In what seem to be a direct taunt at Lagos State Commissioner of police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, a 29-year old suspected cult leader, Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Small Jpron, said his officers allegedly facilitated his freedom from prison over five murder cases he had before Lagos courts.
Owoseni had ordered the re-arrest of Balogun after he got an information that the suspected criminal was out of prison custody where he was remanded after an allegations that he bribed police officers and court officials to ensure his release from prison.
Balogun was earlier this year arrested and charged before a Lagos courts where he was remanded in prison custody for the alleged murder.
He was arrested over the cult war in Shomolu and Bariga areas where several lives were lost and properties destroyed.
However, P.M.EXPRESS gathered that he did not spend more than two weeks before he was freed despite the glaring evidence against him and his confessional statement.
