed in South Africa.
“We allowed South Africans to come here and operate; they have Shoprite, Multichoice, MTN and a host of other investments here.
“So why are they killing us? Why are they brutalising us? Why are they denying us of our economic rights?
“We love other nationals here in Nigeria, we treat them with the highest level of hospitality, but this is what we have got in return.”
Demanding an immediate end to the attacks, Okeke said, “These killings must stop forthwith.
“We are giving the South African government 48 hours to ensure that these killings and looting come to an end.
“The President of South Africa must assure the world that the lives and properties of Nigerians are safe; if they don’t do that, we are going to react and our reaction will be disastrous.
“We are asking Nigerian youths to remain calm.” (Punch Newspaper)
