Indian hemp seller jailed for stabbing customer

An illicit drug dealer, identified as Wale Gbadebo, who specializes in selling Indian hemp in Lagos, has been jailed after he stabbed one of his drug addict Customers, Temilade Lawal, who stole some wraps of narcotics from his store.

 Gbadebo's Journey to prison started on a faithful day when he caught Lawal, one of his customers, stealing his drugs from his store and he was said to have angrily used a knife to stab him severally.

Lawal, was said to have bled profusely before he was rushed to the hospital for treatment and the matter was later reported to the Police.

It was learnt that the 49- years old illicit drug dealer was eventually arrested at Isolo area of Lagos, where he is notoriously known for selling Indian hemp to his clients including criminals.

After his arrest, Gbadebo was detained at Isolo Police Division for interrogation over his conduct.

According to Police sources, he admitted to have committed the alleged offence because he never expected he would go where he kept the hemp to steal despite the fact he knew he was a criminal.

The Police found him culpable and subsequently charged him before the Isolo Magistrates Court for assault and he pleaded guilty before the Court.

The prosecutor, Mr Oje Uagbale, during his trial told the Court that the accused person deals on India hemp, which he hid somewhere, where the victim went and stole some wraps, which prompted him to stab the victim, with a knife.

The prosecutor asked the Court to sentence him accordingly, since he admitted before the Court by pleading guilty, to serve as deterrent to others who may want to commit such offence.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O. A. Akokhia, found him guilty as charged and he was sentenced to one year imprisonment without an option of fine for assault.

He was thereafter taken to Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, where he will serve his term.

Man impregnates teenage wife’s sister

Confusion is said to have overwhelmed the family of Majiyagbe Gabriel, after he was discovered to have impregnated his wife and her 17 years old sister.

While the wife is said to be carrying a 6 months pregnancy, her 17 years old sister, is 4 months pregnant, after she was allegedly raped by her elder sister's husband, Gabriel.

Our source reports that when the wife of the 32-year old Gabriel Majiyagbe brought her 17-year old sister to live with them in her matrimonial home in Lagos, she never knew that she had taken a decision that will later break her heart and her marriage.

Her husband, Gabriel, allegedly lured the victim, then placed her on oath not to disclose and started sleeping with her.

"The girl is now four months pregnant while his wife is about six months pregnant too".

The Police at Ipaja Division arrested the man, Gabriel, for defilement and detained him. He was later transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Command.

The incident happened at Majiyagbe Compound in Ipaja area of Lagos, where they reside.

The residents were still in shock over the act after the matter was reported to the Police when it was discovered the victim was pregnant.

According to the complainant, Saheed Akintoye, the health condition of the girl was deteriorating and she was taken to the hospital where pregnancy test was conducted and it was positive.

When she was interrogated to know who was responsible, she mentioned the man, Gabriel, as the person that impregnated her.

The girl, who started living with them last year, revealed that the man, Gabriel, placed her on blood oath after he used a razor blade to cut their hands that she will not meet or marry another man except him and she did so without knowing the consequences.

When the neighbours confronted Gabriel, he confessed that he was in love with the girl and wanted to join her as his second wife and that was why he placed her on oath.

However, Gabriel’s action has landed him in big trouble as he was arrested and is facing the charge for defilement, which attracts life imprisonment if he is tried and found guilty before the Court.

When our Correspondent visited Ipaja Police Division to speak with the suspect, the DPO was said to have gone to the Area P Command for an official duty.

But Police sources stated that the suspect has been transferred to the Gender Section of the Lagos State Command for further investigation over the alleged dastardly act.

The man’s wife, who was said to have been lamenting over the ugly incident, regretted ever bringing her sister to her matrimonial home as she might eventually lose her husband, who may likely bag life imprisonment in custody if he is found culpable for the alleged offence.
