Prof. jailed 40 years for graft in Ibadan

A Professor of Agriculture, Benjamin Ogunmodede of Institute of Agricultural Research and Training (IART), was yesterday sentenced to 40 years’ imprisonment without an option of fine by a Federal High Court in Ibadan.

Two others, Zacchaeus Tejumola and Adenekan Clement, also got the same sentence.

Prof. Ogunmodede, also a reverend in Anglican Church, is the former director-general of IART, Apata, Ibadan. Tejumade and Adenekan were chief accountant and employee of the institution.

They were charged with 16- count on conspiracy, unlawful conversion, stealing of school subvention and others, in 2011.

Justice Ayo Emmanuel sentenced the accused to four years per charge. He said the 40 years sentence would run concurrently.

The convicts were said to have diverted over N177 million from the N600million received as subvention from the Federal Government to pay workers’ salaries and execute projects.

The court was told that they did not follow due process in executing some of the projects.

The judgment indicated that the defendants said they used part of the money to bribe members of the House of Representatives and officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance after they facilitated the release of the fund.

Addressing reporters after the judgment, the leading counsel to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nkereuwem Anana, said the judgment was an indication that the fight against corruption was on.

He hailed the court for the judgment, saying it would act as a deterrent to others.

A suspected Boko Haram insurgent, Bashir Mohammed, who was arrested last weekend in Isua-Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State, has confessed to killing two persons since he joined the group two years ago.

Mohammed, who was arrested by anti-riot policemen, said his friends in Nasarawa State introduced the group to him.

The 20-year-old was arrested while looking for a cafeteria with his colleagues in preparation for an operation. He has been handed over to the Army.

Mohammed said he relocated from Nasarawa to Ondo State with his younger brother, who is also a member of the group, after some successful operations.

He added that his colleagues were in Nasarawa and some northern states, but some of them relocated to the Southwest, including Ondo State.

Commissioner of Police Gbenga Adeyanju, who paraded the suspect, said the Army would take over the matter. He will be prosecuted, he said.

Adeyanju said the commitment of the police command led to the arrest of the two suspected Boko Haram members held in the state in the last one week.

Adeyanju urged the public to inform the police of any strange movements in their areas, adding that the police cannot do it alone.

See What Killed The 25yr-old Bodybuilder, Sam Standerwick

In what will come across as a really tragic development, a bodybuilder has died in his sleep just days before proposing to his girlfriend.

A truly devastated father has told the story of how his ultra-healthy 25-year-old, Sam Standerwick, son died in his sleep just days before he was due to propose to his girlfriend.

According to The Sun UK, Sam Standerwick, from Llanddulas in Conwy, north Wales, returned to his hotel following a night out with pals in Liverpool when he fell asleep and didn’t wake up.

An inquest has now found that he died of heart failure – despite being a healthy young man – because of a 70% blockage in his coronary artery.

Dad Adrian Standerwick, speaking to Wales Online, said: “His heart just didn’t have enough power to keep going and just stopped beating in his sleep.

“We just couldn’t believe it. We had nine weeks to wait for the inquest and it was driving us crazy thinking ‘What is this?’

“Did someone inject him with drugs? Was it a brain aneurysm?

“He had gone to sleep and just never woken up.

“It’s heartbreaking. If I knew then what I know now Sam would still be here.”

An inquest heard that Sam, who worked with his dad, had been suffering from heart palpitations before his death, on December 17.

The loved-up couple were set to be engaged, further adding to the family heartbreak

Adrian said: “The night before he was suffering from heart palpitations, something he had been saying about for a little while every now and again.

“My wife said to him ‘You need to get checked over. I will book you an appointment at the doctor’s for tomorrow’.

“He said ‘I’m out with the lads in Liverpool tomorrow, I will do it next week’. He got ready to go out to Liverpool.

“He said ‘Love you mum, love you dad, see you tomorrow’ and went on his night out. The next day Kim, his girlfriend, phoned us asking if we had heard from him.”

The worried family called the hotel, and were told by the manager that police were at the premises because of a serious incident.

Cops later arrived at the family’s home to tell them that Sam had passed away.

The family then discovered that Sam was planning on proposing to his girlfriend, Kim Fisher, after finding an engagement ring in his possessions.

Since Sam’s tragic death, Kim has posted on social media saying that he is her “guardian angel” and that she misses him “more than words can describe”.

Adrian added: “It’s not something where you wake up one day and everything is rosy.

“I wake up and for a split second I forget. Then I realise I will never see my son again.

“It’s become a physical pain, as if someone is punching you really hard in the chest, and you feel that you have to do something or you’ll just curl up and die.

“Our family motto is: ‘We have been seriously knocked down but we’re not staying down. We are coming back at you.’”

The family have now set up the Sam Standerwick Memorial Fund, which has raised £20,000 and hopes to have 200 people screened in February next year for heart problems in north Wales.

Sam’s family, including mum Deb and children Simon, Matthew, and Amy, hope that by doing this they can prevent similar deaths.
