His arrest came after years of manhunt by the
police. It also constituted a piece of surprise for
many because of the myth that surrounded his
name. Obinna Okorie Emeka, an alleged sponsor
of robbery gangs declared by the police as most
wanted, was said to have the mastermind of
numerous trucks and containers hijacked by dare
devil bandits in different parts of the country.
Many members of the gangs he allegedly
sponsored were said to have been killed or
arrested by law enforcement agents while others
had been tried and jailed, but Obinna remained
elusive until he was recently arrested by
operatives of the Special Anti-robbery Squad
(SARS) of the Lagos State Police Command.
Even the men that worked for him were said to
have believed that he was too smart to be
arrested by the police, particularly because he
had the power to appear and disappear at will.
Many police stations and commands, especially
Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FedSARS)
who had some years back arrested container and
truck hijackers who claimed that Obinna was
their chairman, were said to have tried in vain to
track him down. Hence his designation as the
most wanted sponsor of armed robberies. He was
also regarded by the police as the biggest
receiver of stolen goods in Nigeria.
Asked how Obinna appeared on the wanted list
of SARS, a police source said that SARS
operatives had arrested and investigated more
than eight armed robbery cases in which the
suspects confessed that Obinna was their
chairman and sponsors, and that he was the
receiver of all the containers and trucks they had
hijacked or diverted.
The matter got to the knowledge of the Lagos
State Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko, who
immediately directed the officer in charge of
SARS, Abba Kyari, a Superintendent of Police, to
launch a manhunt for Obinna. Kyari swooped
into action with his men and got Obinna
arrested after he had given them some tough
time.
Upon Obinna’s arrest, it was discovered that his
full name is Obinna Okorie Emeka, a 33-year-old
indigene of Omo village in Olumba Local
Government Area, Anambra State. But he was
said to be resident at Ngozika Estate in Awka,
Anambra State capital, where he was dealing in
fairly used clothes. He was said to have been
travelling to Cameroon to import the clothes
before he ventured into crime.
During his days as a pupil, he was said to have
been very brilliant as he always came second or
third in a class of 60 pupils. He, however, could
not proceed to secondary because of his father’s
early death and the poverty that ravaged his
family. He was said to have avoided marriage for
fear that policemen might storm the wedding
venue to arrest him or use his wife to track him
down. He did not have a girlfriend either for the
same reasons.
