ARMED ROBBER SWALLOWS VICTIM’S WEDDING RING
The suspects, had requested the two women in a Sienna to assist them with money for food, and the sum of N100 note was offered them, which the suspects instantly rejected, and in a twinkle one of the suspects pulled left ear of one of the ladies and removed her earring.
Penpushing further reports that, the Driver of the Sienna narrated their plight, “my colleague and I were coming from Anthony and heading to Ilasa for our association’s meeting. Three of them (pointing to the suspects) came near our vehicle’.
‘There was traffic and we could turn anywhere. We were scared. They said we should give them money for food. I reached out to my colleague to give me money. She gave me N100 which I gave them. They rejected it. One of them said, ‘eleyi ki I se owo ti wa’. I told them this is what I have. One of them pulled my left ear and removed my earring.”
“Two of them turned to the other side of my vehicle. They threatened to waste us if we don’t give them money. ‘Where is the money’, they screamed at us. In a hurry to leave our car, they forced my friend to surrender her wedding ring. This yellow guy (pointing to Adebayo) took the first one and swallowed it in our presence. His colleague took the other one”
Penpushing also reports that, when Adebayo was interrogated he said, “I swallowed it but I have vomited it and handed it over to Young Boy is the third guy when police were chasing us. I told him to hand over the rings to the ladies so that the police can release us but he absconded with the two rings and earring.”
The Commissioner of Police, Muazu Zubairu while speaking on the development, said the police would not relent in its efforts towards making Lagos safe for law abiding citizens, and directed that the suspects be transferred to Makinde Police Division, Oshodi and SCID, Yaba.
