Category: Bizarre & Odd News
According to reports, a customs officer in Lagos, identified simply
as Mr. Nwaeze, has poured acid on an innocent woman and boasted that he
would get away with the crime because he is “above arrest”.
The officer, who is in charge of the Customs unit at Mosafejo
Aradagun in the Badagry area of the state, is said to have poured the
dangerous chemical on one Tope Fadipe, a salesgirl at a store owned by
the suspect’s family.
The act resulted in serious injury to Ms. Fadipe, who has served the
family for 3 years, with Mr. Nwaeze boasting that he “can do and undo”.
According to Sahara Reporters:
On Friday, the 9th May, 2014, she was accused of not remitting N50,000 stock sales, and she had argued her defense.
However, community residents say, Mr. Nwaeze got frenzied at her
refuting the allegation, and a heated argument escalated where he
alledgedly had bathed her with a deadly acid solution.
Sympathizers say the matter was reported at the Badagry Police
Station, and Mr. Nwaeze had boasted no one could arrest him. On
Saturday, the 10th of May, one day after the incident, Mr. Nwaeze was
said to have appeared at the Police Station, and had returned shortly
afterwards to show he is above arrest.
Currently, residents say, Nwaeze belched his car radio speakers
loudly whenever driving in the street, with a carriage posting to show
that he is above impunity since the May 9th incident.
A resident in the street told SaharaReporters that it is part of
Mr. Nwaeze’s forte, to “intimidate and oppress people with impunity,”
due to his status as a Customs Officer.
The victim, Tope Fadipe, is currently being treated for her
severe burns at the Badagry General Hospital. Witnesses and doctors say
her condition is worsening since that attack.
Saharareporters learned through a medical source that, Nwaeze has
now tried to secretly collect Ms. Tope from the hospital, without
giving off any hint what he wants to do with her.
