One Lanrewaju
Jaiyeola who claimed to be mentally unstable, was arrested by Rapid Response
Squad (RRS) with him 22 ATM credit
cards, 2 mobile phones, bank tellers and power bank.
The 39-year-old man was nabbed by the operatives along Ozumba
Nbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos, when he was seen carrying a backpack and
behaving suspiciously.
"When we
sighted him, he appeared like a mentally sick man but we invited him for
interrogation, he answered and responded normal to all our enquiries" on e
of the officers said".
"Afterwards,
he started straying from the normal course of our enquiries. This raised
further curiosity and we decided to check out his backpack. What we found was
startling; 22 assorted credit cards, 1 Nokia phone with flat battery, a
blackberry, a power bank, several bank tellers of recent bank transactions, and
lots of invoices amidst numerous pieces of papers.
"On further
scrutiny, we discovered that eight of the credit cards were still valid. Out of
these; three would expire in 2018, another three would expire in 2017 while two
would expire in 2016. All the credit cards bore different names and
banks." he added.
During interrogation at the RRS Headquarters in Alausa, the
suspect suddenly began to sound irrational and even threatened the
investigative officer.
"Initially, we noticed that he was mentally balanced because
he was answering the questions posted to him adequately. But all of a sudden,
he started to sound incoherent and illogical again,"
"He said 'I
will make life unbearable for you if you don’t let me go'. It was at this point
we realised that possibly he might be enjoying the patronage of some highly
placed people whom we believe he might working for,"
The suspect has been transferred to Special Anti-Robbery Squad
where he is expected to be subjected to further investigations and psychiatric
examinations.
