operatives of Lagos State Task Force alongside 14 others, “I live at 4,
Akinlabi Street, Agbotikuyo, in Agege.
“I
am from Okene in Kogi State. I am a sectional head of Awawa Boys and have raped
more than five girls around Dopemu area. My gang has burgled many shops at
Aluminium Village and sold Indian hemp at beer parlours and night clubs at N100
per wrap before we go for our usual night robbery operations.
“We
collect N2,000 to N3,000 everyday from individual aluminium shop owner at
Dopemu area and that they buy Indian hemp from another Awawa Boys kingpin named
Olata, at Oloosha area at Mushin.”
The
other suspects are Ajayi Babatunde Lukumon, 29; Ajose Anthony, 24; Adebayo

The
father of two of the suspects (Popoola Fatai and Popoola Yakubu), Alhaji
Musibaudeen Popoola, 66, said he had warned his children to stop following
these bad gangs around Dopemu area.
Alhaji
Popoola said: “I found it extremely difficult to believe when I was told that
two of my sons were among those arrested members of Awawa Boys.
“I
only came, as a disciplined father, to tell them that the end has come. It is
going to be a big lesson to other children that they must obey their parents.”
It
was learned that operatives of the Lagos State Task Force arrested the cult
members at Dopemu area of Agege after they received intelligence report on the
disturbing activities of notorious Awawa Boys.
It
was gathered that during the operation, which was carried out at midnight and
led by SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, Chairman, Lagos State Task Force, the suspects and
other affiliated group leaders fought the officers with dangerous weapons
before they were overpowered.
Reacting
to the arrest, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, directed that the
suspects should all be immediately charged to court.
