Dismissed navy official nabbed for beating hotel worker
A dismissed Nigerian Navy official has been arrested for using his boys to help beat people up for money.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on his official X handle on Saturday.
According to him, the suspect who has been dismissed from the navy since 2000 was nabbed while his boys were beating up a hotel worker for daring to ask a customer who contracted him to execute the assault, to stop smoking.
Mr Hundeyin wrote, “Dismissed Nigerian Navy personnel, Muhammed Tunde (dismissed since 2000), making people believe he’s a serving military personnel, charges N20,000 to bring his boys and beat up anybody for you.
“He was apprehended while he and his boys were beating a hotel worker, a job contracted to him by one of the hotel customers who was asked to stop smoking in a ‘no smoking’ area of the hotel,” explained.
Mr Hundeyin said the police will commence prosecution of the suspect.
