Residents of Isheri Osun in Lagos are still baffled
at the perceived incompetence of policemen who
allegedly slept off while robbers broke free from a
police cell.
Robbers in custody at a police station in Isheri
Osun, Lagos escaped from their cell at night by
removing the station's roof without the knowledge
of the officers on duty.
The notorious robbers were arrested by police
with the help of residents, however, by morning,
police revealed they had escaped from their cell.
Residents of the neighborhood are in shock at the
gross incompetence and are speculating that the
officers on duty that day were either sleeping,
drunk, or they were not telling the entire truth,
P.M. Express reports.
Officers woke on the morning after the criminals
were taken into custody to notice that the roof of
the cell they were in had been damaged and
removed and the suspects were no longer in
there.
The police led by their Divisional Police Officer,
CSP Camelius began a manhunt for the suspects
who were said to be at large. This led to the
arrest of a man called Bashiru Rabiu who was
allegedly involved in the cell break. He was
charged before the Isolo Magistrates court for
willful damage and escape from lawful custody
under the criminal code. Bashiru denied
involvement and pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mr A.O. Ogbe granted
Bashiru bail in the sum of N100,000 with two
sureties in the like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending
when he will perfect his bail condition.
