The police in Lagos have arrested a 36-year-old applicant, Ifeanyi Ezennaya, for allegedly drugging and robbing six women of six iPhones valued at N4 million.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident happened on Tuesday at Falolu Street, Surulere, Lagos.

Mr Ezennaya, whose residential address is unknown, allegedly lured the young ladies (names withheld) to a hotel, laced their drinks with an unknown substance, and dispossessed them of their phones and other valuables.

One of the victims who spoke on behalf of others told NAN that they met the suspect few days ago while celebrating the birthday of one of them in a bar.

NAN gathered that Mr Ezennaya specialised in drugging and robbing women of their phones and other valuables.

Police officers at Surulere Division arrested the suspect on Thursday in a hotel in Allen Avenue, Ikeja, where he was about to rob another prospective victim.

When NAN contacted the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the division, Idowu Adedeji, for details, he refered our correspondent to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos State Command.

The PPRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the story said the suspect drugged and robbed the victims.

According to him, the phones are yet to be recovered
