The Nigeria Police in Lagos on Tuesday paraded 12 persons and declared
four others wanted following their involvement in the torture of three
women at Oba Morufu International Market, Ejigbo, Lagos.
Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mba, who paraded the suspects
before newsmen, said some of the suspects are OPC members, who are
security men at the market and officials of the market association who
he said also extorted N50,000 from the victims’ father.
According to CSP Mba, men of the Federal Special Anti‑Robbery Squad, led
by a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, are investigating the
circumstances surrounding the death of one of the victims, who was
identified as Juliana Agoma.
He gave the names of the suspects as:
Isiaka Waidi, the Baba‑Oja of the market, who masterminded the dastardly
act that culminated in the arrest, debasement, torture and extortion of
the victims; Haruna Abdullahi and Buhari Yusuf, who mixed the said
concoction of pepper and alcohol that was applied on the bodies and
private parts of the victims.
Others are Saheed Adisa, Lateef Tijani Ahmed Adisa, the Iyaloja
Oloruntoyin Dauda, Adekunle Adenuga, Jimoh Busari and Azeez Akinosun.
The suspects will soon be charged to court.
