There was pandemonium in Ikorodu, Lagos, in the early hours of
yesterday, as another attack by suspected Badoo cultists was recorded
in Igbo Agbowa Area near Igbogbo.
The incident was said to have occurred after a vigil at a white garment church.
Sunday
Sun learnt that the alleged perpetrator of the act quietly sneaked into
one of the rooms where members were relaxing and hit a 14-year-old boy
with a stone on the head.
The boy, who was said
to have gone to sleep shortly before the attack was said to have been
hit again in the mouth as he attempted to raise the alarm.
Sensing
danger, the Badoo suspect was said to have quickly handed a white
garment to his colleague to enable him mix with others in the ensuing
confusion. The accomplice was said to have quickly scaled the fence of
the church even as neighbours mistook him for a member of the church.
Luck
however ran out on the Badoo suspect identified as Ahmed as the injured
boy was able to identify him among the crowd. Sunday Sun learnt that
the dreadlocks he wore exposed him. Prior to the incident, a member of
the church who was said to have fallen into a trance had queried the
presence and profession of the suspect. He was said to have cited some
professions but these were dismissed, as the member said the exact
profession of the man would be exposed sooner than later. The victim is
currently recuperating in hospital while the Badoo suspect has been
handed over to the police.
A police source at
the Ipakodo Police Station told Sunday Sun that Ahmed’s phone rang for
close to two hours after his arrest. Lagos State Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO) Olarinde Famous-Cole promised to get back to
the reporter on the incident but never did as at the time of filing the
story.
