The Barbington Macaulay Junior Seminary School kidnappers did not rape or abuse Lagos schoolgirls

By
The Lagos state police has paraded persons arrested over kidnap of students of Barbington Macaulay Junior Seminary School (two suspects pictured below).





Emmanuel Arigidi, one of the abductors of the Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary schoolgirls arrested by the Lagos police, says they did not rape or otherwise physically assaulted the girls.

Arigidi could not explain their motivation to forcefully enter the school premises and kidnap the three girls.

Speaking to a ThisDay reporter, the kidnapper said they approached the school and escaped via canoes at the edge of Adama creeks.

Arigidi was apprehended by the police during a nighttime rescue operation. A source within the Lagos State Police Command says the kidnapper was nabbed when he came out to buy food.

Also arrested were two suspects who helped the kidnappers register the SIM card they used to contact the victims’ parents.

Following Arigidi’s arrest, the father of one of the gang members was summoned to talk to the kidnappers and warn them about the impending aerial police attack. The suspects, sensing there was nothing they could do but release the girls, took the girls to Igbo-Okuta Bridge, Imota and made an anonymous police call.

Fatai Owoseni, the Lagos state police commissioner who was stationed at the area for the night, stormed the bridge and carried the girls away to safety.

The girls have since been reunited with their parents and underwent medical tests.

Timilehin Olosa, Tofunmi Popoolaniyan and Deborah Akinayo were kidnapped from a classroom in the Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary School on February 29. The abductors, about 15 heavily armed men, reportedly dug a hole under the fence surrounding the school, started sporadic shooting and overpowered the security personnel on the premises. They escaped through the school fence together with the hostages.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
