A
man, identified as Sunday Ogbaide has been arrested by the Ketu Police
Division after he brought two big snakes to the office of the depot
chairman, Sunday Yusuf at the Ketu bus rapid transit depot in Lagos
State.
According to the man, he was sent by a yet-to-be identified person to sell the snakes to the BRT boss.
Yusuf said that no one could explain how the suspect gained entrance into the depot. “I
was in my office when the man presented two snakes to me. When I asked
him what his mission was, he said he was sent by someone who told him
that I would be interested in buying snakes. When I asked him to tell me
the name of the person that sent him, he said he did not know the name
of the person. I quickly raised the alarm and the security guards
arrived. The man passed through three main gates before arriving at my
office. No one could explain to me how he got in.”
It
was gathered that people attempted to beat up the suspect for bringing
the snakes but Yusuf was able to restore calm after which he called the
Divisional Police Officer, Ketu, SP Justin Umar who sent some policemen
to the scene to apprehend the suspects and kill the snakes.
However,
on getting to the station however, the suspect said he was a truck
pusher at Ketu Market. He got the snakes from Ibadan, Oyo State, and
thought he could make a lot of money by selling the snakes to the BRT
boss.
Confirming
the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said
the suspect would be charged to court on Thursday (today) with
attempting to induce fear and wilfully endangering human life with
dangerous animals.”
