The perpetrators of the Ejigbo sodomy incident, involving three women being savagely tortured for stealing pepper worth N50, were paraded on February
25, 2014, Tuesday.
The shocking incident, which occurred in February 2013, is still far from being over.
The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, took the
investigation under personal control, while many activists want death penalty for the gang.
Addressing the press, the Police PPRO, Mr. Frank Mba declared four other suspects who are still at large, wanted.
Those wanted in the crime include Tiri (surname unknown), the suspect who stripped the young girl naked and also captured the torture on tape, TepabOluranti Akeem (surname unknown) and Michael Abolore.
The Nigeria police force, the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender (OPD) and civil society organizations led by the Women Arise team expressed their
gratitude to the members of the public who volunteered information that helped in tracking the suspects.
They further called on the public to assist
with information that could lead to the arrest of the other suspects at large.
