IMO JAIL BREAK: LAGOS POLICE RE-ARREST FLEEING INMATE FOR STEALING SIM CARD

The Lagos State Police Command on 23rd April, 2021, rearrested one Onyemachi Maduabuchi, m, 34, who escaped from the
Owerri Correctional Centres, Imo State, after the jail break that occurred on 5th April, 2021 at 2am.

The suspect, who fled Owerri that same day, 5th Apri, 2021, moved to his village, Fegge in Onitsha, Anambra State, to meet his mother who later linked him up with his elder sister, Amarachi Maduabuchi, f, of Customs Bus Stop Ijegun Lagos. The sister thereafter invited him to Lagos on 19th April, 2021.

The suspect was kept in the sister's house where she used to lead him to church for special deliverance service. In the process, after the night vigil on 20th April, 2021, at Bride Assembly Church, Ijesha Area of Lagos State, the suspect allegedly stole the sim and the memory cards of a member (name withheld) of the church before he was evetually arrested and the stolen items recovered from him.

In the course of Police investigation, it was revealed that the suspect has been standing trial since 2009 for Conspiracy, Armed Robbery and Arson before Justice Nna Amadi of Ngbidi High Court 1, at Ngbidi in Imo State.

The suspect has confessed to the crime while the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has directed that the suspect should be handed over to the Nigerian Correctional Service for further investigation and necessary action.

The Commissioner of Police therefore assured the general public that the command will not relent on its efforts in making the state safe and peaceful for all and sundry to live in as all hands are on deck to effectively police Lagos State.

Nawa o. We haven’t been able to contain those criminals in the West, these Biafla people continue to send theirs across.

I thought I read a news where Amotekun will be securing our borders. These kind of criminals must not be allowed into the West. How many times have we heard the Yorubas committing crime in other regions?

Tomorrow now, Kanu will release more criminals from prison and they will all carry their 2by2 bags to the same SW and the cycle continues.

johnmartus:
Southwest need to secure their borders, some of this Igbos terrorist would be leaving their enclave for lagos these days.

LegendHero:


We need to protest this and any governor that fail to act should be dealt with.

The influx in the coming months will na hard to contain if things remain as it is.

For every police station burnt, some criminals are released. Some of them will join unknown gunmen and the rest will run to the SW.
