Driver, Conductor Rape Lagos Job Seeker by Okite15(m): 12:11am On Apr 02, 2016 |
The police in Lagos have arrested a commercial
bus driver, identified only as Akeem, and his
conductor, Sodiq, for allegedly robbing and
raping a 22-year-old lady in the Costain, Iponri
area of the state.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Akeem and Sodiq,
along with two others still at large, had picked
the victim, Mercy (pseudonym) from the
Obalende area, and were supposed to head for
the Victoria Island where the victim reportedly
had a job interview.
Our correspondent gathered that Mercy, who
hails from Otupko, Benue State, and holds a
Nigerian Certificate in Education, on March 10,
had been called by a friend to attend the job
interview.
It was learnt that the suspects allegedly
diverted to the Costain, Iponri area, assuring
their victim that they were only taking a
different route to the island.
When the bus got to Costain, under the bridge,
the four allegedly robbed Mercy of her
Automated Teller Machine card, her purse and
other documents. The suspects also allegedly
raped the lady before driving off.
It was learnt that after the robbery, the victim
went to report the matter at the Iponri Police
Division.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspects were
not found until last Tuesday when members of a
vigilance group in the area, who were also
informed about the matter, nabbed the driver
and his conductor and handed them over to the
police.
Speaking with our correspondent, Mary said the
suspects confused her because she was new in
Lagos and she was not familiar with most of the
roads.
She said, “On that day, I was at Obalende when
my friend called me that there was a job
interview on the Victoria Island. So I entered a
bus heading to the area. Not long after, three
men entered as well. The driver drove towards
CMS; when I inquired, the other passengers said
I should be calm as he was still heading for the
Island. I thought he was trying to avoid the
traffic.
“When we got to the bridge in Costain, they
stopped and they collected my purse, mobile
phone, ATM card, PIN and N2,000 cash on me.
After they left, I told my elder brother that some
men had attacked me.
“He came and we both went to the Iponri
division to make a report, but the robbers had
withdrawn N120,000 through the ATM.”
An executive of the vigilance group, Ishola
Musbau, said, “The case of a jobseeker being
raped and robbed by miscreants was brought to
our attention. It took us two weeks to fish out
Akeem and Sodiq, and the victim identified
them.
“The driver and the conductor were
apprehended at a hideout in Itumara, Costain,
where they usually gathered for robbery
operations.”
Our correspondent gathered that the police were
still hunting other fleeing members of the gang.
A police source told PUNCH Metro that Akeem
and Sodiq had already been charged to a
magistrate’s court.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo
Badmos, could not be reached for comment as
of press time. |
