I think it’s time the government should legalize pepper spray for women for self defense

Finally. It has taken way too long.

Unfortunately he can't be paraded because he is "innocent until proven guilty".

It took forever for the police to nab him. Some people are just irredeemable; committing same crime over and over again, and just waiting to get apprehended.

Finally! Hope they put an end to his operation in reality.

Social Media is very powerful !!!

The man should be dealt with.
Thought it was even in Benin he was carrying out those atrocities

That's why I like countries like China. They may even castrate you. The kinds of lenient laws we have in Nigeria suggest that this country encourages criminality.

He should face the law, what arrant nonsense! I agree to that pepper spray method, women are suffering in the hands of these evil men.

Might not be true.
He might be painted black because they had some fight with him.

Look at his wicked and devilish looks.The character of a man is often revealed in his or her looks.

Finally! Long overdue. Let this arrest seal his criminal activities permanently.

You mean he rape them inside his cab or hotel, is there bush in lagos that nobody noticed 🤔

Is it illegal?

If not, then nothing stops ladies from having one

We need National Lion's Den where wicked criminals like this should be fed alive to hungry lions.

Is this not same Uber driver accused of rape in Abuja how come now it's Lagos? Did he escaped from Abuja to Lagos?

I remember this picture very well.

Adegbola is a notorious serial rapist and armed robber.
Glad to know that he is not in the league of awarding skullarship.

Its up to you oh NCAN.
Do your job.

If they bring in harsh laws, you will be the first to complain

This moniker can never complain about harsh laws for criminal acts.

Long over due . Sanity must return

It was never against the law as long as its for self defense.

Erm... You need the government to legalise something that you need to protect yourself?!!

I don't understand... Pepper spray na acid abi na gun?!!

Carrying and knowing how to use Pepper spray and anything else to harm your would be attacker shouldn't be up for legislation... It's just common sense.


It's even already enshrined in your country's constitution... It's called Self defense.

Why is Adedayo Ben Adegbola disgracing himself oh?

See his wicked face

100 days for the thief, one day for the owner of the house
