Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have busted a syndicate that specialises in robbing and raping only men. Among their victims were several foreigners who were raped through the anus while being recorded.
According to reliable police sources, the gang of eight members, made up of young men between the ages of 24 and 40, was tracked down when one of their victims summoned courage and petitioned the CP Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade. Detectives deployed were able to track down the suspects in the Lekki, Ajah, and Ikoyi areas of the state and were shocked at the number of victims whose rape video was found on their computers.
On their modus operandi, police sources said the young men usually perpetrate their evil acts by renting apartments in the highbrow areas of the city, after which they embark on searching for their victims. It was learned that they normally place notices in strategic areas of the city, advertising job openings and acting as estate agents. Sources said desperate job and accommodation seekers that respond to their advertisements will be taken to their apartments, usually situated in one of the booming estates, where they are subjected to all kinds of torture with a view to forcing them to release their account details, after which they will undergo several hours of anal sex by members of the gang.
According to sources, their operational method is to roam around with exotic cars, including high-flying SUVs. They place fake advertisements in strategic areas of Lekki, Ajah, Banana Island, and even Ikoyi, after which they also scout around, looking for healthy-looking men. As soon as they succeed in getting a victim, they drive the person to their apartment, where they torture him for hours.While torturing their victim, they will extract all the information about him, including his financial status.“As soon as they are in possession of those personal facts, they will swing into action by proceeding to his house or banks to empty his money and other valuables.
The second round of their operation is to subject their victim to hours of anal sex, during which they take turns to have their fill. They usually record their exploits on video and later relax to view them while enjoying their loot.”It was gathered that their criminal exploits were blown open after they succeeded in cornering and maltreating a mobile police officer. The enraged officer was said to have gone to one of the police stations in Lekki to lodge the report. Based on this development, the Commissioner of Police, Adegoke Fayoade, gave marching orders to his special squad to round up the criminals without delay.
The Special Squad, it was learned, succeeded in penetrating the gang and rounded up seven of their members, including their oldest member, said to be a lawyer.
They reportedly shocked detectives when they confessed that they have been operating for over three years and that they choose highbrow areas where they can easily get at well-nourished and endowed men.
Police sources said,” They were boasting to us about how many healthy-looking men they have sexed through the anus. They said they reject men who are not looking good, stating emphatically that they have no business with women. After their arrest, we confined them in separate cells so that they would not descend on our male suspects inside the cell.“Our greatest problem now is that some members of the devilish gang have escaped, and we strongly suspect that they must be carrying on with their devilish criminal acts wherever they are. We are spreading our dragnets, and we are sure that very soon we will round all of them up.
I must state that if not for the swiftness with which our commissioner directed the operation, many men in Lagos State would have been endangered species by now.”As of the time of writing this report, it was not possible to contact the state police command spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, as his telephone lines were not going.
One of their victims, who recounted his experience when they kidnapped him, said he was raped by more than six men. “I am so ashamed to admit that I was a victim. I had gone to buy land in Lekki; they took me to the site for inspection, and we agreed to meet and perfect the transaction.
They picked me up at the same site with a Prado Jeep, and we drove into a service apartment in Ikoyi. Immediately we entered, others came out, and they started beating me. I was forced to transfer N10 million through my mobile app while I begged for my life. When they were done, they started tearing my clothes, and I was forced to lie face down while they took turns raping. I never knew they recorded me until they finished. They threatened to share the video if I ever talk about what happened,” he lamented in tears.
