Nigerian Man Arraigned In UK Court For Stealing Mobile Phones

A 27 year old Nigerian man, Oloruntoba Adisa who worked as a bouncer in clubs in the UK has been arraigned before a UK court for stealing phones from clients who came to the club where he worked.

According to Manchester Evening News, Oloruntoba has a history with the UK law enforcement officers with crimes bordering on stealing phones and money from some club goers. Few months ago, Oloruntoba was caught on CCTV stealing a Samsung S3 and £90 from a woman who had come clubbing. He hid the items in his coat and a search carried out by the club management showed he had 2 iphones stolen from other customers hidden in his coat.
Some months ago, he reportedly stole a man’s phone and called the man afterwards demanding for £150 in exchange for his phone. He was convicted in 2005 for stealing from his employee. Police believe Oloruntoba had sold over 300 phones on online market, Gumtree.
He now works in customer services for Transport for Greater Manchester and Judge David Hernandez, sentencing, sought assurances that he would not be in contact with customer’s property.
Giving him six-months jail, suspended for a year, with 40 hours unpaid work, and an order to pay £500 compensation to his latest victim, Judge Hernandez told him: “I hadn’t thought I’d be seeing you again. But here you are, standing in the dock in relation to another offence of theft of a mobile phone”.

Lagos State Government Tuesday, affirmed that the indefinite closure of Lagos State University, LASU, following the crisis rocking the institution will continue until the unions, students and management agree to maintain peace henceforth.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai Olugoga, who made the remarks at a news briefing in Alausa, Ikeja, warned that government would no longer tolerate indiscipline on the parts of the students, lecturers and other stakeholders in the institution.
However, Olukoga said it is wrong for the students and staff to demand for the sack of Vice Chancellor of LASU, since his appointment was based on merit and due process.

He explained: “LASU was established by law, which gave the management, the governing council board to run the university. When there is a problem that they cannot resolve, that is when it is brought to the Governor for him to intervene. So let’s get that clear. we don’t just dabble into LASU crisis because we have a statutory Governing Council who are competent and capable to handle matters of the University.
“The crisis in LASU is that, you cannot dictate to your employer to sack anybody. When they came that they don’t want the Vice Chancellor, we said, look, it is wrong for you to say that we should send the VC parking. That if you want to do convocation or anything in LASU, you must appoint an Acting VC.
“Imagine if you run a company by yourself and somebody you employed, wakes up one day and says you should sack the MD, or somebody who the CEO employed and the person rose from the rank and he got there because he’s a unionist and then he got there and he says sack the CEO. I think we have to have a rethink.
“The problem of LASU is just overbearance of our unions both the lecturers, the management and the students.
“ So the delay in opening the school is the fault of LASU Union and Students Union, unless they go back and have a sense of reasoning before the school will be reopened.”
The Special Adviser also said 19 Lecturers in LASU were found to have questionable Doctorate degrees noting 17 of them have been cleared before a panel except the Chairman LASU-Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, Chapter “who decided to go to court.”
He also blamed the delay in the reimbursement of hike in school fees of LASU students on inconsistency on the part of the management of the institution.
