Two men arrested with 50 litres of blood

---

Policemen attached to the Imota Police Station in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State have arrested two men for allegedly being in possession of human blood stored in two jerrycans of 25 litres each.

It was gathered that while one of the men was identified as Alfa Balogun Tajudeen Ogunsanya, who hails from Gberigbe community in Ikorodu, the other man was a stranger who residents were not able to identify. One of the residents of Gberigbe, who gave his name as Amos Oludero, told our correspondent that the men were arrested while trying to alight from a car near Gberigbe Town Hall in Ikorodu.
He said: “We identified one of the men as a native of this town but the other man is strange to us. They wanted to alight from a car near the town hall opposite Fezbam filling station, each of them with a 25-litre jerrycan. While Ogusanya came down first, the cover of the jerrycan being carried by the second man opened and blood spilled on the ground.”
Oludero said this attracted the attention of other residents and passers- by who came together and discovered the kegs were full of blood. He added that they were immediately arrested and taken to Imota Police Station by policemen. Another resident, who craved anonymity, said that it might be a move by Ogunsanya to incriminate another family over land dispute.
He said: “This was attempted in the past since. The Appeal Court ruled in favour of Orelabi family on the disputed mass of land in Gberigbe. “The Alfa arrested yesterday is from Ogunsanya family. He might be going to keep the cans in the compound of the other family and later call the police to arrest members of that family.”
Meanwhile, a police source said the men had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, for further investigation. Efforts made to speak with the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Kenneth Nwosu, for confirmation failed as he refused to pick his calls or responded to text message sent to his mobile phone.http://newtelegraphonline.com/two-men-arrested-with-50-litres-of-blood/
