Man docked for using baboon, snake to rob in Lagos

Men lead trained baboons and a hyena during 50th anniversary celebrations of Nigerian independence, in Abuja, Nigeria, Friday, Oct. 1, 2010. Two car bombs blew up on Friday as Nigeria celebrated, killing at least seven people in an unprecedented attack on the capital by suspected militants from the country's oil region. The attacks claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta came as President Goodluck Jonathan and other dignitaries sat only a 10-minute walk away. "There is nothing worth celebrating after 50 years of failure," read a statement issued by the group shortly before the attack. (AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)

Man docked for using baboon, snake to rob in Lagos

A 27-year-old man, who allegedly terrorised and robbed people with baboon and snake, was on Thursday charged before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.

The accused, Mohammed Nafiu, 27, is facing a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, breach of public peace and robbery.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

However, the prosecutor, ASP Eranus Nnamonu insisted that the accused committed the offences on March 7 and 17 when he terrorised the residents of Ogba and Ijaiye in Lagos.

He said Mr. Nafiu, armed with a full grown baboon and a venomous snake, also terrified a crowd waiting to board a bus at Ogba Bus Stop.

Mr. Nnamonu said the accused isolated a witness, Joshua Odogwu, and thereafter obtained N57, 000 from him.

“The obviously terrified victim dropped all he had in his bag along with N57, 000 cash, which the accused collected,” he said.

In addition, he said the accused had on March 17 visited the shop of a man, Henry Ugwuokoh, and forcefully obtained N230, 000.

The offences, Mr. Nnamonu noted, contravened Sections 166, 294, 295 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
