A 17-year-old JSS 3 student, Olayinka Moses, who uses iron
weapon to dispossess people of their valuables passed urine on himself, when he
was paraded for the criminal act. The teenager, who was paraded at the Lagos
State Police Command, urinated on himself while narrating how he was arrested.
Moses, who allegedly brandishes an iron rod as gun, was
reportedly taken to the station by some guests at a social function, who
alleged that he attempted to rob them.
"I was arrested by some policemen because I was with an iron
that looked like a saw and a metal gun at the same time. They insisted that I
was using it to threaten and rob innocent people. But it is only a gear iron. I
did not rob with it. I wanted to sell it to those men who buy condemned iron
metals for N50 and use the money to buy food.
"I was returning from a friend’s birthday party at
Okeagboro, in the company of my friends when I saw the iron on the ground. When
I picked the iron, I looked for a polythene bag with which to wrap it.
"When I got to
Shibiri (Ojo area), a party was ongoing and I stopped to see if I could get
food to eat because I do not have anybody feeding me. I am on my own. My mother
is somewhere in Ibadan trading and I do not know where my father is.
"When the guests at the wedding saw me, they became
suspicious and held me. Thereafter, they took me to the police station despite
my explanation that I was not a thief," he said.
