A Lagosian, Innocent Ifunayachi, has been arrested for allegedly defiling a 14 year-old-girl in her family house after he laced her food with hemp.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, made this known in a statement on Sunday.
This came about the same time the command arrested a man impersonating an official of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, duping people he promised jobs at the commission.
Bala said, “The suspect, being a friend to the family visited and found the girl eating Indomie.
“While she left to get him some drinks, he quickly put some quantities of dry leaves suspected to be Indian hemp into the food.
“She lost consciousness after eating the food and he took advantage of that to rape her,” he said.
Elkana said that detectives from the Family Support Unit had arrested the suspect who has confessed to the crime.
“The victim has been taken to hospital for medical treatment and forensic examination.
“The suspect will be charged to Court,” he said.
According to him, detectives from the Bariga Police Station have also arrested one Emmanuel Olatunde (aka “Pastor”), a notorious cultist.
He was arrested in connection with some robbery and murder cases within Bariga Local Government Area.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, on Sunday.
Elkana said that Olatunde, 31, of No 27 Oremenunu Ibafo Street, Bariga is an ex-convict and a member of the ‘Eiye Confraternity’, responsible for terrorizing people in Bariga.
“He is responsible for the murder of one Ahmed Karowi, an Aiye Confraternity Kingpin on Sept. 11, 2019.
“Investigation is ongoing and the suspect will soon be charged to Court,” he said.
The onslaught against criminals appears to be bearing fruits as the state task force on social re engineering has also made some arrests.
It raided the Alausa area where it rounded off people said to be dealing in drugs.
