Taofeek Adebayo in company of his gang had on Friday pleaded with two gorgeously dressed ladies in a Sienna to assist them with money for food in traffic. The two ladies extended a N100 note to them, which the suspects instantly rejected.<\/p>\n
According to the driver of the Sienna, who pleaded for anonymity, \u201cmy colleague and I were coming from Anthony and heading to Ilasa for our association\u2019s meeting. Three of them (pointing to the suspects) came near our vehicle. There was traffic and we could turn anywhere. We were scared. They said we should give them money for food. I reach out to my colleague to give me money.<\/p>\n
She gave me N100 which I gave them. They rejected it. One of them said, \u2018eleyi ki I se owo ti wa\u2019. I told them this is what I have. One of them pulled my left ear and removed my earring\u201d. <\/p>\n
She continued, \u201ctwo of them turned to the other side of my vehicle. They threatened to waste us if we don\u2019t give them money. \u2018Where is the money\u2019, they screamed at us. In a hurry to leave our car, they forced my friend to surrender her wedding ring.<\/p>\n
This yellow guy (pointing to Adebayo) took the first one and swallowed it in our presence. His colleague took the other one\u201d.<\/p>\n
When interrogated, Adebayo disclosed, \u201cI swallowed it but I have vomited it and handed it over to Young Boy is the third guy when police were chasing us. I told him to hand over the rings to the ladies so that the police can release us but he absconded with the two rings and earring\u201d.<\/p>\n
His accomplice, Toheed Tijani, who sources said was on the watch list of police for snatching a mobile phone from a commuter in traffic earlier in the day stated, \u2018I have released the phone to the LASTMA officials standing in Oshodi Oke. They told me that RRS officers were looking for me to arrest me\u201d.<\/p>\n
