Their identities were given as Olawale Olushote 20; Idowu
Gborokini 29 and Seyi Adewunmi, 26.
According to Olushote, “I was forced into cultism by some of
my course mates because of my built and intimidating looks. I was told I could
one day become the Capone. But I have never killed anyone.
“Rather, I was attacked by members of Eiye confraternity,
where I had gone to charge my phone. I did not know some members lived in the
area.
“They stabbed me with a knife and broken bottle on the head.
They even put some cartridges in my pocket, which the police found on me when I
was handed over to them. I don’t own a gun let alone cartridges.”
Idowu Gborokini and Seyi Adewunmi denied being cultists.
They claimed to be musician and bricklayer, respectively. They said they were
arrested during a raid by policemen.
When contacted, Lagos State Deputy Police Public Relations
Officer, Damasus Ozoani, said the suspects have been transferred to the Special
Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, from where they would be charged to court at the end
of investigation.
