Suspected Robber Arrested 5 Days After Release From Prison

Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a robbery suspect five days after he was released from the Ikoyi Prison.

The suspect, Tunde Okunola was reportedly arrested in 

Marwa Roundabout, Lekki, along with an accomplice, Segun Adigun, 27, while trying to rob one Gift Omini around 4.45am on Wednesday.

It was learnt that while Okunola, 26, and Adigun were arrested in the morning, another gang members operating on a motorcycle, Raimi fatai (16) and Yusuph Balogun (22) were arrested later on Wednesday in the National Stadium area, Surulere, after snatching a handbag from a lady.

Okunola, who was released from the Ikoyi Prison on Friday October 5, 2018, was arrested on Wednesday after robbing Omini of her mobile phone while on a motorcycle.

Okunola told the police that he had spent six months and two weeks in the Ikoyi Prison, adding that he was nabbed by RRS men five days after his freedom.

The suspect said, “I am a trained barber; I was looking for money for my freedom so that I can have my own shop. If I am released, I will never step into Lagos again.”

The victim, Omini, told the police that the suspects who were riding a motorcycle used a short axe to dispossess her of a mobile phone.

“My shout for help, however, attracted the attention of RRS officers at the roundabout and they arrested them,” she added.

The Surulere suspects, Fatai and Balogun, also told the police that they were trying to raise money for freedom after undergoing training as barbers.

The command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said the police would not allow criminality in the state.

He added that the command was aware that some criminals wanted to seize the opportunity of the coming festive period to engage in crime.

“The police in Lagos are, however, leaving no stone unturned to make the state unconducive for criminals,” he added.

14-Year-Old Girl Seeks Justice After Second Rape In Two Years

A 45-year-old man, identified simply as Ifeanyi, is cooling off in Ekeki Police Station, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl, Gloria (surname withheld).

The victim suffered similar fate less than two years ago when she was raped by another man who made her pregnant. The product of that rape is now seven months old.

The latest rape occurred on Wednesday at a hotel in the Ekeki area of Yenagoa, the state capital.

Narrating the ordeal, Gloria said the suspect deceived her that he was going to help her get empowerment from the state’s Ministry of Women Affairs.


According to the victim, the suspect had told her and her mother that the government was empowering teenage mothers in the state and that he was going to use his position to help her to get some reliefs from government.

But unknown to Gloria, all the promise was simply a ploy to enable the suspect to have the opportunity to abuse her sexually.

She said, “On Wednesday, October 10, 2018, as I was at home, Ifeanyi, a friend to our neighbour came to the house and told my mother that he wanted to take me to Women Affairs Ministry. He said that government was giving empowerment to those that gave birth under 18 years. So, my mother asked me to go with him.

“On our way, we stopped at a bank where he withdrew money and thereafter, we went to Women Affairs. When we got to the ministry, he went inside and came back to tell me that they asked us to come back by 10am the following day. As we were going back, he said I should wait. I was checking my bag to take money so that I could board commercial tricycle back home. Unfortunately, I could not find the money my mother gave to me for transport.

“Ifeanyi asked me to wait and that he would take me home. He stopped a tricycle and discussed with him. I did not know what they discussed. By the time we entered the tricycle, the operator passed our area. I drew his attention to it and he said somebody was calling him and that he was going to see the person. He said I should not bother and that he would bring me back since he was the one that came to take me from our home.”

He added, “The tricycle operator took us straight into a hotel at Ekeki behind Christ Apostolic Church. I and my baby were standing outside the hotel and he beckoned on me to come inside. I told him I wanted to go back and he said I should come. When I refused to go inside, he came to where I was standing, pushed me inside the room and locked the door. I started shouting but nobody appeared to be hearing me. I later learnt that the manager of the hotel had gone to buy fuel. As I was screaming, he forcefully took my baby from me and threw her on the floor. Thereafter, he pounced on me and started raping me.”

The teenager claimed that by the time Ifeanyi finished raping her, she had bruises and blood stains on her private part.

She said that in her pains, she managed to carry her baby and headed for Ekeki Police Station to report the case.

 “When I got home, I told my mum what happened. Later some policemen came and started looking for him. The policemen were just hanging around waiting for the call. It was learnt that later, the man went back to the hotel to pay the hotel bills. After paying the bills, the manager gave a call to the police who apprehended him.”

Gloria, who lamented the development, said she was equally raped when she was 13, stressing that since then she had never been the same again.

She appealed to the relevant authorities to intervene in the matter for justice to prevail.

During a visit to Ekeki Police station, the suspect was sighted at Gender Department. Thereafter, Ifeanyi was taken inside for further investigation.

A senior police officer, who craved anonymity, said that because of the nature of the matter, the case would soon be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.

When contacted, spokesman for Bayelsa Police Command, Asinim Butswat, said he had not been properly briefed on the matter.
