A 36-year-old man is now in the
custody of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly drugging a Chinese man
to dispossessed of his N1million and 400 dollar.
The man, identified as Roland, a
Nigerian based in Ghana, was alleged to have drugged the Chinese man identified
as PaPa and stolen the money from the Chinese man.
It was gathered that Papa who
imports handkerchief from China, was connected to Roland by a Ghananian based
business man who had traded with Papa before.
Meanwhile, on getting to Nigeria,
Roland who contacted Papa in Kevison hotel, where he was lodged, was said to
have drugged Papa through his noodles food and removed his warehouse key and
money from his hotel room.
Papa sister, Zhang Bo Fang who
narrated the incident in English, said her brother (Papa) was unconscious and didn't
know what was happening, while she was busy searching every nooks and crannies
for him.
Her words: "I was always
hanging around our warehouse in Agric, hoping my brother will show up but he
did not. I became worried. I called all his mobile phones none of it was going
through. So I was afraid and reported to the police."
It was gathered that Roland
alongside some other men he had hired, went to Papa's warehouse, opened it and
started loading the Goods in the warehouse inside a truck.
Unfortunately for them, Papa's
sister who had come to the warehouse to get some Goods was shocked to see
Roland and the young men loading her brother's Goods. She quickly alerted the
police.
The policemen, who quickly swung
into action, arrested Ronald who took them to Papa's hotel.
It was gathered that Papa who was
found unconscious in the room, was rushed to the hospital where he regained
consciousness.
Meanwhile, Ronald denied drugging
Papa.
He said: "I stayed with Papa
and discussed with him a lot. We became close and he gave me the key to his
warehouse to go and pick the Goods I paid for. I didn't steal any money, phone
or even drugged him! I was surprised to have met him unconscious too. The sister
is just lying."
The state Commissioner of Police Mr.
Umaru Manko said that Papa's case was a trend now employed by desperate young
men to get rich.
His words: "We are now aware of
this new trend and we have alerted hoteliers to be on the lookout for such
people."
Meanwhile some suspected vandals who
specialize in vandalizing pipeline around the creeks in Festac were also
arrested and paraded with 100 jerry cans of petrol.
The young men, who claimed that their
boss, one Fatai Apase, was always selling the petrol to some readymade
customers, said they used boat during wee hours to carry out their operation.
Meanwhile the police are still
hunting for the leader, Fatai Apase.
