Kanife


I don’t know about you but I strongly believe that God always speaks to us, it is just that we don’t listen enough. Read Mr. Emeka Kanife’s story below as shared with SUN ONLINE

Mr. Emeka Kanife, one of the survivor of the Onitsha tanker fire disaster warned people who scoop fuel from accident scenes to desist from the act while narrating how he miraculously escaped from the scene of the inferno.

Emeka Kanife, an evangelist, could have been in the number that lost their lives on May 30, 2015, when the petrol tanker conveying fuel upturned at Asaba Park at Upper Iweka and subsequently caught fire. The fire roasted no fewer than 70 people, leaving scores badly burnt. The fire also destroyed many commercial buses and motorcycles and left the lives of some survivors in ruins.

We did not condone lie or pretense from them because robbery is a serious business


According to VANGUARD The three able-bodied youths (pictured above) whose ages range between 18 and 26, will easily pass them for malnourished and ailing individuals, judging by their fragile and seeming innocent and harmless looks. But how wrong that can be. The police in Lagos alleged that they are rather suspected members of a notorious seven-man robbery gang that had been terrorizing Iyana-Ipaja, Dopemu and other areas of the state, including neighbouring Sango-Ota in Ogun state. 

They were arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) last Monday, in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos. Detectives also alleged that the gang had been unleashing mayhem on residents of these areas.

Their method of operation, according to police sources, included, carrying out a house-to-house raid and subjecting their victims to severe beatings at the end of which they were dispossessed of cash and other valuables.
