2015-06-15
[PULSE.NG] Police have locked away
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
a 65-year-old blacksmith who sells guns to armed robbery gang and cultists.
This isn't the same 65-year-old man who got sat on by the elephant in the other story. This guy's much taller. Now he is, anyway.
The man identified as Najim Bakare said he started selling guns to make ends meet. He was in Lagos alongside three others involved in cult activities.
"What kind of cult activities?"
The co-suspects, Adewale Odusote, TairuTairu Idris and Dare Ayetoba, were arrested for allegedly causing trouble in the Mobil Road area of Ajah, Lagos.
"Calling forth demons."
It was gathered that Odusote, 22, a native of Epe, Lagos, was apprehended by the police attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) after a tip-off on a robbery incident. He was reportedly heading to deliver a gun to a robbery gang in a hideout.
"How many'd you call forth?"
Police recovered double-barrelled short guns sold to the gang by Bakare, as well as one live cartridge and one jack knife.
"Only the one, but he wuz a big 'un!"
In his confession, Bakare said, "I sold the gun to the gang for N30,000 and used the money to meet some domestic needs."
"What kind of domestic needs?"
"Sulfur. Chicken blood. Toads' eyes. That sort of thing."

"I am a blacksmith. I make hoes, cutlasses and other metal appliances. I also make guns. It is true that I sold the gun to the gang. I sell guns because I need to meet domestic needs. I sold it to the boys for N30,000. They did not tell me they were cultists."
"How'd you find out they were?"
"A little demon told me."
