Robbery Gang Arrested  Sharing Loot

By SEUN JOSEPH

Three of the members of a dare-devil armed robbery gang who have been terrorising the residents of Lagos, especially Ikeja, Leventis, Maryland, Onipanu and painting the officers and men of the Nigerian Army black have finally been arrested inside the official quarters of a serving army officer in one of the army barracks in Lagos.
Though the army officer, simply identified as Chukwudi was neither a member of the gang nor does he has any premonition that the young boys were into the wrong side of the law but he was said to have provided accommodation to some of the young men whom he innocently believed are into genuine business. Moreover one of them uses his bike as one of their operational tools.
The three suspects who had since owned up to various crimes operations in different parts of Lagos gave their names, ages and state of origin as Samuel Adeboboye, 19 years old from Ondo State; John Solomon, 26 years old from Delta State and Ebere Adindu, while the other three members of the gang are still at large.
Samuel Adeboboye, in his confessional statement revealed that he works as a DJ during parties or any other occasion. He revealed that he started full robbery sometimes in 2007. According to him, “our DJ business was not booming so that prompted me to robbery, friend introduced me to crime”.
Oriyomi was the person who trained me on how to rob people” Samuel who was a direct opposite of the Biblical Prophet, confessioned that his lives with an unsuspecting soldier friend who did not know that his stock of trade was armed-robbery and not Okada riding as he was made to believe. “We rob people of their handsets, laptops, money and other things, we don't use gun but we use only “composer” a makeshift piece of wood wrapped with black cellotape”.
Speaking further, Samuel said that he used his soldier friend's Okada to move two of his gang members about while the other three also use another bike, they roam and rob in places like Leventis, Ikeja, along Ikorodu express road and other “juicy” locations. “I only ride bike, but not the one who attack people, I regret my evil ways, and am begging the police and people to forgive me, I want to go back to my DJ work” he pleaded.
