Headlines Saturday, September 25th, 2021The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a creditor, identified as Oluchi Okoye, for tying up his debtor, Reuben Alozie, to a stake over an unpaid N4.6million debt.
The suspect tied the victim to a stick with ropes at 29, Abeokuta Street, Ebute Metta, Lagos from Tuesday to Wednesday before his eventual release by the police.
