Armed robber and rapist who asked to be killed escapes from police custody in Lagos
A notorious armed robber and rapist, who told police in a viral video that it’ll be best to kill him to prevent him committing further crimes, has escaped from the custody of the Lagos State Police Command.
Adeniyi Ajayi had explained weeks ago that he was initially arrested for petty crimes and went to jail. He said he came out from jail worse than before and started carrying arms to rob. He also raped some of the women in homes he robbed. It was alleged that he raped no fewer than 8 women.
He told police that if sent to jail again, he’s certain he’ll come out worse. He begged them to kill him instead.
