Okewunmi Omotoyosi Daniel, who was, weekend, arrested alongside suspected members of the notorious Badoo boys during a joint raid by the Police, O’odua Peoples Congress, OPC, and members of a vigilante group in Ikorodu area of Lagos, has said that he is not a member of the dreaded cult.

Daniel’s face appeared in a photograph taken by the Police during the weekend raid.

However, Daniel, who said he is a teacher, visited Vanguard’s corporate headquarters yesterday, noting that he was later released after he convinced the Police of his innocence.

Narrating his ordeal, Daniel said: “At about 2p.m. on Saturday, I went in the company of my wife and our nine-month-old baby to a salon close to my house at Abuja Bus Stop, Ikorodu, to have a hair cut.

‘’While waiting for my turn, our baby started crying and I took him to the section where my wife was also having her hair done.

Arrested

“Later, we heard a word of command from the community vigilante known as Onyabo, ordering everyone to stand up. Members of the Onyabo said that our attention was needed by the Commissioner of Police outside.

“We were the first set of people arrested. Miscreants led the Police to where the raids were carried out. After the arrest, we were taken into the Black Maria without an opportunity to explain ourselves. The Onyabo members (community guards) even collected telephones of those arrested.

“They even chased people standing on their own at Owode Roundabout, Imota and Ita-Maga, and apprehended a man who was about entering a Mosque to pray.

“We were taken in a parked Black Maria to the Task Force office at Oshodi, where we were detained. That was where they started taking shots of us, as if we were Badoo members.

“138 persons were apprehended on that day. Among those arrested were eight civil servants. The cell did not even contain us. I had to stand all through.

“Had my wife and dad not brought the documents, I am sure that I would have still been detained.

‘My release’

“Next day (Sunday), my wife and my father came with all my documents that proved that I am a civil servant. In fact, I am a teacher at Oluwalogbon Primary School, Ketu. After showing them all my documents, they released me at about 11p.m.

“But I woke up today (Monday) to be confronted with my picture on the front page of your newspaper. See (displaying his wife’s phone) my wife’s phone has a picture of me while being ushered out of the saloon I went to.

“I have received several calls from friends and relatives, who saw my picture in the newspaper, asking what happened. I couldn’t go to work today. I only contacted the school to hint them of the development so I can come here and explain my side of the story, so that my image can be redeemed.

Evidence of innocence

“These are my documents (displaying the documents he showed to the Police). I was among the teachers recruited last year. This is my letter of appointment, dated March 2016.

“My deployment letter is also with me; it was dated April 1, and I also have my letter of assumption of office dated October 7. Here are my pay slips as well.

“I am here to express my displeasure over the whole exercise. Even if they wanted to do such thing, they could have gone to joints. Why would the Nigeria Police allow hooligans to raid the society?

“Badoo boys can never be caught in the day time. Residents are even not ready to hand them over if they are caught, but rather prefer to carry out immediate justice.”

Me that's managing my 10mb

If you can't post the picture here bros IDONBILIVIT

Ok

That's the issue with the Nigerian Police. In the name of "raiding" they pack the innocent, the bad, badoo and baddest, without proper investigative work.

As a Lagos child, I can't recall how many times they raided the streets of Ebute Meta just to extort people. The ones at Okota will stop anyone coming out of the bank and the ones at Igando/Ikotun will interrogate anyone carrying a backpack.

It is well with my country.

. LET ME TELL YOU THE TRUTH.


THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING


MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE WOULD BE KILLED BY JUNGLE JUSTICE MORE THAN THIS DREADED BADDOO HAS KILLED.


GOOD DAY.

Flavour sang, "black is beautiful". na this guy complexion make them arrest am o. ifahear say black is beautiful...

one just happen for my area now.... although them don leave am....

may God help us

The Nigerian Police is so unprofessional,

So they released this guy just because he could identify himself as a civil servant?
Does that exonerate him.
Does having a wife and a son make him ineligible to be a Badoo member?

I know married Professors who are cultists!!!

SMH for the Nigerian Police
Ikorodu folks shoulda just lynched him period.!!

With the way this thing is going, half of Ikorodu residents may be arrested....the other half lynched

Uninvestigative journalism can kill somebody easily

my guy fear jungle justice

.

Nigeria jaga jaga

Everything scatter scatter

He is lucky to be in the hands of the Police. Until those dishing out jungle justice are treated like the murderers they are, news of indiscriminate killings are bound to be a common occurrence. If an army captain can be lynched what is the fate of the common man. I am beginning to think Monkeys are a better organised specie to the BLACKMAN..

submerged in a miasma of melancholy at this slandering, libel, debasement and impairment of your reputation.
it is now obvious, conspicuous and discernible that our police force are not fully fledged
I urge you to sue them for defmation, concurrently and simultaneously you should also thank God you are not a victim, a babe in woods and gambit to the jungle justice imbrioglio.
what a show of shame by Npf
we are too civilised down here in Edo state for such primitive and archaic life style

Am still wondering why olamide have not Been arrested self

How did I even find myself living in this country?

Uninvestigative journalism can kill somebody easily.

Jungle justice must be condemned

138 people, standing in Cell, May God not allow us resemble who dem dey find

Step forward let the supreme leader examine you properly

ChangetheChange:
This is getting out of hand

Lot of innocent citizens have been burnt and butchered to death in Ikorodu in the past weeks

Lord have mercy on the the people on Ikorodu

i will never support jungle justice

are u sure?

I said it that 50% of those arrested are innocent

Let's stop glorifying mediocrity and corruption #NoToRestructuring #YesToRevolution
