Odutola said that following a call received from an unnamed informant, police officers led by the Isara Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Bankole Eluyeru, stormed the scene. The PPRO said that an attempt to arrest the suspect was allegedly fiercely resisted as he used “the machete on the Divisional Police Officer and his men.” The police spokesman said that the team succeeded in neutralising the suspect. Odutola said from the intelligence gathered by the police, there was no report of the suspect being mentally challenged. In other news, a 22-year-old woman named Mika Shabasova died during a buttocks enlargement surgery done by her friend, an unqualified beautician. The surgery took place at the cosmetologist’s home, and Mika passed away just ten minutes after receiving a local anaesthetic. The cosmetologist, identified as Uma M, was placed under house arrest as authorities look into the incident. Uma M, who only completed a two-week course, offered the procedure for £154 even though she had no license for cosmetic surgery. She had previously done lip, cheek, and buttock enlargements without proper qualifications. According to state investigators in Makhachkala, Uma M repeatedly used lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, on Mika’s skin. Mika was asked about allergies, but unfortunately, the procedure led to her death. The Russian Investigative Committee is currently examining all the details surrounding the incident. Mika’s friend advised her not to undergo the buttock procedure, which Uma M had promoted. Uma M had recently received a certificate after working as a waitress and lash extension technician.
