At least four suspected members of the Badoo gang have been arrested over their alleged involvement in the recent killing of a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor, Victor Kanayo and a woman with her children in Ikorodu, Lagos.
Ibrahim Anifowose, 28, and Uche Igwe were arrested at their hideouts at Aremu Street, Ojota, for allegedly killing Kanayo.
Abdulrazaq Yahyaha and Abubakar Tenimu were apprehended at Ibeshe in connection with other killings.
According to the state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, two mobile phones belonging to the deceased persons were recovered from the suspects.
Edgal said Anifowose, Igwe and some other persons at large invaded the pastor’s home the day he was killed, adding that they entered his house by cutting the window.
The police commissioner said police discovered a grinding stone suspected to have been used by the pastor’s killers.
Edgal said: “Detectives swung into action immediately. The undercover operatives traced the suspects to their hideout at Ojota from where they were arrested. The detectives recovered the deceased telephone from the suspects.
“This will be the last time I will refer to the group as Badoo cult members. These people are hoodlums and murderers and should be referred to as such. I urge members of the public to see them as criminals.”
He said that detectives are currently on the trail of other members of the gang, stressing that all those arrested would be treated as murderers.

Obasanjo recently advised Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari in 2019 . But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment. “For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country. “And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said. AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...

Fresh Atiku posters flood Abuja with ‘strange’ inscriptions [PHOTO]

Fresh posters of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, with the inscriptions: ‘The real and the right’ yesterday surfaced in the streets of Abuja. The posters, which also bore ‘Pukka’ a Hindi word, which literally means ‘Genuine’ emerged after a report on how Atiku allegedly enlisted the assistance of two cerebral lawyers in Washington DC, United States of America to lobby the American government for recognition as winner of the last presidential election. Many of the posters were seen in the Central Business District within the Abuja city centre. Recall that Lauretta Onochie, the presidential aide on social media, had said she returned to Abuja on Tuesday to see Atiku’s photographs   with treasonable inscriptions. She counseled the former vice president to pursue his election petition at the Tribunal rather than commit to actions that may land him in jail for treason. However, DAILY POST findings indicate that the poste...
