Warning !! Graphic Photo- Custom Officer Pours Acid on Sales Girl: Says: "I am Above Arrest"


News coming out of Badagry alleges that a customs officer in Lagos, identified only as Mr. Nwaeze, poured sulfuric acid, a very corrosive strong acid on an innocent woman while ranting profanities.

After committing the act, eye witness say, they heard him making the all too familiar remarks made by the rich and powerful most times boasting that he would get away with the crime because he is “above arrest” "i will deal with you and nothing will happen"

He is well known in the area because his family owns a bar, neigbours say he is in charge of the Customs unit at Mosafejo Aradagun in the Badagry area. Tope Fadipe, the victim has been a sales person at the bar/store owned by the suspect’s family for 3 years which also makes the case one of domestic abuse, something that is now frowned upon even in Nigeria.

According to Sahara Reporters:

    On Friday, the 9th May, 2014, she was accused of not remitting N50,000 stock sales, and she had argued her defense.

    However, community residents say, Mr. Nwaeze got frenzied at her refuting the allegation, and a heated argument escalated where he allegedly had bathed her with a deadly acid solution.

    Sympathizers say the matter was reported at the Badagry Police Station, and Mr. Nwaeze had boasted no one could arrest him. On Saturday, the 10th of May, one day after the incident, Mr. Nwaeze was said to have appeared at the Police Station, and had returned shortly afterwards to show he is above arrest.

    Currently, residents say, Nwaeze belched his car radio speakers loudly whenever driving in the street, with a carriage posting to show that he is above impunity since the May 9th incident.

    A resident in the street told SaharaReporters that it is part of Mr. Nwaeze’s forte, to “intimidate and oppress people with impunity,” due to his status as a Customs Officer.

    The victim, Tope Fadipe, is currently being treated for her severe burns at the Badagry General Hospital. Witnesses and doctors say her condition is worsening since that attack.

    Saharareporters learned through a medical source that, Nwaeze has now tried to secretly collect Ms. Tope from the hospital, without giving off any hint what he wants to do with her.
