Aluminium fabricator threatens uncle with gun for sending him out of house
A 30-year-old aluminium fabricator, Ibrahim Odulana, has been arrested for after being found in possession of firearms.
He allegedly threatened his uncle with a gun for sending him out of the house.
Odulana was arraigned before the Ogba Magistrates Court, alongside his friends, Abiodun Quadri and Ahmed Alagbe.
The suspect claimed he was under the influence of alcohol.
”I had a problem with my uncle because he sent me out of the house and I went to get myself drunk, before I knew what was happening, I had brought out a gun to threaten him,” he said.
“The gun was given to me by one Big Hammed. He gave me the gun with six cartridges to keep for him five months ago.”
Police prosecutor, Abiola Adewale, accused the suspects of belonging to a cult group.
Adewale said that on May 25, 2018, around 6pm on Akintunde Street, Lady Lak, Bariga, Lagos, they were caught in illegal possession of one pump-action gun, with six live cartridges.
Odulana and his gang pleaded not guilty to the charge, and the court granted them bail of N100,000 each. The case has been adjourned to September 10, 2018.
