The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 21-year-old US returnee, David Segun, and two others for allegedly killing an Uber driver in the Obalende area of Lagos State.

The Commissioner of Police, Ishola Olanrewaju, disclosed this while parading the suspects at the state command headquarters on Saturday.

Olanrewaju disclosed that Segun and his friends, Emeka Akwara (19) Samuel Ariori (21) and Lukman Ariori (19) ordered an Uber ride from Chevron in Lekki to Obalende at midnight on Thursday, January 9.

He said upon arriving at a lonely area in Obalende, the suspects allegedly robbed and killed the Uber driver by stabbing him multiple times in the neck.

According to him, the suspects were unable to snatch the vehicle, and two among them were apprehended on the spot by of the community.

He said, “On January 9, 2025, at about midnight, a case of conspiracy, armed robbery and murder was reported. One Emeka Akwara 19yrs, David Segun, 21yrs, Samuel Ariori, 21yrs and Lukman Ariori, 19yrs ordered an Uber at Chevron in the Lekki area – en-route to Obalende. On getting to Obalende in a lonely area, they robbed and killed the Uber driver by stabbing him multiple times in the neck, unfortunately, they were unable to snatch the vehicle.

“With the intervention of good Samaritans within the environs, two suspects were immediately arrested and were handed over to police operatives attached to Lion Building. “

The Police chief further stated that two other fleeing suspects were arrested in the Chevron area of the state, adding that the deceased’s corpse was deposited in the morgue at Mainland Hospital, Yaba.

Olanrewaju who explained that an investigation had begun into the incident described Segun as a US returnee as well as the gang’s leader.

While pointing at him, Olanrewaju said, “This is their team leader. He was sent home from America by his father. The mother at home could still not handle him. The failure of society is placed on the police. We are not complaining, it is a job we signed up for. They will be facing criminal prosecution right from Monday.

“I wonder the value of what this vehicle will fetch in the market that made them snuff the life out of the owner. Probably the man even took the vehicle on hire purchase,” he added.

Other suspects were paraded for kidnapping, cultism, armed robbery, carjacking and other various acts of criminalities.

The also noted that the command had intelligence-led policing during the yuletide season which resulted in a peaceful celebration.

“During this period, we had intelligence-led policing that resulted in the peaceful yuletide season that we had in Lagos. It is on record that Murtala Muhammed airport received nothing less than 500,000 diasporan Nigerians and ninety percent of whom did not go outside of Lagos for celebration,” he added.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

When kids are young, that is when you can teach them anything. Once a child is twelve, its already too late.

Team “talk to the child” will tell you the rod is too harsh for kids.

Kid that they should have used frequent resetting to shape his life.

21 yr old?
That's failed parenting

One big problem Gen Z have is their quest to make big money without investing the time and patience required to learn and go through the process. That's where Gen X who are their parents failed

And seeing the fact that many of these Gen Z are already single mothers and fathers makes me wonder what we will see in the next 15yrs

Back to the robbery, I wish them a speedy transition to hell for killing a guy huzzling to put food on the table. This is where jungle justice could have been better.

If they killed him and were all involved, same treatment

Imagine they just wasted someone life all because of a car .... This is where Jungle justice is required.... They should have been killed instantly....

To all so called Uber or taxify drivers, it's high time you resist from night work.. most of this so called yahoo boys have done dorime for December and are broke now .... They can do and undo all because they wanted to live Large. Abo oro lan so fun OMO luabi

This is wrong. Why kill a man hustling legitimately to put food on his table?

After people will say jungle justice is bad

17 yrs to 21 yrs
deadly age for boys and girls
this is the age parents should really put eyes on their children..
anything they start doing during this ages u can't stop them ....

Ohh fuqqqqq😫
I fear the worst for the generation!

People just come out to talk bullshit. Am not in of the killing,but atleast people shld not just just into conclusion. Mumu children for nairaland

There is no justification to whatsoever reason the boys had behind murdering an innocent man. Even if the
uber driver has done something bad to them, it still doesn’t justify their wicked act and the right thing that should have been done is report him to police station for investigation and jury.

Can’t you read in the story line of which the father sent him home due to his unruly attitude and the mother can’t control him? This is bad parenting! It seems the parents never had time to train the child and he grew up in a society where streets are filled with ill mannered children

This your comment get k-leg abeg. Old man like you no suppose Dey yan this nonsense

He was misbehaving in America and his father sent him back to Nigeria. Is Nigeria rehabilitation ground?

Society keeps suffering because of failed parenting.

FYA, only few millennials in their early 80’s gave birth to Gen Zs. Maybe you wanted to state Generation X who are most parents of Gen Z. Millennials gave birth more to Gen Alpha.

Besides, parenting doesn’t ascribe to any particular generation. It is a shared responsibility between father and mother to nurture their children to be well behaved from childhood. Will you say prophet Eli during Samuel era in the Bible that gave birth to two irresponsible children is Gen Y (millennials) ?

Kid that they should have used frequent resetting to shape his life.

Proverbs 22: 5 says it all.

Another key thing is to be good examples to them. Whatever you do, your children will mirror it and take it to a higher level than you.

You want them to read, let them see you reading. You want them to clean, let them see you cleaning and involve them.

One of my kids who is a toddler was in the habit of throwing stuff at me whenever he wants to give it to me... it was only lately that it dawned on me that i used to throw his clothes and candies at him to catch.

You want good behaviour from.your child? Be a good example for the child to follow.

They will imitate you to the bone.

Someday you will be a parent and you will change this your view. I have seen children from disciplined homes become cultists and drug addicts. I have seen children from very poor untrained backgrounds become responsible in the society.
Yes training a child right is important. But just pray for the right children.

Correction noted. Gen X rather

Each generation have their specific attributes and that influences parenting too. Father ooo, mother oooo both are parents. Parenting in boomers generation is absolutely different from Gen X and will get worse with millenials. So yes generations have everything to do with parenting.

Some of our parents will be in jail tagged as abs if what they did to us were captured in today's social media. Yet, that's the backbone of our discipline

Hmmm.. The problem is even the prisons may not reform them as expected 🥲

Colos money haff finished

This is so terrible!
May we not give birth to what will bring shame and disgrace to our family.

That tribe hmmmm

The guy go know the difference between kirikiri and American prisons.

They will arrest him and release him on bail

He will be back to the street after 1 month
