The Lagos police command says its operatives have arrested one Ifeanyi Ezennaya for allegedly robbing six women of their phones and money.
Ezennaya was said to have lured the ladies to different hotels, drugged them and robbed them of their belongings.
According to NAN, one of the victims who spoke on behalf of some of the others, said they met the suspect a few days ago while celebrating the birthday of one of them in a bar.“We met him at a bar. He approached us and introduced himself as Emeka. He claimed he is just back from Switzerland and he wants to be our friend,” she said.“On Tuesday, he called that we should hang out in a hotel and we honoured the invitation.
“We drank the wine around 7pm and woke up at 1am, and discovered that we had been robbed of our six iPhones, wristwatches, gold chain, among other items,” she said.“He also withdrew the sum of N50,000 from the account of one of us with the ATM card he stole.
“While the stolen items have all been recovered before he could dispose of them, an investigation is on to apprehend receivers of stolen items he works with. Suspects will be arraigned at the end of investigation.“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, FDC, assures all residents of Lagos that the command will continue to work towards the decimation of crime and criminality in the Centre of Excellence.
