Two suspects who posed as soldiers and abducted a 15-year-old girl in the Oworonshoki area of Lagos State have been arrested by the Police.
The incident occurred last Friday on Akerele Street around 10pm when the suspects – Damilola Balogun and Joseph Agbo – allegedly abducted and raped the teenager overnight, leaving her by the roadside.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said four Automated Teller Machine cards and 17 identity cards were recovered from the suspects.
She said, “The police recovered items which included military camouflage, two berets, two mobile phones, four ATM cards from different banks, and 17 ID cards bearing different names. After interrogation, it was discovered that the suspects were impersonators.
“They are also suspected to be hoodlums terrorising the area. The suspects will be transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigation and prosecution.”
