A Nigerian man identified as Israel Joe, has revealed how his friend, Roseline, died after she was pushed into a boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by her two female friends in Sapele, Delta State.

Joe stated that Roseline, a caterer, went on a trip with her friends to Sapele for a catering job where she tragically passed away on Saturday, April 13.

In a Facebook post on Friday, Joe said that before her untimely death, Roseline confided in him about two of her friends who were treating her coldly.

He urged the Nigeria Police to investigate and arrest the killers of Roseline, pointing out that no progress has been made in the case since her murder.

Joe’s post read, “She was pushed into a big boiling pot of fresh pepper and tomatoes by her friend on Saturday, 13th April. She battled for about two weeks with her roasted/boiled body and finally ḍíęɗ last week Friday 26th April.

“Nobody in the neighborhood in Otokutu knew Roseline had been allegedly kíIIed by these same friends. She was buried with no one to bid her goodbye and with no single bųríaI poster to honour her. Just two days in the morgue, the mørtųarƴ attendants demanded she be carried away to be buried.

“She traveled with them for a catering job in Sapele where they were speaking their local language with this Yoruba girl, Rozzy, not understanding their conversation.

“All of a sudden, she landed in a very big pot of boiling fresh pepper and tomatoes where they even still delayed in rescuing her. She was later rushed to Sage Hospital by Estate in Warri, where they managed the situation, but my friend couldn’t make it.”

Joe said he was pained that those responsible for her death were still walking free.

He added, “What pains me is that these two girls are still walking and gallivanting everywhere like nothing happened. I hate intimidation and oppression, especially against non-indigenous persons. The police must smoke them out so they can face the law. Na God dey help who nor get helper.

E“We shall fight for Rozzy. You can not just be kíIIęɗ like a chicken and bųřried like an aŋímąl. Nobody deserves such a hørribIe dęąth. We never got to meet Rose, only chatting on Facebook due to endless busy schedules only to see you, at the most disgusting sight at Sage Hospital, hoping for your recovery, but dęąțĥ stole you Justice shall prevail, including if you would be exhumed.”

Naziru Idris Yau, a journalist with Abubakar Rimi Television (ARTV), has been hit by a stray bullet inside the government house in Kano state.

TheCable understands that the incident occurred around 6:30pm on Friday during an event to mark the World Press Freedom Day.

The management of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Keffi, Nasarawa state, has dismissed two officials of the hospital over the allegation of job racketeering.

Speaking with journalists on Friday, Yahaya Adamu, chief medical director (CMD) of the hospital, said some other officials were also suspended for similar offences.

Adamu said the management set up a committee to probe the allegation, noting that nine persons were placed under searchlight.

He said the committee, under his chairmanship, had a statutory representative of the federal ministry of health and members of relevant unions, who served as observers.

“The investigation was done in the open and having concluded our work, we forwarded our recommendations to the minister since the board of the hospital is yet to be constituted,” NAN quoted Adamu as saying.

“The recommendations were modified and a final position was taken over all those accused of job racketeering and others accused of committing other offences.

“Nine staff were affected and all of them were tried based on their levels of involvement. Only one of them was found not guilty.

“So, there was nobody who was guilty that was not punished and those who were suspected to be guilty but for one reason or the other, their cases have not been concluded and were asked to remain until we conclude their matter.

“For anybody to say we allowed some of the accused persons to resume work after these steps that have been taken is unfair.”

The chief medical director said Peter Dare, one of the dismissed officials was found to be the arrowhead of the job racketeering syndicate.

He said Dare was immediately sacked, while the appointment of the other official was terminated.

“When somebody is dismissed, it means he will never work for any government institution in Nigeria again and that’s what we did to the one who is the ring leader of this criminal syndicate,” he added.

“The second person was remorseful and considering her level of involvement, we terminated her appointment. In other words, she can still seek employment elsewhere but of course, she has left FMC Keffi forever.”

The CMD vowed to eliminate job racketeering in the hospital by ensuring proper checks and balances, adding that measures have been adopted to provide quality services in the facility.
