patients, attack Lagos
hospital

Five suspected armed robbers, who
disguised as patients, have attacked
a private hospital in the Shibiri,
Ajangbadi area of Lagos State,
carting away valuables.
PUNCH Metro learnt that while three
of the robbers escaped, two suspects
– Babatunde Bamidele and Idowu
Balogun – were apprehended and
taken to the Ajangbadi Police
Division.
Our correspondent gathered that
the incident occurred on Tuesday
around 10pm.
The Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Fatai Owoseni, who did not
disclose the name of the hospital (to
protect it from reprisals), confirmed
the incident, saying efforts were on
to apprehend the fleeing gang
members.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the five
robbers had posed as patients and
requested to see the doctor.
It was said that Bamidele and
Balogun stayed at the hospital’s
gates, while one Yusuf and Ahmed,
said to be among those at large,
entered the doctor’s office, feigning
to be patients who needed medical
attention.
It was learnt that the three,
however, robbed the doctor of
money and phones, which they
passed to the duo at the gate.
Our correspondent learnt that while
the robbery went on, a distress call
was put across by a patient to the
police, and the operatives stormed
the scene.
The two men at the gate were said
to have been arrested, while the
others fled the hospital.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro , 32-year-
old Bamidele, who hails from the
Lagos Island, said it was Ahmed
who invited him “for the job”,
adding that he was given the
doctor’s phones to keep during the
operation.

Footballer Didier Drogba said Thursday he would take legal action against Britain's Daily Mail newspaper

London, United Kingdom - Footballer Didier

Drogba said Thursday he would take legal
action against Britain's Daily Mail newspaper
after it published allegations that most of the
money raised by his charity in Britain was not
going to good causes.
The newspaper reported that less than one
percent of over £1.7 million (2.1 million euros,
$2.4 million) raised by Drogba's charity in the
past five years had gone to help children in
the former Chelsea star's homeland of Ivory
Coast.
It claimed that most of the donations to the
Didier Drogba Foundation had been spent on
glitzy events for celebrity supporters or was
sitting untouched in bank accounts.
Only £14,115 of the cash raised in Britain was
reportedly spent on good causes, the paper
said.
But Drogba -- currently under contract with
Canadian Major League Soccer team Montreal
Impact -- hit back, saying the report had
caused an "untold amount of damage".
"Despite sending legal letters and 67 pages
worth of documents advising the Daily Mail
that their information was factually incorrect
and libellous, they have decided to ignore the
facts so I am issuing legal proceedings
against them today," the footballer said in a
statement issued by his publicist in London.
"There is no fraud, no corruption, no
mismanagement, no lies, no impropriety."
The Charity Commission, Britain's official
charities watchdog, confirmed it would
investigate the claims after being contacted
by the Mail, saying it had "serious regulatory
concerns".
"The commission has concerns about the
administration of the charity and the oversight
provided by trustees, all of whom appear to
live abroad, as well as allegations that the
charity has provided misleading information to
donors and the public," chief operating officer
David Holdsworth said.
"Further, the charity has raised and
accumulated significant sums of money that
have not yet been spent and further
information is required over the plans to
spend those funds," he added.

The referee for Tottenham's game at Stoke on Monday has been switched because he lives in Leicester.

The referee for Tottenham's game at Stoke on
Monday has been switched because he lives in
Leicester.

With leaders Leicester City leading Spurs by
seven points with five Premier League matches
remaining officials felt it was best that Kevin
Friend did not take charge of the game.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited
said the change was made to avoid adding an
"extra scrutiny on the refereeing appointment"
around Friend, who lives in Leicester and has
been to games at the King Power Stadium.
While there is no suggestion of any question over
the official's integrity in his impartial position,
the PGMOL, which does not select Friend for
matches involving his hometown club, felt given
the circumstances it was sensible to move him
to another fixture.
A statement read: "PGMOL has made the
decision to change the referee for the match
between Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur as
Kevin Friend, initially selected for the game, is
from Leicester and has attended matches at
Leicester City in a personal capacity.
"Given the timing and context of this match, it
was felt unnecessary to add extra scrutiny on
the refereeing appointment.
"Neil Swarbrick will referee the match and Friend
will referee Newcastle United v Manchester
City."

Aregbesola calls on Buhari to probe N5.8trillion crude oil theft

Aregbesola calls on Buhari to
probe N5.8trillion crude oil
theft

– Gov Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state has
urged the federal government to investigate
N5.8trillion oil theft under the
PDP administration
–  “As we are condemning corruption, we
should also charge ourselves to be
productive. We should be able to earn our
living as a people.”
Rauf Aregbesola, the governor of Osun state,
has called on President Muhammadu Buhari
to establish a commission of inquiry to probe
those guilty of crude oil theft worth up to
N5.8 trillion under Goodluck Jonathan-led
administration.
The governor made this know during
his meeting with members of the Committee
for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) on
Wednesday in Osogbo. According to the
governor, the country lost 400,000 barrels of
crude oil daily with the previous
government connivance. Presidency responds British paper
Earlier, the CDHR supporters reportedly
staged a protest against corruption and
current economic crisis, while
its representatives handed over a letter to
Mr Aregbesola with suggestions on the
recovered funds and demands for the
president.
Mr Aregbesola, in his turn, commended the
group for joining President Muhammadu
Buhari in his fight against corruption and
recovering of funds looted from the public
treasury.
The governor said: “In the middle of 2013 a
party at the helms of affairs of our country told
us that four hundred thousand barrels of
crude oil were stolen on a regular basis for 24
months, we never heard that it stopped for that
period. What we have lost is N5.8 trillion to an
unprotected crude oil theft in 24 months.
We can imagine how many roads, schools and
quality of electricity we could get from such
amount. I am not underestimating your
demands but you still need to add to your
demand requesting how the country lost
400,000 barrels of crude oil everyday.”
He also touched on the issue of poor
productivity in the country saying: “Aside
from corruption, what is actually affecting the
country is low productivity, as we are
condemning corruption, we should also charge
ourselves to be productive.
We should be able to earn our living as a
people. I promise to deliver this your letter to
the President when he comes back from China
and I will let him know how passionate you
are on the war against corruption.”
