OPC member kills Etisalat employee, Chukwuma Eze, over N10 toll
 |
| Late Chukwuma Eze |
A suspected member of the Odua Peoples Congress known by the pseudonym “Ultimate” on Monday allegedly killed an employee of Etisalat, Chukwuma Eze, in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State during an argument over N10 toll.
PUNCH Metro learnt that N10 toll was collected by the OPC members at a footbridge that links Ejigbo with Ajao Estate.
It was gathered that the deceased told the collectors that he had only N1, 000 denominations with him and offered it to one of the collectors who asked him to come back for his balance.
Eze was said to have agreed but was shocked when on his return a female member of the group insisted that the deceased did not give N1,000 to the collectors.
The telecoms employee was said to have been angered by the denial resulting in a fight between him and the female member of the group.
Sensing that the female member of the group could not match Eze’s strength, “Ultimate,” was said to have brought out an object suspected to be charm and hit the telecoms employee with it on the chest.
Eze, who is to marry in April, reportedly slumped and died on the spot.
It was learnt that immediately words filtered in that Eze had died, his kinsmen in the area carried out a reprisal and attacked some members of the OPC found at the footbridge.
A source told PUNCH Metro that in the ensuing pandemonium, a member of the OPC was also killed, while some motorcycles and a generator belonging to members of the group were vandalised.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Mr. Joseph Jaiyeoba, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone confirmed the incident but said facts about the incident were still sketchy.
He said, “One Chukwuma Eze was allegedly killed by some people collecting money at a footbridge but we cannot say for sure if the collectors are members of the OPC or the local government revenue collectors.
“The incident caused a stir as some friends of the deceased confronted and fought with the suspects.
“The details of what exactly transpired are still sketchy because the incident occurred at night but another corpse, identified as one Sumonu, was also found at Ajao Estate later. We (Police) do not know if his death is related to Eze’s killing.”

EDI GATHEGI LANDS TV PILOT ROLE
The bizarre mix of Jeffrey Daniel, Yinka Davies and Charly Boy is what makes Nigerian Idol the show to beat.
There is the punk king Charly Boy whose antics have given a new name to shock therapy. We all have seen him working a power-bike, we've seen him with make up on and no less than false lashes. We've seen this 60 something year old cry shamelessly and remove his clothes when his favourite contestant left the competition and we have all seen him declare love for one of his contestants and he has begged contestants to slap him!
For Yinka Davies, in season one, this music diva’s strongest feature was her high spontaneous laughter or the way she used to say Aha! It appears that once she is excited, she lets rip one of her many verbal constructions. Here are a couple of her words: “you have dabarued everybody here.’ she told a dramatic performer. ‘You have flabbergastified the whole place’; she told another impressive performer. ‘Blaga bla bla’, she said, when she had no words to describe an excellent performance.
Jeffrey Daniel used to be the coolest judge of all on the show. Jeffrey is well known for his smooth talk and his calm advice to contestants, when Jeffrey says you’ve got it? You definitely have. These days, the Shalamar legend appears to have been bitten by the Charly Boy bug. Last weekend on the show, he warned viewers to vote for Mercy Chinwo. “If you don’t vote the right contestant in, he began, this is what will happen,”. Then he proceeded to rip off and chew the foam off his microphone to the delight of the audience.
These three are by far Nigeria’s craziest trio on TV.
RIP James Iroha
The actor popularly known as Gringory, passed on today. May his soul rest in peace...amen!
Funmi Iyanda joins UN Africa Unite on Kilimanjaro Climb to End Violence Against Women and Girls
March 5, 2012, Nigeria’s award winning producer and broadcast journalist Funmi Iyanda will join climbers from more than 32 African countries in a historic advocacy climb up Mount Kilimanjaro. Africa UNiTE campaign is organizing this climb as part of its campaign to End Violence Against Women and Girls. Climbers are expected to arrive at Africa’s highest summit on International Women’s Day –March 8, 2012, when all African national flags will be displayed and the Africa commitments will be read out.
Funmi Iyanda joins South African rock band the Parlotones, South African actress Rosie Motene, human rights lawyer, Ann Njogu, Congolese singer Barbara Kanam, and many African women and men who play an active role in their countries. For three days, they will hike up the Kilimanjaro in freezing temperatures, sleeping outdoors in sleeping bags without taking showers, and hike back down on the fourth day. Through this climb, Africa Unite plans to raise global awareness on ending violence against Women and Girls in Africa as well as secure concrete national commitments from African governments to be implemented by 2015 to end violence against women and girls.
An outspoken advocate for women and children, Funmi has championed the cause of vulnerable members of the Nigerian society, working with organizations and concerned individuals to facilitate timely interventions for indigent families through the “Change-A-Life” project. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in solidarity with the rest of Africa is an expression of her enduring commitment to continue raising awareness on violence against women and girls.
Funmi Iyanda has won tremendous recognition for her work in the media and for her philanthropic and humanitarian interventions. She is an African Leadership Institute Tutu Fellow and an Aspen Institute African Leadership Initiative fellow. She has been honoured as a Young Global Leader (YGL) 2011 by the World Economic Forum and was recently named one of Forbes 20 Youngest Power Women in Africa.
Africa UNiTE on Kilimanjaro is championed by Tim Challen, a victim of gun-crime in Nairobi who now climbs Kilimanjaro to raise awareness on issues that affect youth in Kenyan and Tanzanian slums. Africa UNiTE is the regional component of the United Nations Secretary General’s Global Campaign and a continent-wide partnership to end all violence against women and girls. Africa UNiTE speaks out in order to prevent violence against women, provide services to survivors and promote justice and end impunity.
