Lagos residents descend on robber while trying to rape a lady

A suspected member of a notorious armed robbery gang that had been terrorising residents of Igando, Lagos, was yesterday arrested while attempting to r*pe one of his female victims during operation.

The suspect, Akeem Folorunsho, and some members of his gang, stormed No.6 Ismail Abass Street at about 5am and gained entrance into one of the apartments. The cutlass-wielding men, according to a tenant, ordered a lady in the room to lie down in a bid to r*pe her. 

However, her father was said to have put up an act of bravery by engaging the armed men in a brawl, in the process policemen were contacted. A resident, who gave his name as Chima, said: 

“When the alarm was raised from the apartment that was being attacked, some people summoned courage and went into the apartment, where the father of the house (names withheld) was engaged in a fight with the robbers. 

“One of the robbers was apprehended, while the other fled on noticing that residents were aware of their presence.” 

The apprehended guy would have been lynched by the mob, but for the intervention of policemen. 

Lagos Police spokesperson, SP Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the incident, said: 

"It took reinforcement for police to rescue the robbery suspect, one Akeem Folorunso. He was taken for treatment and Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has directed that he should be transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, while effort is on to track his accomplices.”

S*x Video Scandal: Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, Hands Over Her Crown

I decided to ignore this story when the video leaked last week because most times there is nothing you can tell some ladies that could make them change until they get to the end game. If not that her lesbian video leaked, this one too would have continued to deny her acts.

Chidinma Okeke, the outgoing Miss Anambra 2015, whose s*x video went viral on social media has handed over her crown to Miss Anambra project executives.

Even her handover was allegedly staged-managed, as she had done it even before the s*x saga. Sigh!
