Wife of an offering House of Representatives member was fingered yesterday in the torture, beating and alleged try to kidnap two feamales in Isale Eko area of Lagos. Sources say that yesterday morning at about 7.15a.m, a Toyota Camry car that has been employed for the operation caused a stir in Bamgbose Street in Lagos Island at the heart of Lagos metropolis.Like a bolt from the blue, six unidentified ladies, carrying canes came out from the unregistered grey coloured car and advanced towards No 101, Bamgbose Street.
The unmasked ladies met one Alhaja Basidat Ajadi Balogun, a small business woman resident in the road and repeatedly flogged her as she wept. (The woman pictured above)Balogun, who was simply shouting towards the top of her voice while the beating was going on, tried without success to find out from the rampaging ladies why she was being beaten.Based on a resident of the street, who pleaded to not be mentioned, whilst the severe beating was going on, Alhaja Jolaade Batola, wife of an influencial legislator, a House of Representatives member, representing Mainland federal constituency, was seen seated, inside the unregistered Toyota Camry car and giving orders to the lady on what direction to go for their victim.
The Nigerian Compass on Saturday, further learnt that the rampaging ladies planned to take the business woman away but also for her resistance. The boot of these Camry was thrown open, while the woman in the car ordered the ladies to drag the woman and throw her into the boot.Independent checks at the Lion Building police command however showed that the matter has been reported there even while our correspondent on Friday traced the battered business woman to the General Hospital, who had been receiving treatment.
Though she was reluctant to talk with The Nigerian Compass on Saturday, when she opened, she said she was standing outside her resident, talking to a tenant, when the six ladies, unknown to her, accompanied, by Mrs Batola arrived the spot and begun to beat her up.She however insisted that she does not know exactly why the ladies beat the hell out of her, insisting that she was not near to the wife of the House of Representatives member.
“Though Alhaja Batola owns a store on the same Bamgbose Street, we are certainly not close. Though I do greet her,” said the victim. The girl whose body was full of scares from the beating put the price of her medical treatment as well as some of jewelries she was wearing when she was attacked at N600,000, and confirmed that however for the residents, who mobilised and confronted the ladies, she has been kidnapped.Inquiries at the Lion Building police station, in Lagos Island revealed to your correspondent that the case have been filed. The woman was asked to acquire a police report on the incident, a police source disclosed.Attempts built to see Alhaja Owolabi Batola for her touch upon the incident proved abortive as her shop located on a single Bamgbose Street wasn't opened yesterday.
