26yr old Nigerian, Olutosin Oduwole, Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison in the US for Terrorist Threat

 

A 26yr old Nigerian, Olutosin Oduwole, was on Wednesday December 21, sentenced to five years in prison in Madison County, for writing what prosecutors say was a note demanding money and threatening a Virginia Tech-like killing spree.

A jury convicted the former Southern Illinois University student in October of attempting to make a terrorist threat and unauthorized possession or storage of a weapon.

The judge sided with jurors in dismissing Oduwole's claim that he was an aspiring rapper, and that the threatening words were innocent lyrical musings. He was sentenced to five years on the threat charge and a year on the weapons charge to be served concurrently.

The threat note was found in Tosin's abandoned car by cops in July 2007, just a few months after the Virginia Tech massacre. The writing demanded payment to a PayPal account, threatening "if this account doesn't reach $50,000 in the next 7 days then a murderous rampage similar to the VT shooting will occur at another highly populated university. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!

The aspiring rapper insisted in court that he "did not mean to incite fear. That was never my intention. That is not my character." But he failed to convince the court the writing was innocent lyrics and other musings. Also, unfortunately for him, when they searched his on-campus dorm when he was arrested, cops found a loaded gun.

Is it a good idea to set up a business with your boyfriend?

I can set up a business with my husband, the father of my children, if anything goes wrong between us, the business still belongs to the the children. But a boyfriend? A boyfriend? No sir, not going to happen!

In March 2009, Bunmi Olaye set up a luxury fashion and art label with the love of her life, Francis Udom. They called it Bunmi Koko. For two and a half years the label won several awards, featured in several fashion shows around the world, had their clothes worn by important dignitaries, including Michelle Obama. They seemed unstoppable.

But on December 6th 2011, the Bunmi Koko label announced that co-founder, Bunmi Olaye was stepping down from the label, which already has operational business subsidiaries in the UK, SA and South America.

I hear the hardworking fashionista is planning to start her own independent label...thing is, after all the work she put in for almost three years to make Bunmi Koko a household name, she now has to start all over again.

So I ask; is it a good idea, as a woman, to set up a business with a boyfriend?

Mama G, is that you? Wow!!!

Following the Tuesday robbery incident at the Okene branches of of Guaranty Trust Bank, United Bank for Africa and Intercontinental Bank, commercial banks in the area have adjusted their time of operation from 9:30 a.m to 1.00 p.m.
A notice pasted at the entrance and inside the banking hall of GTBank attributed the adjustment to the Tuesday robbery incident and said that the new operating hours would be in place until further directive from security agencies.
Our correspondent observed that tight security measures had been introduced at UBA, Intercontinental and other banks in the city as customers were seen being subjected to a thorough screening before being allowed in.
Meanwhile, the Police in Lokoja on Wednesday said that they are on the trail of members of a robbery gang that robbed the branches of G.T. Bank, UBA and Intercontinental Bank in Okene on Tuesday.
The Kogi Police command spokesman, Mr Ajayi Okasanmi, who confirmed the incidence to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said that detectives had been detailed to fish out the suspects, assuring that the fleeing robbers would soon be arrested.
Okasanmi disclosed that the police had yet to make any arrest but working seriously on clues that might lead to the early arrest of the suspects, as the suspects were unable to cart away money from any of the the banks.
He assured the residents that adequate security arrangements had been made for their safety before, during and after the yuletide period, as there was no reason for anybody to live in fear.
Okasanmi said that armed policemen had been deployed to all the sensitive points in Lokoja and other major towns in the state while security in bank premises had also been beefed up. (NAN)
