leader, Tobi Akinbayo, a.k.a Scorpion. Akinbayo was arrested
with two others, Muyideen Olayinka and Ibrahim Olaniran, at

Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force, Superintendent

confirmed that the nefarious activities of the Awawa gang had
been giving his agency and other state security services sleepless
nights.
Egbeyemi alleged that the gang was notorious for several
reported cases of rape, armed robbery and killing of innocent
citizens in the state.
The police boss said the agency received lots of petitions about
activities of the Awawa Boys and that he directed the
Surveillance Until of the task force to closely monitor their
activities at different parts of the state, leading to their arrest.
He added that other members of the group who are still at large,
include one Paul a.k.a Bouncing, leader of ‘Nokia Group’ and
Habeeb a.k.a Oluwa of ‘Shitta Boys’, “who have killed, raped
and robbed innocent citizens of their valuable property around
Aluminum Village in Dopemu, Agege.”
Akinbayo, who lives at No. 10 Salako Street, Aluminum Village,
confessed that “he and his boys raped, burgled and killed
innocent citizens who confronted them during any of their
operations around Dopemu area.”
The 28-year-old suspect, a native of Kuta-Ilegbo Town,
Abeokuta, in Ogun State, disclosed that ‘Awawa Boys’ is one
umbrella and they only have branches at different parts of the
state, while he is the leader of the group that controls Dopemu
and its environs.
President of the Aluminum and Accessories Association, Dopemu
Branch, Biliaminu Oladimeji, disclosed that he and his members,
including residents around the area, had lost several millions of
Naira to activities of the ‘Awawa Boys’ and other dangerous
groups around the area.
He confessed that since the arrest was made, other members
who have always been threatening them had vacated the area
for fear of being arrested.
The Twitter employee who deactivated President Donald Trump's Twitter account has been revealed. In a new interview with TechCrunch , contractor Bahtiyar Duysak from Germany opened up on how the President's page disappeared for 11 minutes one day in November.He said "In my opinion, it was definitely a mistake and if I am involved with this, I really apologize if I hurt anyone. "I didn't do anything on purpose but as I said, I had a wild time in America and I was tired sometimes and everyone can do mistakes." I didn't hack anyone. I didn't do anything I wasn't authorized to do…I didn't do any crime." As for why Bahtiyar decided to come forward today, he claims that he simply wants the media to back off from investigating who is responsible. "I just want to continue an ordinary life," "I had to delete hundreds of friends because reporters are stalking me. I just want to continue an ordinary life." http://if...
