Detectives attached to the Lagos State Police Command have arrested four
suspected armed robbers, who allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old Moradeun Balogun to
death at the Gbagada area of Lagos State.
The suspects were alleged to have stabbed the lady on the neck on
December 3, 2019, leading to her death.
The suspects were identified as Ugochukwu Udochukwu, Chidebere Nnanna,
Samuel Nnanna and David Obi.
The suspects were arrested two days after they attacked the lady as she
was returning from work.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, speaking
yesterday, said the suspects were arrested in connection with the murder of
Balogun.
Odumosu said: “On December 3, 2019, at about 8p.m. Moradeun Balogun was
attacked on her way from work at NCIE bus stop, Gbagada. The deceased was
stabbed in the neck and her Lenvo Computer Laptop stolen from her. It took
detectives attached to the command painstaking investigations and surveillance
to arrest the suspects. Items stolen from the deceased were recovered from
them.”
It will be recalled that the victim was rushed to R-Jolad Hospital in
Bariga area of the state, where she was allegedly not attended to because of a
police report was not presented by the Good Samaritans, who came to her rescue.
The hospital, however, had denied the claim, insisting that she was assessed by
two doctors before being referred to the Gbagada General Hospital for Vascular
Surgery.
The CP said that suspects would be charged to court after completion of
investigation of the matter.
Speaking on his vision and mission for 2020, Odumosu said: “We’re going
to make the state unsafe for robbers. In the year 2020, my mission as the state
Commissioner of Police is to provide a safe and secured state, which will
guarantee the socio-economic well-being of the people and enhance their quality
of life. This would be achieved through evolving a more courageous, dedicated,
humane and professional police officers in the state.”
Odumosu further said: “We’re going to implement our community based
policing policies and strategies that would close the gaps between the police
and the people, foster cordial relationship and build strong and effective
partnerships. We’re also going to develop on our Intelligence led policing
approach, and unbiased investigation of criminal cases and diligent
prosecution, also respect for and protection of human rights and zero tolerance
