Some operatives of Rapid
Response Squad, RRS, of the
Lagos State Police Command
have arrested a lady in
Agbor, Delta State, for
drugging her friend, a
medical doctor, in a hotel in
Ojodu area of Lagos and
carting away his car, laptop
and mobile phone.
The lady, Mitchel Harrold, 37,
from Warri, Delta State was
on Tuesday arrested after the
operatives traced her through
a car dealer in Lagos, whom
she had engaged to help
perfect import papers for the
stolen Volkswagen Passat
Wagon, 2001 model.
In a statement on Sunday, the
police said the suspect and
the medical doctor had on
January 19 at about 5:30
p.m. checked into a popular
hotel in the Ojodu Berger
area of Lagos with the plan to
spend the night.
Ms. Harrold had, after
settling down, gone to get a
malt drink and yoghurt while
the boyfriend was taking his
bath.
According to the victim,
Daniel Biyi (not real name) “I
went in to take a bath and
when I returned, she had
gone to buy some drinks. I
took the malt drink and
yoghurt and I slept off. I slept
off at 6:00 p.m. and woke up
around 2:00 p.m.
“Behold, when I woke up, my
personal effects such as
phone and laptop had gone.
“Unfortunately for me, I do
not know any of her
relatives. We only met on a
social media dating site,
Badoo about a year ago.
“As I woke up, I rushed
straight to meet with the
receptionist and gateman to
ask for her whereabouts, that
was when I realised my car
had been taken away too.
“They told me someone came to pick the
car for her. And, she said she was going
to get food. Immediately, I reported the
incident at Omole Police Station.”
The victim said he was just aware of the
lady’s real name as Mitchel Harrold
after the arrest, because she gave him
Aisha Ibrahim as name.
“I was getting to know her for real now,”
he said.
“Since the incident, I had been trying to
call her but to no avail. One of the
numbers was switched off, she wasn’t
picking the other.”
Arrested alongside with her, was one
Gbenga Adesanya, a generator repairer,
whom she engaged to drive the stolen
vehicle.
According to Mr. Adesanya, “I was
surprised to see her opening the gate of
the hotel herself for me to drive out
instead of the gateman. That wasn’t the
first time I would be helping her take a
vehicle out of Lagos to Sapele.
“It was about the third time.
“First, it was a Toyota Camry ‘Big for
Nothing.’ I helped her moved it from
Ajah to Sapele, Delta State. The second
one was an ‘End of Discussion’ Honda
Accord and thirdly, Volkswagen Passat,
2001 model. I moved that too all night to
Sapele.”
Mr. Adesanya said he was introduced to
Ms. Harrold last year by her elder
brother, who worked as clearing and
forwarding agent.
“I was told she needed the assistance of
a good driver to take to Warri. I later
met her in Ajah where I helped take a
Toyota Camry to Sapele,” he said.
“About four months later, she summoned
me to GRA Ikeja. She gave me a Honda
Accord (End of Discussion) to help her
collect fuel from her brother at Wawa,
Ogun State. I took the fuel and returned
the car. She then told me that she has
gotten another driver to take her. She
gave me N5000 and I left.
“The last vehicle is the one that has
created crisis for me. Although, I have
been wondering where she has been
getting these cars but she told me that
she hired them from Delta whenever she
comes to Lagos, and that a driver
brought her to Lagos and returned to
Delta. I don’t know she steals cars.”
The police said Ms. Harrold had already
informed her brother, Mukoro Okpako,
of her desire to sell the car urging him to
assist her in perfecting custom papers
for the Volkswagen Passat two days
before she was arrested in Agbor, Delta
State.
The police added that the vehicle was
recovered in Warri. It was further
learnt that she had removed the number
plate and put it in a car mart for sale.
“She attempted concealing the stolen
phone when she was arrested,” the
police stated.
“As it were now, whereabouts of the
other stolen, Honda accord, End of
Discussion and Toyota Camry, Big for
Nothing remained unknown as she
refused to cooperate with the Police
during preliminary investigation.”
The Lagos State Police’ spokesperson,
Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the
arrest, noted that the case has been
transferred to State criminal
Investigation Department for further
investigation.
