Lagos Police spokesman tackles Arise TV’s Rufai Oseni over claim robbers stole 40 brain boxes in one night in Ketu
The spokesperson of the Lagos Command of the Nigeria police, Ben Hundeyin has cast aspersion on the claim by TV man, Rufai Oseni, that robbers stole 40 brain boxes from the cars parked on a street in Ketu, Lagos.
Rufai tweeted yesterday: “In ketu today, thieves raided, stole brain boxes of over 40 cars and stole from people. We can’t provide basic security in a mega city.”
Responding, SP Benjamin Hundeyin tweeted”
“Over 40 brain boxes, one day, one area? I have contacted both DPOs in Ketu and Alapere and I can confirm that there is no such report. I do not want to believe you’re spreading fake news. So I challenge you to mention the street.
We are waiting…”
Oseni responded by posting close-up pictures of one of the cars burgled.
Opinions are divided on the tweets. Some support Hundeyin and demanded for specifics to enable them probe, while some support Rufai, claiming that Ketu is crime-prone these days.
