Lagos Police Arrest Robbers Targeting Sex Workers
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a gang of robbers accused of targeting and robbing three commercial sex workers on Adeniran Ogunsanya Street in Surulere. According to police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, the two suspects were detained on August 28, 2024, for the robbery that occurred on August 23, 2024.
The suspects had initially sought the services of the victims but then stopped their vehicle midway and stole valuables, including two iPhones worth N1.5 million, a Redmi Note 12 valued at N140,000, and an iPhone XR. They also coerced the victims into transferring N33,000 to a specified account.
Hundeyin reported that the victims were able to identify the suspects, leading to their arrest. The police have recovered one of the stolen phones, a Toyota Camry, and two blank plates used by the robbers. The incident highlights a recurring problem in Lagos and Ogun States, where robbers frequently target sex workers. Similar crimes were reported in 2018, where a gang was caught stealing from sex workers and selling the stolen items to others in Lagos.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
