Badoo: Stop Living In Isolated Areas Lagos Police Warns Residents
Bankole Abe
Following the recurring issue of mass killing of Families allegedly by the Badoo cult group, The Lagos State Police Command has warned Lagos residents to stop living in isolated and unsafe areas.
The Police said people living in isolated and unsafe areas might be open to attacks by criminal gangs.
Speaking through its spokesperson, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, Lagos Police Command said the warning became important due to the murder of four family members at Ibeshe, Ikorodu, at the weekend.
“A murder incident was reported during the early hours of Sunday, July 30 where police operatives of the Lagos State Command responded to a distress call at Oke Ota, Ibeshe, Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
“Mobilizing to the scene, police operatives found it extremely difficult to locate the house which was situated in a thick forest where it is remotely impossible for anybody to identify a dwelling house in the area.
“Eventually arriving at the scene on foot, the house is just a room and parlour with one open window and no visible form of security.
“There, a family of five was attacked and three died on the spot while one died while receiving treatment at the hospital.
‘’The last member is alive and responding to treatment,’’ the police spokesperson said.
He also appealed to the community leaders to identify persons staying in isolated areas which are no longer safe to come and report to the police.
“This should be done in order to stop people from moving into the unsecured area without proper social structures.
“The command also wishes to inform members of the public to come forward with useful information to aid the police and not resort to jungle justice as the investigation is ongoing,” the statement said.
