A Nigerian man who has been identified as, Bolaniran Orimolade popularly known as Bola Bebo has been arrested for infecting his wife, stepdaughter, and twelve other women with HIV on purpose.
The news was confirmed by the Chief Operating Officer of Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Peoples Network, Ebenezer Omejalile, who revealed that the suspect claimed to be chairman of Iyana Iba motor part and had bragged that he was above the law.
Mr. Omejalile speaking noted that Bolaniran infected his victims without regrets and this will not be the first time he is being arrested. According to the COO, Bolanrian has been arrested on countless occasions but will one way or the other get himself freed and due to this, he has no respect for the law.
That notwithstanding, Mr. Omejalile revealed that Bolaniran’s wife, Mrs. Bolaniran also had two identical twins, both males, who were born with HIV as a result of their father’s HIV status.
More so, he disclosed that Bolaniran also raped his stepdaughter and infected her with the virus.
“He does it with so much impunity without any form of remorse. He was arrested several times but buys his way out and goes after his victims and makes life a living hell for them. His latest atrocity was on his wife Mrs. Bolaniran, who after infecting her with HIV, he domestically abused. He also sexually molested his stepdaughter who is now living with HIV.
“Efforts to get Bolaniran arrested by Igando Police Station proved abortive initially. It’s also on record that Mrs. Bolaniran had two identical twins, both males who were born with HIV courtesy of their father’s status. Mrs. Bolaniran couldn’t bear the trauma of humiliation her husband subjected her and her children to, so she moved out to seek refuge in a church.
“Ever since she moved out of the apartment, Bolaniran has been going to the church to cause trouble.”
Omejalile further speaking on the issue disclosed that their findings on Bolarinan showed that “he was once jailed for 10 years, which makes him an ex-convict”.
Meanwhile, the National Union of Road Transport Workers disassociated itself from Bolaniran after he claimed to be a member of the union.
Lagos State Secretary of the union, Oluwaseyi Bankole who debunked the claim said the suspect who reportedly operates at Iyana Iba Motor Park is not a member of the Union as the Lagos NURTW does not operate at the said park.
The Secretary of the Union, Bankole said: “The man is not a member of our union. As a matter of fact, our union does not operate at Iyana Iba Motor Park. The park in question is operated by another union. NURTW is made up of law-abiding citizens, hence our members will not engage in criminal activities.
“We have a database of our registered members, from units to state and the national headquarters of union, and these members are known to be above board in all their dealings”.
Well, according to the laws in Nigeria, for a crime like this, Bolaniran could be sentenced to 20 years or life imprisonment.
