THE police in Lagos State have arrested a 23-year–old armed robbery suspect, who, along with two other members of his gang, allegedly burgled a mobile phone shop and made away with 35 mobile phones of different brands.



The suspect, Kenechukwu Anierobi, was arrested by a team of policemen who were on patrol along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway during a stop and search execise.



The arrested suspect and two other members of his gang, who are now at large, were walking along the expressway with a bag when the policemen stopped them.

Two of the suspected armed robbers escaped but the police succeeded in arresting Anierobi and found the 35 mobile phones of different brands in the bag.



A police source said that “Anierobi was the first to be arrested on May 18, 2015, around 1:00 a.m. in Mushin. He and his friends had just finished carrying out an operation.”



The police source added that “The policemen noticed Anierobi because he was walking suspiciously. When he was stopped to be searched, a black nylon bag containing 35 cellphones was found on him.

“The gang specialised in stealing phones, clothes and shoes after breaking into phone and boutique shops. They operate with iron cutters."



Speaking on the issue, Anierobi said: “I used to work as a truck pusher Alaba market. I used to get N1,000 for every load I carried. Some days, I could make up to N7,000. But I needed more money because I wanted to look good and dress well like my friends.

“I decided to follow my friend, Obi, to rob. I was arrested after our last operation. In that operation, I broke into a phone shop at Mushin and stole about 35 cellphones. We were almost at Toyota Bus Stop when the police patrol team arrested me. My colleagues saw what was happening from a distance and took to their heels."

The image maker in charge of the state police command, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the arrest of the suspect, adding that another member of the gang, Ugo, had been arrested.
