Operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FEDSARS,
Adeniji Adele annex, have arrested a notorious gangster allegedly
responsible for killing of several innocent people in Lagos.
The suspect, Alayode Idris, nabbed after five years on the run.
It was gathered that the suspect, Alayode Idris Abiola aka Aloma
reportedly wrecked havoc in the Mushin, Fadeyi and Oshodi areas ,
maiming and killing several innocent people.
It was also reported that the arrested suspect was also responsible
for the death of a nine-year-old girl Aminat Lateef who was killed in
front of her house in Fadeyi while returning from an errand on December
9, 2010.
Vanguard learned that prior to the incident, Aloma and his gang had
consistently threatened and terrorised resident of Fadeyi because he had
issues with a resident identified as Toba, a member Nation Union Road
Transport Worker.
Recounting the incident that claimed the life of his little niece,
34-year-old Wasiu Lateef, who witnessed the murder said: “We were
outside the house when she was sent on an errand, outside the compound.
Less than five minutes after she left the compound we started hearing
gunshot. The shots was so close that we had to scamper for safety but
from where I was, I saw her coming towards the house innocently, even as
about seven gunmen wearing black T-shirts were behind them shooting
sporadically.
“From where I was hiding behind a bus, I beckoned to her to come
because I didn’t want her to be cut up in the crossfire before she
entered the house. Unfortunately, as she hid where I was, Aloma
instructed his men to open fire that someone was hiding beside the bus.
As they opened fire one of the bullets hit her face and chest.
“On realising that they shot a minor he ordered his boys to move out.
He said: ‘’Mopol movement let’s go. Immediately they left, I carried
her, shouting at the top of my voice, as her parents rushed out.”
According to Mr Saheed Lateef, the deceased’s father “as I heard my
brother’s voice I thought he had been hit by a stray bullet but when I
ran out I saw him carrying my daughter with her clothes soaked in blood.
First we took her to Redemption Medical centre, Fadeyi but they
rejected her so we decided to take her to Lagos University Teaching
Hospital LUTH, as she was already gasping for breath, on our way to LUTH
she died at LUTH’s gate.
Mother of the deceased speaks
Narrating how she felt at that time, Jumoke Lateef, mother of the
deceased, said: at that time I was depressed, inconsolable, I actually
went to Toba house to cause trouble. I told him to leave the community,
because his continued stay in that community was bringing death to many
people who were victims to the senseless attacks.
“I miss her so much, watching her die in the pool of her own blood
for a crime she knows nothing about was heartbreaking. Aminat was our
first child; she was a primary five pupil of Ola-Emmanuel Nursery and
primary school. If Aminat Lateef was alive today she would have been
15-year-old and in secondary school. But her promising life was snuffed
out when she was only nine by suspected hoodlums led by Aloma.
“I have not stopped praying for the long hand of the law to catch up
with those responsible for the death of my daughter, Aminat. It took
five years for the police to arrest the man who led the gang. It shows
how our system operates. If not for God who is using policemen from
Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FEDSARS, Adeniji Adele annex Federal
Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FEDSARS, Adeniji Adele annex the case would
have been dead and buried. If people can kill others and get away with
it, it means they have become demi gods.”
It was gathered that some members of his gang were arrested and
charged to court while Aloma went into hiding for five years before he
was arrested by Operatives of Federal SARS.
