Photo: We Didn’t Rob; We Only Collected Our Dues - Robbers Tell Police!
According to Punch, the ten-man gang, with other members still at large, raided mostly shops of phone dealers, stealing 70 smartphones and Ipads which were worth about N1.5m.
When interrogated, one of the suspects, 35 year old father of three, Onyenge Osanie said
"We usually work with phone dealers in the market who specialise in selling stolen phones. When we steal, they sell, and they then settle us. But later on, some of them defaulted, and we attacked their shops. It was not as if we robbed them, we only came to ask for our money. On that day, we had taken only 10 phones before the police apprehended us. I had initially escaped, but two gang members who were caught at the scene later brought the police to arrest me." he said
Another gang member, 27-year-old Eboh said he joined the gang because of his unemployment status "What we learnt initially was that a market chairman was coming to give out money but he later failed to show up. That was when we decided to deal with the traders. When we got to the shops, we broke their glasses and carted away expensive phones. I joined the gang because I did not have a job. I have been living in hardship with my family."he said
Another gang members, 22 year old Michael who claims to be an ex truck driver said their robbery act wasn't deliberate
"I was working as a truck driver before I met them. I had gone out with the gang on three occasions to rob in the market. We only took advantage of the commotion of the market to rob them. It was not deliberate," he said.
Police Public Relations officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu while confirming their arrest, said investigation is going on the matter.

16yr Old Student Arrested For Insulting Turkish President!
The boy, identified by his initials M.E.A., was believed to be a member of a leftist organisation, the Hurriyet newspaper reported.
He delivered a speech on Wednesday in the central Anatolian city of Konya, a bastion of Erdogan's Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP), in memory of a young secular teacher killed by Islamists in 1930, according to the newspaper.
The boy, who was arrested by police at school, is now facing up to four years in prison if convicted on the charge.
It was the latest controversial arrest in Turkey in recent weeks. Recent police raids on media outlets affiliated with Erdogan's top foe, the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, sparked an angry exchange with the European Union, which said the arrests undermined media freedom.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu supported the court's decision on the juvenile's arrest.
"Everyone must respect the office of president whoever he is," Davutoglu said, quoted in Turkish media.
In his testimony to prosecutors, the boy denied links with any political party and said that the local governor's office granted permission for the commemoration ceremony organised through social media.
"I've made the statement in question. I have no intent to insult," he reportedly said.
The boy's lawyer, Baris Ispir, submitted a petition to the court, together with around 100 colleagues who came from Istanbul in a show of support.
"Even if he is convicted, he is 16 years old which requires a one-third reduction in his penalty," the lawyer said, according to the private Dogan news agency.
Riza Turmen, lawmaker of the secular opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), denounced the arrest as a violation of the UN charter on children's rights.
"Regimes taking children out of classes by police force and putting them in jail are fascist regimes," Turmen, a former judge at the European Court of Human Rights, wrote on Twitter.
"This goes against the UN charter on children's rights."
Turkey's government faced an unprecedented wave of protests in 2013 against what was seen as authoritarian policies from Erdogan, who was then prime minister.
The AKP government was shaken by a vast corruption scandal last December that dragged down four ministers facing accusations of bribery and influence-peddling.
Erdogan, who was elected president in August, angrily accused his former ally-turned-foe Gulen of concocting the graft scandal.
Thirty people were arrested in raids earlier this month against those deemed to have links to Gulen.
Most have now been released but a court has remanded in custody on terrorism charges the head of the pro-Gulen Samanyolu TV and three former police chiefs. It also issued an arrest warrant for Gulen himself.
In power since 2003, Erdogan has brought relative stability to Turkey after years of rocky coalition governments and an economic meltdown in 2001.
But what critics describe as his increasingly authoritarian style and zero-tolerance of criticism have proved a major test for democracy in the country which has long sought to join the European Union.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday joined Christians to celebrate Christmas in a service held at St. Matthew's Anglican Church, Maitama, Abuja.He was accompanied to the service by his wife, Patience; his mother, Eunice, top government officials including ministers and other members of the Federal Executive Council.In a short remark, the President urged politicians to watch their utterances ahead of the 2015 general elections.

Nicholas Okoh, in his sermon titled "The Jewish messianic expectations and 2015 elections," taken from Isaiah 61 urged those who seek political offices at all levels to be aware that Nigerians have huge expectations from them.He said their decisions, when they finally get the positions they are seeking, should be guided by such expectations.He further urged them to be concerned about the total wellbeing of the people.
Obasanjo Is A Shameless lair! Wole Soyinka Slams Obasanjo Over His New Book.
"For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him.""He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful "aparo" (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic, not to talk of what he would do as a politician," adding "I take him seriously on almost all issues except on the political particularly Nigerian politics.
Reacting, in a piece titled, 'Watch And Pray, Watch And Prey', Prof. Soyinka described Obasanjo as an expert in telling lies and a shameless man.
"I despise that species of humanity whose stock-in-trade is to concoct lies simply to score a point, win an argument, puff up his or her own ego, denigrate or attempt to destroy a fellow being.
"However, even within such deplorable species, a special pit of universal opprobrium is surely reserved for those who even lack the courage of their own lies, but must foist them on others."
For now, let me single out just one of the most glaring instances of this man's compulsive career of lying, one sample that the media can readily check upon and use as a touchstone – if they do need one – in assessing our author's multifaceted claims and commentaries on people and events.
"I refer here to the grotesque and personally insulting statement that he has attributed to me for some inscrutable but obviously diversionary reasons.
"In the process, this past Master of Mendacity brazenly implicates an innocent young man, Akin Osuntokun, who once served him as a special adviser. Instead of conferring dignity on a direct rebuttal of an ignoble fabrication, I shall simply make a personal, all-embracing attestation:
"When an old man stuffs a lie into the throat of an age-mate of his own children – omo inu e! – we can only pity an irredeemable egomaniac whose dotage is headed for twilight disgrace."
He continued
"In this season of goodwill, we owe a duty to our immediate and distant neighbours: CAVEAT EMPTOR! Let all beware, who try to buy a Rolex from this indefatigable watch peddler," he said.
"Our author invokes God tirelessly, without provocation, without necessity and without justification, perhaps pre-emptively, but does he really believe in such an entity? Does our home-bred Double-O-Seven believe in anything outside his own Omnipotence?
"Could he possibly have mistaken the Christian exhortation – 'Watch and Pray' for his private inclination to "Watch and Prey?""This is a seasoned predator on others' achievements – he preys on their names, their characters, their motivations, their true lives, preys on gossip and preys on facts, preys on contributions to collective undertakings…..even preys on their identities, substituting his own where possible,"

Dangote Loses $7.8 Billion As Naira, Stocks Plunge!
A few weeks ago, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, announced a nearly 10% devaluation of the Naira, Nigeria's currency, after admitting that a plunge in world oil prices and dwindling dollar reserves were making it difficult to defend the value of the currency. The Naira is now trading at N187 to $1, compared to N165 in November. In dollar terms, the devaluation has knocked more than $40 billion off the value of Nigeria's economy.
Dangote is the biggest loser among Nigeria's richest people as the Naira's slump, coupled with falling stock prices, has erased more than $7.8b of his fortune since Feb, when Forbes locked in the values for its annual ranking of the World's Billionaires.
Dangote was worth $25 billion at the time; as of market close on Tuesday, he's worth $17.2 billion. More than half of the drop in his fortune has happened since early November. As of Nov. 7, Dangote was worth $21.6 billion, $4.4 billion more than now.
Here's why: The last few weeks have been a bit of a disaster for many companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Several blue-chip stocks such as Dangote Cement, Zenith Bank, Transcorp and United Bank of Africa among several others have hit one-year-lows as a result of the fall in oil prices, a general uncertainty regarding the 2015 general elections, Central Bank regulatory headwinds, and weak earnings from large cap companies. These have all contributed toward putting naira-denominated assets including equities at risk.
After Dangote, the second biggest loser among Nigeria's ultra-rich is Tony Elumelu, the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, an investment company. Heirs Holdings, which is wholly-owned by Elumelu, is the controlling shareholder in Transcorp, a publicly-listed conglomerate with interests in power production, hotels and agriculture. Transcorp's current market capitalization is now $700 million, down from $1.4 billion at the beginning of November. Heirs Holdings has lost an estimated $345 million in paper value on Transcorp, and its stake in the company as at Monday is now worth roughly $400 million, down from $700 million. Elumelu's investments in other listed companies like UBA, Africa Prudential PLC and UBA Capital have shed a little over $27 million in value.
Other big losers include Nigerian multi-millionaire banker Jim Ovia, a co-founder of Zenith Bank. The value of his stake in the financial services provider is $240 million as of late Monday, down from more than $350 million last month. He owns a 9% stake in the bank.
