| CP. Lagos State, Kayode Aderanti |
A furious
housewife in Lagos poured hot water on a suspected robber identified as
Kayode Oduto and got him arrested.
Oduto and his accomplice, Quadri Lateef, now in the custody of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos, had attacked the woman’s house at Kollington area of Alagbado on the outskirts of Lagos.
While the housewife poured hot water on Oduto and used hot pot to hit his face repeated, smashing it beyond recognition, her husband dispossessed the suspect of his gun and pinned him down.
Police investigators discovered that Lateef used to live in the area where they went to rob. Lateef told Oduto that he knew every nook and cranny of the area and was sure his knowledge would make the operation easy. Lateef picked a building, which he told Oduto was inhabited by a rich man, simply known as Mr Charles. When they reached the targeted building, the gate was locked, but the generator was on.
The two men quickly scaled the fence since they knew there were no dogs. Oduto switched off the generator and the two men took strategic positions. Oduto had a cut-to-size locally- made pistol, while Lateef had a toy gun. A few minutes after the generator went off Charles stepped out of the house to find out what went wrong. Oduto pointed a gun at his head and herded him back into the house, while Lateef followed closely behind.
The robbers ordered the man to bring his money and gold. He told them that the money was in the master’s bedroom. As they were walking towards his bedroom, the man suddenly turned and grabbed Oduto, trying to dispossess him of the gun. Rather than assist his partner, a petrified Lateef just stood and watched. A police source said: “The gun fell down, followed by the victim and Oduto.
The man was able to pin Oduto down. Lateef who had watched as his partner was pinned down, took to his heels. “As Lateef took off, the man shouted thief! thief ! His wife, who was cooking in the kitchen, rushed out. She had to use a rechargeable lantern to make out the figures on the ground since the generator was off. She saw her husband struggling to continue to pin Oduto down.
Immediately she realised what was happening, she ran back to the kitchen.” Investigators said the woman was boiling water, to prepare ‘Poundo Yam,’ before the attack on their home. She rushed back to the kitchen, came out with the hot water and poured it on the suspect’s face. “After she poured him the hot water, she used the pot to hit his face repeatedly. She ran outside and started shouting for help. Other residents ran to help and the police were invited. The suspect’s face was a mess,” the source added
