He assured that the suspects will soon be prosecuted according to the law.

This arrest followed the attack and destruction on an oil and gas station owned by the Iyase of Ewato, Chief Kenneth Ezojie.

Ezojie had on Tuesday raised the alarm over a violent attack on his station by as ‘Biggy’, who is reportedly a suspected cultist.

Trouble reportedly started when Biggy made sexual advances towards a female attendant at the station, identified as Angela.

He allegedly offered her N5,000 to spend the night with him but the attendant rejected the offer, saying that she was not a prostitute.

Angered by the rejection, Biggy assaulted Angela, inflicting injuries on her before returning to the station where he destroyed the fuel pump metres.

The suspect was eventually arrested by the community and was later handed over to the police where he was detained at the Ewohimi Police Station for further investigation and prosecution.

Ezojie, who spoke to newsmen, said he was called and informed that Biggy had attacked his filling station.

“Three months ago, hoodlums destroyed my station. Yesterday, around 8:30 pm, Biggy came and asked my salesgirl to sleep with him for N5,000. She refused,” he said.

“Because she rejected him, Biggy beat her up. This morning, my manager rushed to tell me Biggy returned and damaged the fuel meters,” he added.

He appealed to security agencies to protect his business and ensure the prosecution of the suspect.
