He was arrested and is currently under detention at Area H, Ogudu, Lagos over the incident. It was gathered that Egbegbe had gone to Gbagada with some of his friends under the guise that he wanted to change some dollars.

 

He lied that he was a medical doctor at Gbagada General Hospital, asking the BDC operator to come there for his money later. However, when he was unable to provide an identity card to support his claim, the operator was said to have raised an alarm, attracting others who had him beaten before handing him over to the police.

 

Egbegbe was last year beaten to a pulp and nearly lynched to death after he went to Computer Village in Ikeja and stole about 9 Iphones.

 

Here is the police statement below:
