Men of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, of Lagos State Police Command
have arrested a suspected madman with 22 Automatic Teller Machine, ATM,
cards, two mobile phones and power bank in Victoria Island.
Lanrewaju Jaiyeola, 39, was apprehended by the police after the
suspicious manner he carried a backpack along Ozumba Mbadiwe Road. After
he was searched, 22 assorted credit cards, one Nokia phone, a
blackberry, a power bank, several bank tellers of recent bank
transactions and lots of invoices, amidst numerous pieces of papers,
were found on him.
It was 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 of various banks.
RRS Commander, ACP Olatunji Disu, confirmed the report. Disu
revealed that upon arrival at the RRS Headquarters in Alausa, the
suspect made “statements suggestive of somebody disguising as a mad man to perpetrate crime around that axis.”
He said: “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 sounding incoherent and illogical.
