The
brothers who have been identified as Faith Chidioke and Sunday Ogbona
were arrested by policemen from the Alagbado division after being
alerted by a woman, who caught applying Sniper, a poisonous insecticide
on beans.
Zealynews.blogspot.com gathered that, while Chidioke and Sunday were picked up on Friday,
March 17, their elder brother, who owned the shop, was nabbed on Sunday
when he went to the station to secure their bail. The police said
41-year-old Faith had wanted to influence his brothers’ release by
allegedly offering the divisional police officer a N500,000 bribe, which
the latter rejected.
The suspects, who hail from Ebonyi state, were paraded on Wednesday,
March 22, at the Lagos State Police Command headquarters in Ikeja with
some bags of the “poisonous beans” and some bottles of Snipers recovered
from the shop.
18-year-old Chidioke disclosed that he wanted to preserve the beans with
the insecticide to prevent it from being infested with insects. Adding
that, it was his first time of putting the substance in the foodstuffs.
