During a stop
and search around 7Up area of Lagos, policemen were shocked to find a young man
Daniel Dabis, with his legs and hands tied to his back, at the back of a
Hilux
belonging to his boss, Mr. Wole Odunuga, an engineer.
During
preliminary investigation, Odunuga claimed that Daniel stole his money in his
Abuja home and fled to Lagos. He said he was taking him, who he described as
his office assistant, back to Abuja before the police stopped him.
So he wanted
to tie a fellow human being like this all the way from Lagos to Abuja?
He stated
that: “I have been searching for him all over the place. The search took me to
his village in Plateau State. It was one of his friends that told me he was in
Lagos where he was hiding.
"Precisely,
I was hinted he was staying at Mile 12 Market, Ketu. I drove down from Abuja
and I met him at Mile 12 Market, Ketu, where I picked him up.
“Initially, I
had taken him down to Ketu Divisional Police Station, Lagos, to report the
matter, but the officers at the station declined to detain him there. So, I had
no option than to take him back to Abuja”.
Odunuga, who
lives at Pent City Estate, Abuja, added: “That was what I was trying to do
before I was accosted by the police team on routine patrol under the Ketu/Ojota
flyover.”
But Daniel said:
“What I took from him were a ladder and a wheel barrow. He is estimating the
cost of the wheel barrow at N110,000 and the ladder, N90,000, that is all I
took from him. He has because of that tied my legs and hands to my back. His
plans were to drive me to Abuja. If not for the officers, he would have killed
me and dumped my body at the road side.”
