A 200 level Computer Science student of Caleb University and another suspected member of his gang were busted after their botched attempt to snatch a car from an Uber driver in Ikorodu area of Lagos .

One of the suspects was discovered to be son of a serving Local Government Chairman in Lagos .

The suspects: Gideon Bamidele (19) and Hafeez Anifowose, (20) as gathered, boarded the Uber cab, a Toyota Corolla car with plate number KJA 911 EG, at the early hours of Monday , in Surulere, heading towards Agric, Ikorodu.

However, on reaching Itowolo bridge , one of the suspects according to the UBER driver, Mr Otun Olugbenga, “

grabbed me by the neck pointing a gun at me. He ordered me to leave the steering. When I refused, they started struggling the steering with me . I started shouting for help, on sighting a police vehicle stationed afar , on the other side of the road. In the process, the vehicle skidded off the road and somersaulted severally before it stopped .At that point, I lost consciously briefly.”

Meanwhile, policemen at the nearby pin-down-point who raced to the scene with the intention to rescue occupants of the vehicle, became curious after Bamidele and Anifowose who crawled out of the vehicle were spotted with a gun. They ( suspects ) reportedly took to their heels on sighting the policemen approaching. While some of the policemen gave the fleeing suspects a hot pursuit, the rest rescued the driver.

Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Imohimi Edgal who confirmed the arrest, disclosed that when the suspects were caught, they were discovered to be with a toy gun.

Speaking to reporters,Bamidele blamed his indulgence on what he described as his parents uncaring attitude. He said :

“ I blame my father for this. He abandoned me and refused to pay my school fees, not because he didn’t have the money but because he said I was wayward. Immediately my mum traveled to the UK, my dad said he was no longer interested in my schooling, just because he caught me smoking one day and concluded that he would no longer waste his money on me anymore. He is the Chairman of a local government and can not deny he does not have money . Our aim was to snatch the vehicle and sell it. I intended to use my share of the loot to settle my school fees. Take my father’s telephone number , call him to come and see me in the situation he has put me”, he said in tears.

The suspects according to Edgal would be charged to court, even as he explained that being caught with a toy gun would not douse the charges , saying they would be charged same way an armed robbery suspect with a real gun would.

I guess his dad made him smoke and join bad gang as well.
He even tried, he was supposed to blame the devil.

Dude is looking for a way out by implicating his father. Terrible son, he made his choice already.

They always have someone to blame for their actions...flog him well jare!!!

Like how Buhari blames GEJ

Your father is a Thief and you too an Arm robber

What an heritance.

Is Buhari.
I blame buhari

A thief will always have someone to blame. Thank God he didn't blame the devil this time.

Your father didn't train you well abi? Afonja

I wish it were my former roommate they caught like this

That father is worthy of emulation....
Was he now wrong?

Your father sent you to go and rob?

I don't get it

Father dey steal, son dey rob, probably mother dey do Runz.

34webers:
You are not the first to blame anyone for ur crime, the idiotic pigs of biamumus have also been blaming buhari for being criminals when they are apprehended in Asia for selling coke. They also blame buhari for being cursed prostitutes, armed robbers, selling their parents to play betnaija. Some of them are still blaming buhari for their oblong shaped head.

Can't you comment without tribal sentiment

Omo ale jati jati.

He's just trying to involve his dad. Who taught him smoking at age 18+? And was hevthe one that gave you the toy gun?The excuse of school fee is a lieThe man even tried to put you in private school because he knew you can't graduate in a government school, he saved you from shame until you decided to put yourself out for shame. You will rot alone in kirikiri and nobody will follow you. It's a lesson for every young lad. Any crime you committed alone, you will suffer the punishment alone.
