I Collected N15,000, Says Vigilante Who Trafficked Schoolgirl To Burkina Faso - Crime -

A member of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Ikorodu branch, Rasheed Salau, who allegedly trafficked a schoolgirl to Burkina Faso, says he was paid N15,000.

The Sagamu, Ogun State indigene, claimed that he was not aware that the 14-year-old would be turned into a sex worker.

He explained that he sent her to work with his mother, who owned a beer parlour in the West African country.

PUNCH Metro had reported that the schoolgirl, Risikatu Uthman, was declared missing after she followed a boyfriend on an outing in June 2018.

Although the boyfriend, a motor boy, denied knowledge of her whereabouts, he was arrested and arraigned in court.

After about two months, Risikatu was brought home by a Good Samarithan, who found her in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

Risikatu had told our correspondent that as she was returning home, she was abducted by Rasheed, who claimed to be a policeman.

She alleged that together with eight other girls, they were trafficked to Burkina Faso, where they were forced into prostitution.

The 14-year-old said she was rescued by the police and taken to the Nigerian embassy, from where she found her way back to Nigeria.

Policemen attached to the Ikorodu area command subsequently arrested the suspect.

During a chat with PUNCH Metro at the state police command headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday, Rasheed said he was a member of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, and a bricklayer.

He said, “I met her (Risikatu) at my friend’s place. I asked her why she left her parents’ house and she said her parents chased her away from home to look for work.

“I asked her what she wanted to do and she said she was not ready to return home. I showed her my grandmother’s shop and told her to see me later.

“She came the following day, but she did not meet me. Later, we met and I asked her what she wanted. She said she wanted to work.

“I asked if she could work at my grandma’s shop or in another country and she said she did not mind working outside the country. I told her that my mother ran a beer parlour in Burkina Faso and asked if she would assist her. She said there was no work she would not do. I did not force her. She was at my place for three days.”

When our correspondent asked how much his mother sent to him for the suspect, he said N15,000, adding that he used part of the money to buy clothes and shoes for Risikatu.

He denied that he abducted the victim with eight other young girls, saying the victim wanted to frame him for kidnapping.

Rasheed also said he did not know that his mother was into prostitution.

“She (Risikatu) was not held against her will. In fact, she followed my wife to her workplace and returned in the evening.

“She did not spend more than three days in Burkina Faso before the police arrested her because she left the place where she was working.

“I did not know that they were looking for her at home. I did not also know that her boyfriend was arrested over her disappearance,” he added.

The suspect’s father said he had been separated from the mother for over six years, adding that he was disgusted at the incident.

“I never knew about this incident until I was told that my son had been arrested and would be taken to court. I live in Agbado. His mother moved to Ikorodu and suddenly travelled to Burkina Faso. I don’t have her contact. After I waited for her for three years and did not see her, I remarried. I don’t know how he (Rasheed) got her phone number,” he said.

The grandma, who claimed to be a civil servant with the Lagos State Government, also said she last saw her daughter (Rasheed’s mother) five years ago.

Risikatu, while reacting to the suspect’s claim, insisted that she was trafficked along with other girls.

She identified a Yoruba girl among them as Aminat, adding that the others were indigenes of Delta and Edo states.

“He is lying. We were in his house and he locked us up,” she said.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said the suspect would be arraigned at the end of investigation, adding that no stone would be left unturned.

'We will vehemently dismantle all APC rigging machinery in future elections' - PDP

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a statement ahead of the Osun State governorship election in September saying, 'we will vehemently dismantle all APC rigging machinery in future elections beginning with the Osun governorship election next month'.

According to the party, 'now that it has become manifest to Nigerians and all parties that the APC is only interested in rigging elections brazenly, we will henceforth contend with APC, head to head, means to means, scheme to scheme, shenanigan for shenanigan, in all ramifications and magnitude'.

'We take very strong consideration of the open boasts and chest-thumping on the use of thugs by officials of the Buhari Presidency and the APC, particularly on their rigging of the Ekiti governorship and the federal bye-elections in Bauchi, Katsina and Kogi states. Consequently, we direct all our state governors, officials at state and zonal chapters, national and state assembly members and all other elected leaders, to get ready to move into Osun state and provide all necessary support for Sen. Adeleke ahead of the forthcoming election' the party said.

10 Reasons Why You Failed That Interview Before It Even Ended - Jobs/Vacancies -

Provided below are the 10 most common reasons for HR Managers to reject applicants during the interview. I have added some thoughts on how to avoid these common pitfalls.

1. Unfamiliar with CV.

Amazingly, some applicants are surprised by a question that the interviewer asks regarding information on their CV. An applicant may have forgotten that a particular statement was on their CV. This is very embarrassing and not very impressive.

Corrective action: Know your cv thoroughly and be able to defend every statement made on it.

2. Poor academic performance.

It’s too late to change your grades now. Be prepared for questions on your grades and have a well-thought out response. One-half of engineers, lawyers, teachers and accountants graduated in the bottom half of their classes. The GPA is not a true measure of what you learned nor is it an indicator of how intelligent you are.

Corrective action: Throughout the entire interview, demonstrate your knowledge so you appear “smarter” than your GPA might indicate. But don’t overdo it. Remember to be yourself.

3. Insufficient knowledge of industry.

Employers vary here on what to expect. In financial services, this is extremely important. In most other industries, the importance diminishes. It is always important to remember that you want to impress the interviewer more than the other applicants.

Corrective action: Research the company, the industry, competitors, and industry trends. Keep in mind, it is important to know the future of the industry regarding its growth, international competition and profitability, just to name a few factors. Information on the industry is very easy to find on the Internet. Invest 2-3 hours and you will appear much more impressive and confident in the interview.

4. Lack of leadership skills.

Employers do differ on the requirement for leadership skills depending on the position that is being filled. One thing is for certain— previous leadership always makes the applicant more valuable.

Corrective action: Explain in the interview how you demonstrated leadership in a job, club, organization, volunteer organization, class project or study team. Employers want to hire future leaders, so most will look for past leadership.

5. Lack of career focus.

This interview misstep results from the applicant’s inability to demonstrate how the open position is of interest, or more importantly, how this job fits into their career plan for the next 10 years. In other words, there is a lack of career planning.

Corrective action: The applicant needs to do more research on the position and the related career paths. Discussions with alumni or others who do this job will be helpful in making the decision to pursue this line of work and will make you more informed. The Internet again is a source of information on specific careers.

6. Insufficient interest in employer.

Companies need to know the specific reasons why you have chosen to interview with them. Reasons do not include: “you are a big company, you are profitable, you are located in Calabar, you have a job opening.” These answers do not distinguish this company from hundreds of other employers in Calabar.

Corrective action: The answer again starts with researching the company. What does the company say about itself? Can you talk to employees of the company? If so, ask them why they chose to work for this company? What do they like most about the company?

7. Ineffective communication style or skills.

An applicant is usually faulted for this when they ramble on with their answers, appearing unfocused or ill-prepared.

Corrective action: Concise statements are extremely important here. A simple way to follow in answering your questions is: L-RODS, which stands for: Listen. Reflect. Organize. Deliver. Shut up.

8. Low level of enthusiasm.

Applicants appear this way when they demonstrate very little vitality.

Corrective action: Demonstrate that you are glad to be in the interview and that you are excited about this job opportunity and employer. You will be expected to be highly enthusiastic on the job, so you need to demonstrate the same or more in the interview process.

9. Negative attitude.

We all know negative people and most of us choose not to associate with them. Employers feel exactly the same, and they wish to fill jobs with positive people full of ideas who want to work together with others to help the company.

Corrective action: Even when you have had a bad experience with a past employer or professor, you should give the explanation a positive twist.

10. Failure to sell self.

Recruiters often ask themselves this question at the end of the interview: “Why should I hire this person?” The reasons you give will be thoroughly accessed.

Corrective action: Give five specific reasons, with evidence for each, why you should be hired. Remember, all prospective employees can state that they are hard workers, learn quickly, and are effective team players. Interviewers are skeptical of your opinions about yourself, unless you offer substantial evidence to convince the interviewer. What type of evidence can you use?

• Comments made in past performance evaluations by a supervisor

• Comments by customers

• Grade Point Average

• Awards for achievements or recognition

• Goals achieved

All of these can be beneficial in ‘proving’ your claims.

This information should help you prepare for future interviews. Good luck in passing your next interview test!
