In a desperate bid to recover the debt owed, a young man resorted to the crudest methodology by tying his debtor to a stick for two days with a view to recovering his money.
As a result, the young creditor identified as Oluchi Okoye (a.k.a PACA) has been arrested by policemen attached to the Denton Police Station for tying his debtor, Reuben Alozie, to a stake over unpaid N4.6m debt.
According to the Lagos Police Command Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu revealed in a statement on Friday that the suspect tied the victim to a stick with ropes at No. 29, Abeokuta Street, Ebute Metta, Lagos from September 22 to 23, 2021, before he was eventually rescued by the police.
Okoye, the suspect, resorted to self-help after several efforts to recover his money from the victim failed.
The arrest of the suspect was made possible following a complaint lodged at the station by the victim’s wife, Angela Reuben who reported that her husband was deprived of his liberty by the suspect who held him hostage.
Following the arrest, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu directed that the suspect should be transferred to the Command’s Tactical team for diligent investigation and prosecution.
The Commissioner of Police uses this medium to warn people against taking the law into their own hands instead of taking legal actions to seek justice.
