The 22 teenagers, amongst whom are four female, were arrested for allegedly involved in separate incidences of robbery, stealing and cultism around Agege and its environs.
The two leaders of the first gang, which consist of eight members, Babatunde, 15 and Tayo, 15, were arrested on last Thursday, at about 11:30 p.m. in Mulero, Agege for assaulting and robbing one Aladegbo Abidemi with an axe, and snatching her Blackberry Z10.
The suspects were reported to have given out other members of the gang the following day. Other members of the gang arrested included: Matthew, 18; Sakiru, 16; Ganiyu,13; Reliwan, 15; Ibrahim, 15 and Kudus, 15.
According to their victim, Aladegbo Abidemi, female, 26, “I was coming from work. I decided to pass through Mulero to link the closest bus stop around 10:00 p.m. I sensed my phone ringing and I picked it. Just few seconds while on the call, I noticed some young boys about 12 swarming like bees towards me.
I ran but I fell down. They rough handled me, threatened me with an axe and took my phone. They retreated and abandoned me inside the gutter.
A couple of minutes after standing up, I saw RRS patrol vehicle. I reported the incident and showed them the direction they went. They gave them hot chase, and arrested them with my phone”.
The second gang, consisting of 10 male and four females were picked-up at Abattoir on Monday at about 02:35 am, after three of them had earlier been arrested in Computer Village, Ikeja, for stealing mobile phones.
It was gathered that the trio, Sulaimon, 13; Godwin, 19 and Sunkanmi, 15, entered a phone stall and pretended they wanted to buy a phone.
They walked out again after inspecting the phone only for the stall owner to realise that two phones were missing. They were however caught on their way going.
It was learnt that during interrogation at the RRS’ headquarters, three of them owned up to be members of Eiye Confraternity.
The names of other gang members arrested included: Taiwo, 17; Rotimi, 17; Lateef, 19; Tunde, 17; Bolawatife, 15; kayode, 15; Olamide ,15.
Other members of the gang who are female included: Olamide, 19; Agnes, 14; Ayo, 15 and Ope, 16.
All the suspects have been transferred to the State Police Command, Ikeja, for further investigations.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the arrest of the teenagers. She stated that the Commissioner of Police summoned the parents of the children and he has ordered that the teenagers be sent for rehabilitated without delay.
She added that the arrest of the suspects was an eye-opener to the challenges of crime fighting and breakdown of family values.

ReplyDeletePls do not kill them or hurt them, cos it is not easy to survive in this economy.

DeleteGurls dis days dey vex o o
ReplyDeleteWith the current economic condition your wasted president has brought..no one should be charged for committing any offence. Go and arrest Buhari first afterall he's the reason why people are going into all this. If he had fulfilled his promises of a better economy with lots of resources to enable young citizens have good jobs and go to school this would never be happening
ReplyDeleteIt's so pathetic that you could reason this way. How long as Buhari led government has been in governance of the country? Are u saying there were no thieves and armed robbers during the last government era? Let us be sincere with ourselves and be objective in our thinking and comments. As good as the western countries are, there is unemployment, armed robbery and many other social vices. The bad situation of the economy is not an excuse for engaging in crime. May God help us!

ReplyDeleteObviously parents are failing in their duties. If you can't account for the where about of your children in the night, expect something like this. A dysfunctional home can also be a dysfunctional society.
