A 24-year old armed robbery suspect,
Mr. Tajudeen Onifara has revealed the
secret behind his success in the
underworld for nine years during
which he robbed many people of their
money and other possessions.
He confessed to the police that he
was dutifully paying his tithe to his
church, Christ Living Ministry, Lagos
Island, as commanded in the Bible
after every successful robbery
operation in Lagos, western Nigeria.
Onifara was arrested in a hotel with
his girlfriend by men of the anti-
robbery squad of the state police
command after nine years of robbing
people.
The father of two said he paid his
tithe regularly because he believed
that as a Christian God always bless
a faithful tither.
He disclosed that after every
successful operation, he would
remove 10 percent of the money he
stole from people and pay as tithe to
church.
Onifara attributed his success in
crime for nine years to the fact that he
paid his tithe regularly as
commanded by God in Malachi
chapter 3 verse 10 and 11. The
verses, he said, mandated Christians
to give 10 percent of their earnings as
tithe to the church.
He said he started stealing at the age
of 15 and specialised in robbing
customers of banks with locally made
cut-to-size pistol before he graduated
to a big time armed robber.
He said his major breakthrough in the
underworld occurred when he robbed
a woman who withdrew N2m from a
bank in Lagos.
He said she was about entering her
car when he accosted her and pointed
a toy gun at her. The woman quickly
surrendered the money to him.
“I pretended as if I wanted to assist
her. She did not know that I was an
armed robber and when we got to
where she parked her car, I pointed a
gun at her and she quietly handed the
money to me. After snatching the
money I escaped on a bike with my
friend,” he stated.
He disclosed that he used part of the
money to buy a sophisticated
weapon after removing his tithe.
On what he did with all the money he
stole over the years, he explained that
he used the money to enrol his
children in one of the best schools in
Lagos and opened a supermarket at
Idumagbo on Lagos Island.
He added that he used a substantial
part of the money to take care of
himself and his girlfriends.
On how he was arrested, he said he
was having fun with his girlfriend in
Ibadan at a popular hotel when SARS
men arrested him.
When asked how he felt now that he
was arrested, he replied: “I know that
robbery is a serious and risky
‘business’ that can cut short one’s
life. If I am given another chance, I
will abandon it and engage in a
legitimate business.”
Police sources said Onifara who is
now in custody at SARS will soon be
charged to court.
