The Nation reports that while confessing to the crimes, the widow Sera Emmanuel, said she was the one responsible for supplying guns to the gang.
“I was born in 1983 and I am from Abeokuta. I buy guns for the gang and it was Ismaila that gave me money to buy guns for the gang. I went to Idiroko and bought two guns at N15, 000 each for the gang. They gave me only N25, 000 and N6, 000 for transport. I will not buy for them again’. she said One of the gang members, Morufu while confessing said: “I was arrested at Iyana Iyesi for snatching a handset at Mile 2, Lagos. It was Muri that led police to my house to arrest me". She saidAbdulliah, another gang members, who claims to be a panel beater said:
“I participated in the Oyingbo Ebute Meta robbery operation. We collected phones, money from victims at go-slow. This is my 15th armed robbery operation. I used to get between N25,000 and N30,000 in each operation but prostitutes, smoking and drinking made it impossible for me to save”.Akinyemi, an okada rider who was also arrested claimed that he was forced to become a member by one Apo he met in Mushin, where he had gone to eat
“I have operated five times but it was only once they gave me N30,000. They have been cheating me. I went to Cotonou with N300, 000 to buy Mazda but it had accident. It was because I needed to get money for the repair of my car that I followed them for the operation. I got N150,000. I have built house from armed robbery. It was Muri that brought police to arrest me” he said.The Lagos state Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Lelma Kolle confirmed the arrest of the gang members.
widow?! man she is brave too bad her kids will be without a ma for a while.
ReplyDeleteI just hope it's this same squad that have been terrorising the entire amuwo odofin, mile 2 and festac areas? Those guys have ruined people's lives...collected people's phones,laptops, documents, money, cameras, stabbed people with daggers, broke people's car windscreens, just to mention a few...you can't drive along mile 2 festac side with rest of mind and without fear of being waylaid not to mention walking alone at night or very early in the morning...I'm just shocked these criminals do this on a daily bases in the presence of police officers around.
DeleteWell, as it is, they should be fucked up without remorse!!!!
LoGic
One by one, they all will b caught buh how much longer before they are released from jail. God save us dis 'ember period

That woman wey resemble 80yr old say na 1983 dem born am? Akuko
ReplyDeleteI still wonder how they get these thieves to fess up. They must have gone through some terrible beating.
ReplyDeleteAnd yea, that Mile 2 area is really dangerous at night. The place reminds me of Onitcha at night. You could get gunned down if you struggle with the robbers.
Even Anthony can be very dangerous too. There was one Sunday i was taking my sister and her kids out, and these bunch of dudes, in broad daylight started going from car to car, extorting cash and phones. Thank God the I was driving an old Benz 200. But it wasn't funny o! They approached this young flashy looking girl in her Toyota Corolla in front of me, and the girl had a lot of nerve, as she kept swerving, till she was able to escape them. Good thing they weren't the types with guns.
Are You A One Minute Man?
Same old story : get the street peddlers and let off the barons! If the police want to be taken seriously for once let them get the Idiroko connection, chikinaaa!

ReplyDeletePOVERTY SHOULD'T PUSH SOMEONE TO TAKE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T BELONGS TO HIM OR HER. IT IS IN THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD THOU SHALL NOT STEAL. BY dobis112@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThey deserve no mercy and must be punished. They steal from people who worked hard to earn a living.
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy.
ReplyDeleteToo bad.I pity the kids of the widow.
