Operatives 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.
The man, who identified himself as Lanrewaju
Jaiyeola, 39, was intercepted by the police after the suspicious manner he
carried a backpack along Ozumba Mbadiwe Road.
A reliable police source said 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.
He added that they 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.
Confirming the arrest, RRS Commander, ACP Olatunji
Disu, added 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 ade-quately. But
all of a sudden, he started sounding incoherent and illogical.
“He threatened the investigative Police officer,
saying ‘I will make life unbearable for you if you don’t let me go’.
