Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State
recently rescued a 22-year old vulcanizer, Akin
Abayomi, who was found stark naked at Tafawa
Balewa Square, TBS, Marina, Lagos, southwest
Nigeria, around 12 midnight.
Akin Abayomi
Abayomi was found naked in the middle of the road
when the governor was driving by with his convoy and
thinking he was a mad man, Fashola ordered his
security aides to pick him up for rehabilitation.
The man was taken to the State House, Marina where
he was housed for the night before the governor sent
for the Special Adviser on Youth and Social
Development, Dr. Dolapo Badru to rehabilitate him.
Abayomi confessed that he was not a mad man, but
that he stripped himself in the middle of the night on
the road because he wanted to curse the person who
stole his cell phone and his money.
He said he visited a herbalist in his quest for revenge
against the person who stole his cell phone and
money and was instructed to carry out the act in order
to curse his enemy, which was why he was naked in
the middle of the night.
According to Badru, the man said he was never mad
and that he was an apprentice and that his phone and
money were stolen by somebody.
"After I picked him up from the State House, he said
he was not a mad man, but says he drinks and
smokes marijuana and that he is an apprentice in a
vulcanizing workshop.
He said he bought a phone and that somebody stole
the phone.
After we investigated for two weeks to know his
family, we realised that the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul, an arm of the Holy Cross Cathedral, is also
interested in rehabilitating him," he explained.
Badru disclosed that the governor released N100,000
to Abayomi to start up his own vulcanizing business
as well as bought him a phone and asked the church
to monitor his progress.
He said the governor has really changed his life,
saying that if Fashola had not picked him up, he
would not have completed his apprenticeship training
to become a successful vulcaniser.
