The Boys Who Tortured 2 Yoruba Girls With Pepper Water Have Been Arrested In Lagos



There is no hiding place for the wicked..! The heartless perpetrators of
a bestial torture and sodomy of 2 girls and a womn in the Ejigbo area
of Lagos which went viral after OluFamous.Com broke the sad story
have all been arrested with the help of a traditional ruler, Oba Moruf
Adisa Ojoola of Ejigbo, Lagos.
The arrest was possible as a result of immense pressure on Oba Moruf
himself. He was said to have got all the men assembled at his palace
around 11pm Saturday night, following a closure of the Ejigbo market.
The market was shut down, preventing the market men and women
from carrying out their trading activities in the area until the
perpetrators of the inhuman act were identified and brought to the
palace...
The gang’s torture and sodomizing of one of the girls by thrusting of
a bottle of ground pepper and sticks in her genital had resulted in her
death, two months after. She was later identified as “Juliana” by her
father, a palm wine tapper, who revealed that he also lost a toddler in
the incidence as his wife, mother of the baby while being tortured by
the gang was not allowed to attend to the baby.
His wife was however not shown in the video, as the gang allegedly
kept her a separate room.
In addition to torture, the gang destroyed the palm wine tapper’s
house and banished him and his family from the community, after he
was made to pay N50,000 as fine to secure the release of his wife and
daughters.
Last Thursday, Oba Moruf was invited by the Lagos Assembly
Committee regarding the investigation into the crime. The previous
day, Wednesday, the Iyaloja (Ejigbo Market women leader) visited the
committee on invitation. She was accompanied by her husband, who
pledged support toward the investigation.
The Babaloja, who allegedly received a fine from the palm wine tapper
and also supervised his banishment, did not honor an invitation by
the committee. He gave the excuse that he had injury on his leg. But
sources in the market said the Babaloja may have had the injury
when he scaled a fence to escape arrest by a police team that visited
the market for investigation last week.
At a public hearing of the Lagos Assembly committee, the police,
local government chairman, market women and other members of the
Ejigbo community had denied knowledge of the crime, even as sources
from the community insisted the crime happened in the public glare.
The arrested gang would be tried for the crime of murder and the
illegal sum collected from Mr. Freeman, the palm wine tapper to
secure the release of his wife and two daughters.
Those guys are really heartless, they just destroyed a whole family
unjustly.... Really sad!
