Two Nigerians jailed in Italy, other three on the run

Ubeba and Ebo remain in jail: so yesterday morning the investigating magistrate Silvia Marini decided, confirming the arrest and deciding the detention in the cell for attempted murder for Lucky Antonhy Odianose, 31, said Ubeba and the other arrested by the police Igbinosa Irabor, 29 years, said Ebo, for the ambush with machete of via Morata, Ferrara, in the Gad area, of last July 30 to one of their compatriots, for a regulation of accounts.

If the two remain in prison, three other Nigerians are now sought in half of Europe accused of the ambush to Stephen Oboh, their victim who remained three days in a coma for the blows received at the head with at least two machetes and an iron chain.

Two of them are already in France, according to the findings of the investigation, escaped from Ferrara. They are Henry Arehobor, 27, said Threeman and Emanuel Emakhu, called Shube or Papa Joe, 26, while the third Kingsly Okoase, 23, called Oje, has lost his track, even by telephone, in the sense that he has not had more contact with all the others in his band.

The band of Arobaga, which includes all 5 of the ambush and others who participated, not materially, but were sentinels or pole to lure into a trap and cut off escape routes to Stephen Oboh, who, however, is part of another band, the Aye. According to what emerges from the investigation, still ongoing, the attempted murder of via Morata arises precisely from a settlement of accounts for an unpaid drug lot, from the clash between their two bands, for "the supremacy, control and management of traffic illicit "linked precisely to drug dealing and drug trafficking in the city. This emerges from the investigations of the mobile team that collected testimonies, feedback, heard telephone tapping between members of the bands and members of the Nigerian community.

A clash where, according to the judicial documents, there was also a mediation, "an agreement, a sort of truce" by the president of the Nigerian community (the outgoing one, Kelvin Jacob) who had tried, without success, " an agreement with the head of the band Aye "to avoid retaliation after the ambush to Stephen Oboh, an affiliate of the Aye themselves. 

Because the ambush of Via Morata has become the spark that "would have triggered a series of clashes and settling accounts between the two rival gangs," writes magistrate Isabella Cavallari in the request for arrest, validated by the investigating magistrate Marini at least for the two still found in Ferrara.

First of all Odianose Ubeba is considered the leader of the band Arobaga, since he's who manages and coordinates the pushers and advises expeditions and orders to kill, as in via Morata.

While one of the Nigerians is on the run, Henry Threeman is advised to be careful in France, to use his head, "if you are stopped by the french police and they understand that you have problems in Italy for what happened, you're in big trouble".

But he is afraid Threeman, he admits it on the phone: "only in Italy you can do all this, because if you do it in another country of Europe, there they take you and put you in jail and then send you to Nigeria."
