By Okosun Dennis
Police operatives attached to Surulere Division have arrested one Peter Arinola, at Empire Area, Surulere, Lagos State, with an English Pistol while he was negotiating and harassing one lady “prostitute” for sex.
The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said on Sunday that the suspect used the pistol to intimidate the lady to agree to his terms and the amount he wanted to pay, but the lady insisted on certain amount of money.
As a result, Peter brought out the pistol and wanted to force the lady to have sex hence she raised alarm and Peter was overpowered and arrested by the people around the brothel.
As soon as the police was alerted, they swung into action as further investigation has revealed that the suspect used to assist an armed robber (name withheld) to keep the pistol for operations.
The police later recovered five rounds of ammunition in the room of the lady during the course of their investigation.
The Commissioner of Police has ordered that the owner of the pistol and suspected armed robber, who is at large, be apprehended by all means and brought to book.
