How we stole N700m at Ikeja Airport – K Money

Leave a Comment

In February 2012, a gang of heavily armed robbers attacked the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.

They carted away N700 million from a bureau de change operator. Each member, including the informant, a cart pusher at the airport, got N90million, an amount that could have turned their lives around. But barely one year after that operation, Felix Sunday, a.k.a. K-Money, a native of Delta State became broke and went back to robbery.

The 32 year old man, who is currently cooling off at the Specail Anti-Robbery Sqaud, SARS, Ikeja, narrated to Vanguard how he robbed with the notorious Southwest robbery czar, Abiodun Ogunjobi, a.k.a. Godogodo and how he lavished his N90million share of the loot. Excerpts.

My name is Felix Sunday. I am a resident of Lagos State and I was a commercial bus driver. I joined my first robbery gang in 2009 and was the gang’s driver. Members of my gang then were old men and all of them are dead now.

They were killed in a robbery operation at Ajah area, but before then, a member of my gang had introduced me to Emmanuel Ehianeta, a.k.a. Arab, who is also a notorious robber. After their death I joined Arab and we began to operate together. Arab specialized in car snatching and we stole many cars at gun point. After each operation, he usually gave the car to a man who would drive it into Benin Republic to deliver to some of our buyers.

We did that for some time before we had issues. I stopped working with him because he was cheating me. He usually gave me peanuts after receiving proceeds from the cars we stole. I relocated to Ondo State and formed a new gang.

There, I had Chiboy and Okey as members and we specialized in house visiting. We robbed people of their valuables each time we visited their homes. We did that until 2011 when Chiboy was killed by the police in Ondo State. I quickly moved out of that state because the police were also looking for me. I relocated to Oyo State, where I became a commercial bus driver.

I vowed never to return to robbery and was contented with what I was making. But there was this man who usually sent me to the prison to deliver some items to his younger brother who was locked up there.

The man was paying me very well and I was happy doing the job for him. However in one of my numerous visits to the prison, I asked his brother what brought him to the prison and he said he was arrested for robbery, I felt sorry for him and told him that I was also a robber but had quit the job because it is dangerous.

He looked at me and laughed. Thereafter he described me as a small time robber. He asked if I could ignore a big job that could fetch me a million naira. I thought about it for a while and said, I would only do it if it would make me rich and pull me out of poverty. He told me to be patient adding that he would give my number to someone who would link me to the job.

In January 2012, I got a call from a man who identified himself as OJ and he explained that he got my number from Destiny, the guy I had been seeing in prison. OJ later told me that there was a job for me at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and he would want me to come to Computer Village in Lagos, to meet other members of the gang.

When I got there I met Asiwaju, Atoba, Eso and OJ. There OJ told me that they had concluded plans to strike at the airport and the only thing they needed then were rifles for the job. I told them not to worry that I knew someone who could provide us with some rifles.

I contacted one Ore, who used to be close to Arab and asked him how to get a rifle. He told me that Arab had two AK 47 rifles given to him in Benin Republic by his receivers in exchange for some cars. I called Arab. At first he was mad at me and asked why I was calling. I told him of the job at the airport that the foreign currencies were being exported unguarded and all we needed was to steal it. He doubted me but I managed to convince him to meet other members of the gang and he was taken to the airport and shown how the monies were being exported.


Felix Sunday… wasted his N90 million robbery proceeds
By February of that year I, Atoba, Eso, Arab and Asiwaju drove to the airport around 7:pm. I was the one driving. I parked near the barbed wire and waited in the car while four of them went into the airport for the money. Arab and Eso held the Ak 47 rifles while Asiwaju held a pistol.

I was told that when they got to the spot where the money was Arab shot sporadically into the air to scare passersby and Atoba went straight for the bags containing the money. In less then 10 minutes, they were through with the operation and entered my vehicle with the money while I drove off. We escaped through Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and when we got to Ijebu-Ode we entered into a bush to share the money.


Before then Arab had asked Eso and Asiwaju to hand over the pistol and rifles to him so he could keep them safe from the police. But when we began to share the money Arab corked one of the rifles and threatened to kill everyone. He said he wanted to leave with the whole money but I begged him not to do so and agreed that he should take any amount he wanted as his share.

He then asked me to bring a bag and said I should load the money into it until the bag was full and I did so. After that he ordered us to share the remaining money equally among ourselves including the informant and the middle-man that brought the job. I gave Eso, Asiwaju, Atoba and myself N90million each and kept N45million for the informant and another N45 million for OJ, who was the middle-man.

Asiwaju offered to deliver the money to the informant and the middle-man. We all went our separate ways from there. The first thing I did was to contact a lawyer to help me register a company because I wanted to sell cars. The lawyer took about N500, 000 from me and also leased a land for me for about N1.6million which I used as show room. I went to Benin Republic and bought many cars which I kept in my show room. I also bought many landed property at Ijebu-Ode.

Since I was a transporter, I decided to open a transport company, I bought three Toyota Sienna space buses and took them to Maza-MazaMotorPark, where I wanted them to be used for inter-state transportation. One of the Sienna buses had an accident on it first journey and all the passengers including the driver died in the process.

Things were moving smoothly for me until the police in Oyo State stumbled on the rifles we used for the airport operation. They found it in the home of a man Arab gave them to keep. The man told the Oyo SARS operatives that I was very close to Arab so they stormed Ijebu-Ode and they started looking for me. They didn't find it difficult locating me because my sudden wealth and business empires gave me out. They stormed my home and looted all my property and they went to my show room and took all the cars in it. I was left with no other option than to run out of the state and I relocated to Calabar, Cross River State. I lived in Calabar for about three months but life in that state was too expensive. My money was dwindling seriously and the man who was managing my transportation company stopped remitting money to me, so I decided to come to Lagos State. I went to Ikorodu, but I was very scared.

I was moving from one hotel to the other and spending too much money. A girl who was very close to me became pregnant and I decided to marry her. We didin’t even have a house of our own then and I didn’t have enough money to rent an apartment. Then I decided to sell the Toyota Corolla I was using for N1.6million and bought a Peugeot 406 for N400, 000. I used the balance to rent an apartment and furnished it. I became almost broke at that time, and then started working my phones, calling other members of my gang to ask if there was any job.

Luckily I was told that plans were on ground to rob a bank in Osun State and what they were working on was to pick a suitable date for the job. But on December 18, 2012, Asiwaju asked me to meet him at Ijebu-Ode, from where we proceeded to the bank.

My gang wasn’t the only one that was involved in that operation. Paul, an Igbo boy was also leading a gang of Igbo boys from the south east. As usual I drove my gang to the scene and we succeeded in that operation. We carted away a huge sum of money from the bank .

Since the number of men involved in that job was much, I was given just N200,000 and I took it home to my family. By January 2013, Asiwaju, called again to say there was a job in Kwara State and the operation was being coordinated by Godogodo.

We struck at two banks in that state and I got about N500,000 as my share and life began to become normal for me again. Godogodo also brought a bullion van job for us again at Ijebu-ode and we succeeded in carting away all the money in the bullion van which included foreign currencies. My share in that job was N150,000.

Godogodo and other big time robbers like Paul, Odun and others took the larger share of it. But in March 2013, Asiwaju who had three Ak47 rifles then called a meeting of all members of the gang and said we have to rob the airport again. This time we sidelined the Alhaji and OJ, and went to the MMIA ourselves to survey how the money was being moved.

On Wednesday, March 13, 2013, we struck at the airport, but before we got there we encountered a little traffic on our away. Two members of our gang who we had stationed earlier to monitor the movements of the money called us and said the money was already moving and by the time we arrived at the airport, the money had been moved from the car park into the departure lounge of the airport. We shot sporadically into the air to cause panic and distraction but some policemen who were at the airport to escort some expatriates shot at us and they killed Eso.

But Asiwaju, Atoba faced them, rained bullets and killed two of them. Before we knew what was happening the money had moved beyond our reach. We couldn’t do anything, we descended on the bureau de change operators at the airport and we carted away the sum of N10 million.

That operation turned out to be my last. I went home to my family but one week later I got a call from a member of our gang, a Pastor, who prepared the charms and oath we took before the operation. He said that he needed to see me for a job. I didn’t know that he was with the police and when I came out to see him, I was arrested. I regret getting back to armed robbery and would have stuck to my vows.”

Phoenix Man Dumps Wife at Hospital, Drives Off, After Weird Stuff Went Down in Bedroom

Leave a Comment
Brian Reade
A Phoenix man dropped off his wife at the hospital and drove off after what can only be described as weird stuff went down in the couple's bedroom.

Perhaps a list of the items in the couple's bedroom will give you a better idea of what was going in inside: a bloody rope, a bloody chain, bloody bolt cutters, whips, dildos, ball gags, and, according to the wife's recollection, a "demon."

According to court documents obtained by New Times, police started investigating an apparent assault victim who was being treated at the Paradise Valley Hospital on July 21.

The woman said she didn't know what had happened, but the surveillance footage in front of the emergency entrance showed the woman's husband, 48-year-old Brian Reade, drop off his wife.

The woman later told a nurse that her husband is the one who caused all these injuries to her body -- including broken bones in her face and bruises and cuts all over her body -- but later gave a slightly different explanation to police.

"The victim later stated that a demon had tied her up with chains and assaulted her," according to a police probable-cause statement.

The woman also admitted to smoking a bit of meth earlier that day.

Police note that Reade never visited his wife at the hospital but instead called police 10 hours after he dropped off his wife.

Reade told police that he thought he might be a victim and said his wife had possibly drugged him and sexually abused him, according to the documents. Police noted that Reade had no visible signs of injury.

Meanwhile, his wife told officers that it was her husband who assaulted her at their home -- more specifically, it was "not actually [her husband], but a demon that had left his body," according to the court documents.

Police served a search warrant at the couple's home, near State Route 51 and Thunderbird Road, and discovered how the woman got all her injuries.

There was a bloody rope that looked like it had been used to restrain her, while bloody bolt-cutters were apparently used to cut the woman's toes. Police also discovered a length of chain that matched some injuries on her back.

These were all in a trunk at the end of the bed, which included what police call "bondage items," in addition to whips, dildos, and ball gags. Police also noted two eyelets on the ceiling above the bed, and in the wall at the head of the bed, which are "possibly used for bondage-type situations."

By the time police arrived, the bedding had already been placed in the washing machine.

Reade was arrested, and booked into jail on two felony counts of assault with temporary disfigurement.

Timothy Millet Tells Cops He Took "Thousands" of Pictures of Women Inside Fry's Food Stores

Leave a Comment
A vendor who works inside Fry's grocery stores admitted to secretly taking "thousands" of photos of women inside the store for "sexual purposes," police say.

According to court documents obtained by New Times, 32-year-old Timothy Millet is actually an employee of Nabisco but works inside Fry's stores around the Valley.

Millet was caught after he tried to take a video under a woman's dress at the Fry's on the corner of Warner Road and Cooper Road in Gilbert, but he accidentally touched the woman's leg with his phone, according to the documents.

Millet later told police he just told the woman he was sorry and walked away.

When the woman notified store management and got police involved, Millet admitted to "taking several photographs of random female customers," the documents state.

In this case, he said, he accidentally held the phone upside-down under the woman's dress, so he took a video of her feet and the floor. He deleted the video before police arrived.

However, police say Millet "admitted that he had a sexual addiction and has taken thousands of photos and videos of random women on his cell phone."

Police discovered "hundreds" of these photos and videos on his phone, from several different Fry's locations, according to the documents.

"This is consistent with Timothy's admission of taking thousands of photos," a police probable-cause statement says. "Timothy begins recording the females while inside the store and then follows them outside into the parking lot."

Most of the photos and videos "are focused on the buttocks" of the women, according to court documents.

The woman who finally caught Millet and told police was visibly upset and crying over the incident, according to the documents.

Millet was booked into jail on two felony counts of taking unlawful surreptitious photos.

Man uses fiancee's credit card to buy one-way ticket to Hawaii, marries another woman

Leave a Comment

If you're planning to leave your fiancee to marry another woman, it's probably best not to steal her things and use her credit card for the wedding. It's just a bad move, OK? Gutsy, but also criminal.

A man
who had planned to marry a Wisconsin woman in December decided to dip out a little early, take many of her belongings, and use her to fund his one-one ticket to Hawaii to marry a Russian woman. He also used her credit card for a hotel, flowers, and other wedding expenses. It's beyond classy, really.

Raymond Jackson 41, was sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison for stealing an engagement ring, laptop, credit cards, luggage and money from the woman. Court records say he stole a total of $7,600 from the woman.

The 39-year-old woman told police she met Jackson in Prescott in September 2008. He eventually moved in with her, and they planned to marry Dec. 31 in Las Vegas. He said he had a job interview in South Dakota and flew out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

The woman then realized her laptop, cell phone, suitcase and $4,200 diamond ring were missing, and Jackson had used her credit card to buy an $800 one-way ticket to Hawaii. Reports indicate Jackson married a woman from Russia while in Hawaii and had used the Pierce County woman's credit card for a hotel, flowers, flights and other expenses.

Martin Manley, Former Kansas City Star Reporter, Posts Website Explaining His Suicide

Leave a Comment
A former Kansas City Star reporter committed suicide at 5 a.m. yesterday morning in the parking lot of the Overland Park City Police Department.
What made news of the death go from simply tragic to bizarre is the fact that Martin Manley, 60, left behind a website that chronicles his life, his views on everything from movies to 9/11, and spells out the reasons he committed suicide.
"Today is August 15, 2013. Today is my 60th birthday. Today is the last day of my life," the home page reads. "Today, I committed suicide. Today, is the first day this site is active, but it will be here for years to come."
Daily RFT called the Overland Park police to find out if the information on the site is true, and we will update if we hear back. We also called Kansas City Star editor Mike Fannin for comment; his assistant said he was not available. Here's the statement he gave to his own reporter covering the death:
"Martin was a terrific guy and a good employee," said Mike Fannin, editor and vice president of The Star. "This is a real shock, just an incredible tragedy. Our hearts and thoughts are with his family today."
The Star piece also confirms that Manley was found dead at 5 a.m. in the police station parking lot.
Manley worked for the Star for seven years and maintained the sports blog Upon Further Review for three ("3.3 years, almost 2,000 articles and at least one story every day for 653 days in a row"). He left in 2012 after the workload became "untenable" and maintained a personal sports blog thereafter.
According to the tab on Manley's site labeled "Suicide - How To," Manley planned to drive to a corner of the parking lot at the police station and shoot himself. He left a note which begins, "I committed suicide of my own free will. I am not under the influence of any drugs. I am sorry for your inconvenience!" and instructions on where to send his organs. He also says he sent letters to friends and family set to arrive the morning of his death.
There is also some confusion about a section of the website that indicates Manley may have buried his personal fortune in Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens -- he provided GPS coordinates after a passage enumerating his personal finances. According to the Star, this may have been a hoax (Manley's idea of a final practical joke?) as his family says he got rid of his stash of gold and silver coins prior to his suicide.
Here are a few excerpts from the site, which is voluminous:
On why he committed suicide:
The major reasons adults commit suicide - health, legal, financial, loss of loved ones, loneliness or depression... none of those issues are relevant to me and, for the most part of my life, have never been.
I decided I wanted to have one of the most organized good-byes in recorded history and I think I will be successful. The key has always been to do it before it becomes impossible to accomplish what I'm doing now - because then it's too late and I would simply be along for the ride to the inevitable cliff. And, that has always been an unacceptable conclusion to my life. I became convinced that had I waited even another few years, I would never have been able to produce this site.
On his work at the Star:
I survived approximately nine lay-offs at The Star because I was a workaholic. I never missed a day of work in all the years I was with the company. I rarely even took my vacation. I got 24 days a year and in the last two years, I took seven of 48 days. Company policy was not to pay for days not taken which I fully understood, so I just lost 41 days. I never took breaks, never stopped to eat during a shift, worked my butt off pretty much every minute I was there because... I just wanted to work.
Go to www.MartinManleyLifeandDeath.com to read everything Manley wanted to say before his death. Manley paid enough to keep it live for the next five years.
Update: As of Friday evening, the site is down. Yahoo told a writer for Slate, "After careful review, our team determined that this site violated our Terms of Service and we took it down." However, it is still possible to read Manley's final words on other mirror sites like this one.

What do you think? Did Yahoo do the right thing or should Manley's final wish be honored?

TB Joshua’s neighbours convert homes to hotels

Leave a Comment

Many residential buildings in Ikotun-Egbe on the Lagos mainland have been converted to hotels and inns because of the presence of the Synagogue, Church of all Nations.

Mr. Akibu Sunday, who resides at Egbe in Ikotun Egbe, Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos, last Saturday looked every inch a worried man. The expression on his face showed a man whose inner recesses are preoccupied with worries.

Indeed, the young upcoming musician, who our correspondent saw at a property agent’s shop, is having an accommodation problem. His landlord at Bolorunpelu Street on the Isolo-Ikotun Road, has given him a notice to vacate his house in the next six months. So, Sunday’s anxiety was not only on how to secure another accommodation for his family, but also how to raise the needed money to do so. He also has to meet his landlord’s deadline if his belongings would not be thrown out of the compound.

Securing and paying for accommodation in Lagos is no child’s play. Besides, the huge two or three years’ rent one has to pay to get a fairly good place, other sundry financial bills like the agreement and agent’s fees, among others, are part of the burden one has to bear.

The legwork, as it were, is another task any potential accommodation seeker has to face. Indeed, anybody looking for an accommodation has to register with agents, which, of course, requires monetary involvement (perhaps between N2,000 and N5,000) in as many shops as possible, although that does not suggest an automatic access to the apartment of one’s choice.

These and many other psychological issues were occupying Sunday's mind last Saturday.

Like Sunday, many other residents of Egbe and its environs are facing a similar experience. Small-scale business owners too are not left out of what a resident of the area described as the “mad rush for the occupation” of the territory.

Property owners in the area are no longer interested in giving out their apartments to families for a long period of years. In the new thinking, there is now a fresher approach to recouping the money they have spent on the buildings.

Not only that, many house owners prefer to relocate to other parts of the city and let out their houses as chalets.

One of them, Mr. Gabriel Omatade, who relocated to Gemade Estate in Egbeda, said he had two houses now turned to hotels in the area.

According to him, it makes more economic sense for him to live in a rented apartment elsewhere because he makes more money from the houses converted to hotels.

Another house owner who pleaded anonymity, gave the same reason for moving out of the area.

He said he makes more than double the money he could have made if his house had been solely occupied by tenants.

“The easiest way to make more money from your apartment is to turn them to chalets. There are enough visitors here everyday to stay in them,” he added.

Little wonder, the Egbe-Ikotun area of Lagos, the once residential area, is of late beginning to attract a lot of attention and increasingly becoming a business hub, courtesy of the presence of Synagogue Church of All Nations.

Following the large number of people coming to worship or seek one religious favour or another in the church, the tempo and standard of life in the area have moved upward.

The many hotels, lodgings, business shops and transport companies springing up around the locality are pointers to the pace of development in the area.

In fact, saying that there is no street in that neighbourhood without at least three hotels or lodgings would not be far from the truth.

The area has also become a hotbed of activities for some young employment seekers recruited to solicit customers and clients for the growing business outfits in the vicinity. These young individuals, our correspondent gathered, are paid commissions for every new client they attract to a hotel or any of the hurriedly organised lodging places.

In fact, just as soon as our correspondent got to Segun Irefin Street, where the church is located, a commercial motorcycle operator quickly offered to take her to where she could get a ‘decent’ accommodation.

The okada rider, who later gave his name as Simon, informed our correspondent that he is usually and adequately compensated by the hotel management depending on the number of guests he brings in.

“Each time I take a guest to any of the hotels, I write my name and the number of guests I bring. At the end of the day or month, I am compensated. Some hotels can give me a bag of rice at the end of the year. Others can give me commission based on what the guests pay,” he said.

Simon, who said he had been doing the business for more than three years, noted that he had even moved up to buy a car, which he also uses for the business.

“It depends on the guests. Some of them, I use my car to take them to the airport or the park. I have so many customers. All they need to do is to call me when they are coming to the church and I will go and pick them up. We are so many in the business. You can see all the young guys hanging around here, we are all agents and this is what we do. The more guests you are able to take to any hotel or lodging, the more you are compensated,” he said.

Indeed, the ‘agents’ are not just young boys and okada riders, female recharge card sellers readily take guests where they could pay as low as N500 a night.

On Unity Street, off Liasu Road, is a hotel where each room can have as many as 12 double-bunk beds.

Gloria, a recharge card seller, who took our correspondent to the hotel, said a bed space is N1,000 per night and those who could sleep on the mat would need to pay N500 for a night.

“You know that some people come with very sick people. Those ones might not need to sleep on the bed. They would only need just a space to put their heads. That is why we have mats for such people,” she said.

A resident, who also pleaded anonymity, noted that his landlord on Unity Street, last year jerked up his three-bedroom accommodation rent from N130,000 to N250,000. The landlord, he added, even threatened to turn the living home to a lodging if any tenant contested the rent.

Apart from apartments, owners of business shops, whose economic fortunes are nose-diving, are now converting their premises to mini lodging places. Examples abound;

On Opeloyeru Street, also adjacent to the church, two emergency pilgrims’ hostels have sprung up in the last few months. The Isolo-Ikotun Road end close to the church has also started witnessing a beehive of activities. For instance, a hotel, Victoria Continental, has opened within the neighbourhood in the last couple of months.

No matter how indecent some of these lodgings are, guests still troop to them, not minding the terrible state.

A visitor to the church, Edith Iro, who informed our correspondent she is based in Cameroun, said she had relatives in Lagos, who she could have stayed with but she preferred staying in a lodging.

“By 3 am, everywhere is already filled up. There is no space in the church. So, I would rather stay in a nearby area in order to get a seat. These places are terrible. I came with my younger sisters and we stayed with eight other strangers in a room where we paid N800 a night for the three nights we stayed here,” she said.

The Manager of Decent Accommodation, a property agent at Ile-Iwe Bus Stop, Alhaji Femi Taofeek, also attested to the increased patronage in the area. He stated that the cost of renting shops and accommodation has increased tremendously.

“Rent for any property within this area has skyrocketed. The concentration of people doing the hotel business is between Ile-Iwe, Ita Alhaji,  Bolorunpeluand Synagogue Bus Stops. People now engage in accommodation business. So many new buildings are coming up. We now have new structures which are all for lodging and mini hotels,” he said.

“In fact, some people rent the flats and turn them to mini chalets and most times, the landlords don’t even get to know about it. Some landlords who found out that their tenants turned their flats to lodgings have given them notices to quit. It is not proper for anybody to turn a residential flat into a lodging. Some of the guests are sick people with one ailment or the other.”

Taofeek stated that landlords were also
driving out their tenants and turning their property to lodgings.

“A landlord can wake up one morning and tell his tenants that he wants to turn his property to a hotel, thereby giving them notices to quit. This is what has been happening in this area for some years now. Most of the hotels are not even registered. It is not proper. It is high time the government looked into this,” he said.

In another instance, Desmond Ojeh, another property agent, said shops, which used to cost between N700 and N1,500 now cost between N2,500 and N7,000 per month. Securing a plot of land in the neighbourhood now, he added, cost between N7m and N12m.

Besides issues of accommodation, food vendors are equally making brisk businesses in the area. Because many of these emergency hospitality outfits do not provide or sell food, petty food vendors have now cashed in on the situation to flourish in their own enterprises.

Also Keke Marwa (tricycle operators) and banned motorcyclists (okada riders) are into “big” business as they move visitors and passengers from the church to many of these lodging spots.

“Since the government banned our business, we have come to this area and I must tell you that it has not been bad; people always troop to this place looking for accommodation. Since they are mostly strangers, we take them to the places we know they would be accommodated depending on their pockets,” an Okada rider told our correspondent.

Even the mobile Hausa currency exchange dealers have hurriedly found a place in the neighbourhood. One of them, who identified himself as Alhaji Kabiru, told our correspondent that they are patronized largely by visitors, who troop to the church.

“We get to change different kinds of currencies for them. Most people that patronise us are not Nigerians. They are people from other countries who come to the church. We were not here before, it was because of the presence of the church that we came here,” he said.
