robbery incident, he is presently in police custody and won’t
be released until after a thorough investigation.
“I was working around Shitta area of Surulere when Oyetakin
stopped me and said I should drop him somewhere. Before I
knew what was happening, people came from nowhere and
took both of us. They beat us before they handed us over to the
police. They said we were robbers ,” says Uke John .
Fortunately for John, the real suspect Oyelakin verified his
claims that he never knew John and he had only boarded his
bike to escape.
“I was on my way to rob at Shitta. I was desperate because a
week before that, my shop where I repair phones had been
destroyed at Ijora, Lagos . I had the intention to snatch bags at
Shitta that day but I saw someone with a bag before I got there
and I snatched it. But before I could escape, I was caught along
with the okada rider ,” says Olamide.
