The police in Lagos state have 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 on January 9.

Confirming their arrest to newsmen, the state Commissioner of Police, Ishola Olanrewaju, stated 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 and when they got to Obalende, teamed up to murder the Uber rider and carted away his vehicle.

“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 st@bbing 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. “

CP Ishola mentioned that two other fleeing suspects were arrested in the Chevron area of the state.

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 said.

The police boss said the corpse of the deceased has been deposited in the morgue at Mainland Hospital, Yaba.
