July 21, 2016 – Pictures: 22 Kids Robbers, Cult Members Including 4 Girls Arrested In Ikeja & Agege Lagos
The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command have arrested 22 teenagers for robbery, stealing and cultism.
The 22 teenagers, among whom are four female, were arrested for allegedly involved in separate incidences of robbery, stealing and cultism around Agege area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
The two leaders of the first gang, which consist of eight members, Babatunde, 15 and Tayo, 15, were arrested on last Thursday, at about 11:30 p.m. in Mulero, Agege for assaulting and robbing one Aladegbo Abidemi with an axe, and snatching her Blackberry Z10.
The suspects were reported to have given out other members of the gang the following day. Other members of the gang arrested included: Matthew, 18; Sakiru, 16; Ganiyu,13; Reliwan, 15; Ibrahim, 15 and Kudus, 15.
According to their victim, Abidemi, 26, “I was coming from work when I decided to pass through Mulero to link the closest bus stop around 10:00 p.m. I sensed my phone ringing and I picked it. Just few seconds while on the call, I noticed some young boys about 12 swarming like bees towards me.
“I ran but I fell down. They rough-handled me, threatened me with an axe and took my phone. They retreated and abandoned me inside the gutter. A couple of minutes after standing up, I saw RRS patrol vehicle. I reported the incident and showed them the direction they went. They gave them hot chase, and arrested them with my phone.”
The second gang, consisting of 10 male and four female were picked-up at Abattoir on Monday at about 2:35 am, after three of them had earlier been arrested at the Computer Village, Ikeja, for stealing mobile phones.
It was gathered that the trio, Sulaimon, 13; Godwin, 19 and Sunkanmi, 15, entered a phone stall and pretended they wanted to buy a phone.
They walked out again after inspecting the phone only for the stall owner to realise that two phones were missing. They were however caught on their way going.
It was learnt that during interrogation at the RRS’ headquarters, three of them owned up to be members of Eiye Confraternity.
The names of other gang members arrested included: Taiwo, 17; Rotimi, 17; Lateef, 19; Tunde, 17; Bolawatife, 15; kayode, 15; Olamide ,15.
Other members of the gang who are female included: Olamide, 19; Agnes, 14; Ayo, 15 and Ope, 16.
All the suspects have been transferred to the State Police Command, Ikeja, for further investigations.

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. So so true! Find them tasks to keep them busy. By the time the day is done they will be too tired to enter into mischief . May God help us!

See how d future of dis country is wasting away. Apart from d parents been at fault but what is causing things like this, is it not the economic condition of d country.
Parents are not paid salaries they cannot eat three square meals a day talk less of paying their children school fees, thereby making d kids to stay at home idle, so what happens next is to join d wrong crowd.
Our leaders are looting money everyday, thereby rendering our economy useless. Were do we go from here, so who is to blame.

Parents will just be hatching children like hens do. They are ready to have 20 children and careless about their welfare. Nonsense.

THEY WOULD SAY , OLORUN LO FUN MI NI OOMO,
IF YOU ARE THE TYPE THAT ALWAYS SAY THIS , PLEASE STOP NOW, BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS VERY WRONG .
GOD IS NOT THE ONE THAT WOULD HELP YOU DECIDE HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU SHOULD HAVE, THE DECISION IS YOURS.
[ OOMO BEREEE OSHI ,BEREEEE.BUKATA NI O.] YOU WILL SUFFER AND YOUR CHILDREN TOO WILL SUFFER. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD OR OLUGALA WILL NOT HELP YOU OUT EITHER.
I THINK IT IS BETTER YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO FEED YOUR CHILDREN BEFORE YOU START HAVING UP TO TEN CHILDREN.
AS A WOMAN , IF YOU KNOW THAT YOUR HUSBAND CAN NOT FEED UP TO FOUR CHILDREN, PLEASE GO FOR FAMILY PLANNING OR PACK YOUR BAG AND GO TO THE MAN WHO CAN FEED TWENTY .
OLUGBALA WOULD NOT HELP YOU FEED YOUR CHILDREN WHEN THEY ARE TOO MANY. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR GOD OR OLUGBALA .
YOU SLEEP ON BED EVERY NIGHT FUCKING YOUR HUSBAND AND GET BELLE , WITHOUT THINKING OF WHAT THEY WOULD EAT .
YOU ARE DOING YOURSELF, THE DECISION IS YOURS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD.
