BROTHERS ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING.

Two brothers were arrested by the police for their involvement in the kidnapping of a 12 year-old-boy, whose name was withheld by the police for security reasons. Akinyemi Akinyosoye, 23, and Seun Akinyosoye, 19, allegedly abducted the boy on his way back from school two weeks ago and collected N55 000 ransom from the parents for his release later in the week.

The abducted boy was the key factor that led to the arrest of the kidnappers after Apparently the boy stumbled upon a passport photograph of one of the brothers he had stumbled on while he was a hostage in their apartment at Ojokoro area of Lagos, after his release, the boy gave the photograph to his father who took the issue up with at Ikorodu Police Station, where the elder Akinyosoye was easily identified because of his involvement in another case under investigation at the station.

The police said the brothers had initially demanded for a four million naira ransom from the parents, but the brothers claimed they had only demanded for N100 000, which was meant to “sustain” themselves. The elder of the two brothers said his vehicle, used for car hire business, had been grounded for some time and that they also needed some money to get it back on the road.

The younger one has a secondary school certificate but is unemployed. “It was raining on that day, and we hid somewhere to hide from the rain and the young boy also came there,” said the elder Akinyosoye. “We interviewed him and he told us that his father works in a bank. We didn’t have money to sustain us, so we now said maybe this man can issue some change so that we can repair the vehicle. We told him that he should come and know our place, and that his father would come and pick him.”

The brothers said they eventually collected N55, 000.
That little boy is so smart keeping the picture he found,may God save us from this kidnapping act becoming the order of the day.

SAFETY TIPS.

I got this from Bella Naija and thought to bring it on here,it is very true and we should all follow these safety tips to prevent any mishap oh!

1. Computer Science expert, Dr. Latifa Ayoola Ph.D says, NEVER. Repeat, NEVER share your passwords with anyone you are unmarried to. She says, It might be real cute (or cheesy, depending on who you ask) to share your password with the person you are dating as a show of openness and transparency, STOP IT! It compromises not just your privacy but that of your contacts and whatever sensitive information they may have shared with you. In fact, the same rule should extend to your cell phones and computers. This is not paranoia in anyway, but sheer sensibility.

2. Most of us have passwords that are simple and very easy to remember which also makes them very easy to guess – e.g. Mother’s maiden name, spouse’s other name, favourite city in the world and so forth. Even if you’ll make it simple, always “hybridize” your passwords. This means that you should always use a combination of numbers and text for your passwords. E.g. WhipMyHair1985 or 2000JingleBalls or Scape300Goats

3. Do not overlook those security questions! They’re important too! The default ones are a no-no because anyone who knows you quite well, will probably know what you first phone number was, or the first car you had and so on. However, when you change it to “When did I first eat Akpu?” that makes it a lot trickier for whoever is out to hijack your account.

4. Keep it funny and unpredictable. As a person, I’m quite forgetful. So forgetful that I’ve had to use the “forgot password” option many times. And then, it struck me and I changed one of my passwords to “Jingle Balls” Aha! Who would forget that huh?

Take a moment today, and go through all your emails and change your (weak) passwords and security questions, just in case.

My own even if you are married to the person, am not saying something would happen its just sensible that your passwords are kept to yourselves, the divorce rate is happening like you drink berry blast oh!

HOW ENIOLUWA WAS RETURNED.

At a church service on Sunday at the Fountain of Life Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, father of 10-month-old Enioluwa Odegbaike recounted how the family got him back from the kidnappers.

According to him, they had done everything asked by the kidnappers, yet the kidnappers refused to return the boy. He said that the kidnappers had contacted him severally on the phone promising to release the baby but would again call to postpone until he received a text message on February 26, around 6pm ordering him to get to Benin Republic before 7pm. On arriving at the designated point in Benin Republic, Mr Odegbaike said the kidnappers told him he got there too late and was subsequently diverted to another location. He was told to get to the new location via a commercial motorcycle by 2am in the morning.

He said that a woman also arrived at the same location on a motorcycle with Enioluwa strapped behind her. She was guarded by around 10 men, none of who covered their faces. As Enioluwa was being handed over to Mr Odegbaike, one of kidnappers said to him, “I took care of your boy because you were nice to my staff.” Mr Odegbaike did not state categorically if a ransom was paid, but added that he did “everything they were asked to get Enioluwa back.”

LOL

Mother: Son I am sorry I slept with someone that is not your dad 23 years ago and that person is your real father.

Son: Mum what rubbish! How am I to deal with this? You should be hanged.

Mother: I am sorry he was my first could not just marry him cause we are of different religion. He is on the phone at the moment and wants to speak with his you for the first time ever.

Son: No I am speaking to no one. Mr Alani is the only father I know and so will that be.

Mother: Please don't be so upset. Just talk to him.

Son: I will give him a piece of my mind!
