32 year old Janet Effiong has been arrested for reportedly sending an armed robber after her boyfriend for cheating on her.

Janet, who owns a restaurant in the Victoria Garden City (VGC) area of Lekki, hired Talabi, for N20,000 to attack her ex-lover, identified as Murphy.Talabi had reportedly agreed to get two more men, and had collected N10, 000 as advance payment from Janet.

On the fateful day, Talabi got in touch with Murphy, who worked as a cab driver, to take him to Ajao Estate, with the intention of carrying out the attack on the road. When Talabi brought out a toy gun to threaten his victim, the RRS policemen swooped on the two men and got Talabi arrested.

Effiong, who hails from Uruan, Akwa Ibom State, said she hired Talabi to deal with her ex-lover because Murphy forced her to abort her pregnancy on two occasions and later abandoned her for other women.

She said: “I contacted Femi (Talabi) to help me deal with my former lover. Murphy and I had been dating since 2012. I lavished money on him, thinking he would marry me. He even borrowed N200, 000 from me and failed to pay back. He also impregnated me on two occasions and he forced me to abort them. I insisted I would not abort the third one, and he promised to take care of the baby. But it was a lie. So, I hired Femi to trace him and beat him up. Femi said he would get two other friends to do the job. I did not know he would go alone. I promised to pay Femi N20,000. I did not plan to kill my lover. I only wanted to punish him for neglecting me for other women.”

Talabi who hails from Epe, Lagos, said the cab driver became suspicious as he wanted to attack him and a fight started which attracted the policemen that arrested him and his victim.

He said: “I live in the Bariga area, but work as an Air conditioner technician in Lekki. I am not a cultist. It was Janet (Effiong) who contacted me to do a job for her. I knew her as a restaurant manager. She said the man was her ex-lover and had abandoned her. I called him to take me in his cab to a destination on Airport Road, Isolo, where the attack would take 

 place. I was to pay him N7,000 for the trip. Janeth told me to only assault, and not to kill him.While in the cab, I lied that I wanted to ease myself and he stopped. When he did, I brought out a toy gun and wanted to hit him on the head, but a fight started and we as were struggling with each other, the police found out, and they arrested both of us.”

DSP Kenneth Nwosu,the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer,  confirmed the arrest, adding that the police had concluded investigations on the matter.“The two suspects have also been charged to court,” he added.They have been transferred to the state Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja.
