Lady drugs doctor she met on Badoo, flees with car, laptop

A 37-year-old lady identified as Mitchel Harrold was weekend arrested for allegedly drugging and robbing a friend she met on popular dating site, Badoo.

The Delta state indigene robbed her victim, a medical doctor in a hotel in the Ojodu area of Lagos, carting away his car, laptop and mobile phone during a short visit.
The unnamed doctor, according to the Punch, was said to have reported the matter at the Lagos State Police Command after the lady absconded and operatives reportedly traced the suspect to her base in Delta.

Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, traced her through a car dealer in Lagos, whom she had engaged to help perfect import papers for her victim’s stolen Volkswagen Passat Wagon, 2001 model.

The victim, in his statement to the police, narrated his ordeal, saying “I met the lady on Badoo and we agreed to meet so she travelled to Lagos from Delta.

“On January 19 at about 5:30 p.m. we checked into a popular hotel in the Ojodu Berger area of Lagos with the plan to spend the night.
I went in to take a bath and when I returned, she had gone to buy some drinks. I took the malt drink and yoghurt and I slept off. I slept off at 6:00 p.m. and woke up around 2:00 p.m.

“Behold, when I woke up, my personal effects such as phone and laptop had gone.

“Unfortunately for me, I do not know any of her relatives. We only met on a social media dating site, Badoo about a year ago.

“As I woke up, I rushed straight to meet with the receptionist and gateman to ask for her whereabouts, that was when I realized my car had been taken away too.
hey told me someone came to pick the car for her. And, she said she was going to get food. Immediately, I reported the incident at Omole Police Station.”

The victim said he was just aware of the lady’s real name as Mitchel Harrold after the arrest, because she gave him Aisha Ibrahim as name.

Speaking further, the doctor said, “I was getting to know her for real now.

“Since the incident, I had been trying to call her but to no avail. One of the numbers was switched off, she wasn’t picking the other.”

Confirming the incident, the state Police’ spokesperson, Dolapo Badmus, said Ms. Harrold had already informed her brother, one Mukoro Okpako, of her desire to sell the car urging him to assist her in perfecting custom papers for the Volkswagen Passat two days before she was arrested in Agbor, Delta State.“I don’t know she steals cars.”
