Photos: 22 ATM cards, mobile phones, and bank tellers found with a "mentally ill man" arrested by the RRS in Lagos
News
The 39-year-old man was nabbed by
the operatives along Ozumba Nbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos, when
he was seen carrying a backpack and behaving suspiciously.
"When we sighted him, he appeared like a mentally sick man but we invited him for interrogation, he answered and responded normal to all our enquiries" on e of the officers said".
"Afterwards, he started straying from the normal course of our enquiries. This raised further curiosity and we decided to check out his backpack. What we found was startling; 22 assorted credit cards, 1 Nokia phone with flat battery, a blackberry, a power bank, several bank tellers of recent bank transactions, and lots of invoices amidst numerous pieces of papers.
"On further scrutiny, we discovered that eight of the credit cards were still valid. Out of these; three would expire in 2018, another three would expire in 2017 while two would expire in 2016. All the credit cards bore different names and banks." he added.
During interrogation at the RRS
Headquarters in Alausa, the suspect suddenly began to sound irrational
and even threatened the investigative officer.
"Initially, we noticed that he was mentally balanced because he was answering the questions posted to him adequately. But all of a sudden, he started to sound incoherent and illogical again,"
"He said 'I will make life unbearable for you if you don’t let me go'. It was at this point we realised that possibly he might be enjoying the patronage of some highly placed people whom we believe he might working for,"
The suspect has been transferred to
Special Anti-Robbery Squad where he is expected to be subjected to
further investigations and psychiatric examinations.
See People’s Reaction During The Distribution of Free Condoms by NGOs Ahead of Valentines Day
News
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that residents of the FCT
on Friday, expressed divergent opinions on free distribution of condoms
in parks and event centres by civil society groups and health related
NGOs as Valentine celebrations approached.
Some Abuja residents who spoke to NAN welcomed the gesture while
others abhorred it. According to a teacher named Tunde Olabode,
valentine is a season of love, distributing condoms was not out of place
and not something new.
“The main purpose of this distribution is to discourage the
spread of sexually transmitted diseases and various infections. It can
also help in the control of the rate of abortion among the youths,” he said
Olabode, however said; “It can be negative when one look at it from the perspective of religion which forbids immorality.”
A civil servant, Nkechi Amadi, who said she was given a roll of ten
gold circle condoms, said there was nothing wrong with the development,
adding that the NGOs were using the auspicious occasion of valentine to
give sex education on the dangers involved in having unprotected sex.
“As parents, we give sex education to our children at home,
including the use of condoms; so I see nothing wrong in what the NGOs
are doing. It serves as a medium to tell the youths that they must not
have unprotected sex to have good health.”
Anothet civil servant, Uche George, said that “distributing condom
openly is like encouraging immoralities and evil in the society.” She
added that the practice is“Western way of life, not known to Africa.” She therefore advised that emphasis should be placed on teaching moral values.
A journalist, Felix Ajide who is also a pastor, said that the NGOs
have a misconception of what valentine celebration was all about. He
noted that,“distributing condoms openly is endorsing and encouraging fornication and adultery.”
Ajide explained “love and sex are two different terms; but this action makes people to believe that the terms mean the same thing.”
“Valentine’s Day is a day originally celebrated to remember the
love that God has for man and the love man is expected to have for his
neighbour. However, we are losing focus on the main point and now trying
to focus on sex and lust.”
Ajide stressed that Valentine’s Day must not be used as an excuse
for erotic love, but a day to celebrate the love and care received from
our loved ones. “I urge these NGO’s to find measures that focus on love and not sex.
“The sexual encounter between people that are not partners
should be discouraged. They are not helping the society. Instead, they
should distribute materials that encourage genuine love amongst the
public,” he added.
