The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has condemned the act and directed that the matter be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba for proper investigation and prosecution.

In another development, the police operatives attached to Surulere Division have arrested one Peter Arinola, at Empire Area, Surulere, Lagos State, with an English Pistol while he was negotiating and harassing one lady “prostitute” for sex.

The suspect intended to use the pistol to intimidate the lady to agree to his terms and the amount he wanted to pay, but the lady insisted on certain amount of money. Peter brought out the pistol and wanted to force the lady to have sex. The lady raised alarm and Peter was overpowered and arrested by the people around the brothel.
