“I Did Not Burn Any Police Station, I Only Stole Two Crates Of Beer And A Generator”-Hoodlum Debunk Accusations of Burning Police Stations

 

Taoreed Hamzat, a hoodlum convict who was apprehended by the police has debunked accusations of burning police stations.

He indicated that he was not part of the hoodlums who caused the burning of the police stations but rather took two crates of Trophy beer and a small generator amid the vandalization of the police station.

He said:

“I AM INDEED A PROMOTER AND FINANCIAL INVESTOR OF THE NATION NEWSPAPER AND THE TVC. IT WAS WIDELY KNOWN AND MADE PUBLIC THROUGH THE MEDIA THAT CERTAIN MALICIOUS ELEMENTS WERE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION TO ATTACK THE NATION NEWSPAPER AND THE TVC FACILITIES IN LAGOS.”

“THE ATTACKERS ARRIVED. BOTH FACILITIES WERE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. ALTHOUGH I WAS EQUIPPED WITH A WARNING OF THE IMMINENT INVASION, I DID NOT CALL ANYONE TO GO TO THE ARMY OR THE POLICE OR TO ASK FOR THEIR INTERVENTION, LET ALONE ATTACK, KILL OR INJURE THOSE WHO HAD RAZED AND DESTROYED THESE PROPERTIES TO THE GROUND. I DID NOT WANT BLOODSHED.”

“THESE ELEMENTS, MOSTLY HIRED BY MY POLITICAL OPPONENTS, WREAKED HAVOC AND DESTROYED THESE BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES, AND I THANK GOD THAT THE STAFF OF THESE TWO MEDIA INSTITUTIONS ESCAPED LARGELY UNHARMED.”
