Nigeria-police-logo-360x225The nefarious activities of some OPC members in Ajegunle area of Lagos state reached its head, when they were apprehended by the Police for allegedly arresting and torturing a certain Yakubu.

According to PUNCH Metro, Yakubu and his friends who were returning home from the beach, where they had gone to celebrate Sallah were stopped and accused of wandering at night by the OPC men at Okorogbo street and thereby demanded money from them.

The refusal of Yakubu and his friends to be extorted, reportedly angered the OPC members and fighting ensued. Yakubu’s friends fled the scene as they were being overpowered. This left Yakubu at the mercy of the vigilante group, who went on to unleash untold beating and torture on their victim, as he was bound by his hands and feet and tied to a stick.

A distressed call paced by a resident to the police saved the victim from death. And on sighting the anti-robbery policemen, the OPC men took to their heels, however, they were later arrested by the police.

According to a resident of Okorogbo who sought for anonymity, the OPC men in the area usually arrest people at night and often accusing them of being robbers.

“The OPC often take the laws into their hands. Anytime they stop you at night and you don’t have money to give them, you’re in trouble”, he said.

Meanwhile, according to the police, all the suspects have been arrested while Yakubu, the victim is in the hospital recuperating from the near-fatal injuries, he sustained.

Fellow nigerians this story is true in ajegunle.
If you are not a known APC/ACN/YARUBA member in this area then you are good as dead. I have fallen victim four times to this so called OPC.

OPC Militant wing of APC running amok in SW, Boko Boys, Terrorist wing of APC running amok in North, hope Rochas will not form one in South East.

moseskadiri: me too, but something has to be done about this OPC, you won't believe that the took a guy from my area and till date we have heard nothing from the guy, rumour has it that they killed the boys, with the permission of the Baale.

was he a known thief or armed robber?

if yes, that is what they do to serve as deterrent to other robbers terrorising the neighbourhood.

if such person is released to the police, they usually get bail and come back reinforced and wreck more terror on the community
