Law: Mopol Dismissed And Jailed

An Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday sentenced a dismissed Mobile policeman (MOPOL), Omopariola Muritala, 42, to 30 months in prison for unlawfully deserting the force and unlawfully collecting salary.

The convict, who had earlier been found guilty by the police disciplinary committee and dismissed in accordance with the laws of the Police Force, pleaded guilty to the charges.

The prosecutor, Inspector John Idoko, told the committee during the summary trial that the convict was a police officer attached to Police Mobile Force (PMF) 39, Nigeria Police, Osogbo.

According to Idoko, the convict deserted his unit by secretly dropping his police kit and leaving without lawful excuse in December 2012.

“The convict later went ahead to make withdrawals between 2012 and May 2013 to the tune of N230,000 from his police account through the use of his ATM card.

“He (Muritala) was, however, apprehended on July 27, tried, convicted and dismissed by the police disciplinary committee,” he said

Idoko said the convict was charged with desertion and stealing from the force under Section 37(1)(f) of the Police Act, Cap P 19 Laws of Nigeria 2004 and Section 390(9) of Law of Osun 2003.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr Adebayo Lasisi, convicted the accused and sentenced him to six months imprisonment for the offence of desertion, and two years for collecting salary after deserting the force.

He, however, gave him an option to pay N15,000 fine for both terms

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
