A suspected traffic robber has allegedly swallowed his victim’s wedding ring after threatening to kill her in the Oshodi area of Lagos State.
The suspect, 19-year-old Taofeek Adebayo, was on Friday arrested by the men of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command at OshodiOke together with his accomplice, Toheeb Tijani, 20, shortly after dispossessing two ladies in a grey Sienna SUV of a gold earring and a set of wedding rings.
According to the RRS, Adebayo and his gang members had pleaded with the two gorgeously dressed ladies in the Sienna SUV to assist them with money for food.The driver of the Sienna SUV, who pleaded anonymity, was quoted as saying, “My colleague and I were coming from Anthony and heading to Ilasa for our association’s meeting. Three of the hoodlums came near our vehicle. There was traffic and we could not turn anywhere. We were scared. They said we should give them money for food.
“Two of them turned to the other side of the vehicle. They threatened to waste us if we didn’t give them money. ‘Where is the money?’ they screamed at us. In a hurry to leave our car, they forced my friend to surrender her wedding rings. When interrogated, Adebayo confessed, “I swallowed it but I have vomited it and handed it over to Young Boy, who is the third guy, when the police were chasing us. I told him to hand over the rings to the ladies so that the police could release us but he absconded with the two rings and the earring.”
