The police in Lagos have
arrested four members of a
10-man robbery gang, which
specialised in burgling and
looting shop within Alaba
International Market and its
environ. The suspects
identified as Azuka, aged 27;
Onyenge e, 35; Arinze, 22;
and Afolabi, 21 were arrested
while the leader one Friday
and five others are currently
at large.

It was learned that two
members of the gang, Arinze
and Afolabi were
apprehended at the scene of
the operation on November,
20, at Alaba International
Market, Ojo in Lagos, while
two others were arrested
during the course of
investigation.

Vanguard gathered that but
for the timely intervention of
operatives of Special Anti
Robbery Squad, SARS, at the
scene, the 10-man robbery
gang led by one Friday, would
have unleashed terror on the
traders. The fleeing members
of the gang were said to have
made away with about 70
smart phones and ipads
worth N1.5 million using
locally made pistols.
Vanguard gathered that
investigation is on-going to
apprehend the other
members of the gang as well
as their receivers

Suspects account

Confessing to burgling and
looting shops, the four
suspects however denied
using weapons during the
operations.

Azuka said “We were 10 that
went to Alaba International
market to see the Chairman
of Alaba international Market
in Ojo (names withheld). We
heard he was coming to the
market, so we decided to pay
his a courtesy visit because
each time he comes around;
he gives us money which we
share among ourselves. After
waiting several hours and the
chairman didn’t show up,
Friday, our leader decided
that we burgle shops and loot
their wares. All we did was to
threaten the traders to enable
us loot their shops, we
weren’t armed.

“Everything was the idea of
our leader, Friday. He is a
very popular person in the
area. When we got there, we
broke the show-glass used to
display phones in one of the
shops while the operation
was still on, two of our
members were caught.

“I don’t have a job. What I do
to earn a living is to direct
prospective customers to
traders shop; after buying,
the traders pay me stipends
as commission.”

The second suspect, who
identified himself as Onyenge,
said “I am a footballer in
Okoko. I was arrested
because I was among the
guys that looted a phone
dealer’s shop in Alaba
International Market.

”Usually we go to such phone
dealers who specialise in
selling stolen phones to settle
us. We attacked the phone
dealers when they refused to
settle us. But we only took 10
phones, while we were still
carrying out the operations,
we saw operatives Special
Anti Robbery Squad, so I
escaped with the seven
others while they succeeded
in apprehending two. I was
traced and arrested through
the first two guys that were
nabbed.”.

I am always of the opinion that if you wanna commit a crime, make sure its worth it.
Make sure that the money made through the crime is more than enough to bail you out.
If not, please dont bother committing the crime.
