The gang of armed robbers that attacked two
banks in Ikorodu two weeks ago have revealed
that there was no woman in their group.
This is contrary to reports which had earlier
stated that the robbery incident was led by a
lady with a tortoise on the neck and a big snake
around her waist.

The robbers, who were paraded at the Lagos
state police command, Ikeja, Monday afternoon,
told journalists, including Naij.com
correspondent, that they had been contacted by
a certain Warri-based kingpin popularly
addressed ‘million’ for the operation.
While narrating the incident, Agbojule Bright, 25,
disclosed that ‘million’ called him for the
operation and his role in the operation was to
stand on the road and prevent policemen from
disrupting their activities.
The graduate of English studies and CRS from
the College of Education, Benin said: “I was
caught after My friend, Akpan (also a member of
the syndicate) called me and led me to the
policemen.

“We used dynamite to open the vaults and all the
guns we used for the operation were supplied by
million. I could not get a job after leaving school
so, I resorted to felling of trees in Ebute Metta
area of Lagos state before I was being invited
for the operation.

He also confessed to have bought a jeep with
the N2million that was his share from the
robbery.
Speaking also to journalists was Monday
Ikuesan, 37, who confessed to be a fisherman
involved in bunkering within the area.
Ikuesan, a father of two, also stated that he got
N180, 000 for his efforts in the robbery and has
since ‘invested’ the money in getting kegs which
he used for oil theft.
“I was accosted by some people and was
forcefully asked to take them over the water or
release my speedboat that was how I got
involved.

“I am not a member of the gang. I was only
involved in the Lekki robbery prior to the Ikorodu
incident,” he explained soberly.
Another member of the gang, Monday Omoboye,
while explaining his role in the robbery noted
that Kakadu, another member of the gang, now
at large, asked him to drive them out of the
robbery scene, and that is what he always does
for them.
He confessed further, saying: “Immediately after
this last operation, I drove them into their creek
in Ajegunle area of Ikorodu and was given about
N2million as my share of the loot.

“There were about 18 of us in the operation and
there was no woman among us. Right now, I feel
very sad about this incident, but there is nothing
I can do.”
Outgoing Commissioner of Police (CP) Kayode
Aderanti, while presenting the criminals to the
public, commended officers of the state police
command and assured everybody in the state of
the police’s continued efforts in ensuring the
safety of their lives and properties.
“The vehicles which they bought with their loots
are also here for your accessibility as we are
assuring you that this command will always
ensure the security of lives and properties.
“It is very important that I place my appreciation
on marble to the leadership of the Nigeria Police
Force for the opportunity to serve in this
capacity.
“I also want to use this opportunity to thank my
officers and men for their support and dedication
to duty all this period,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Lagos state government has
stated that the robbers succeeded in their
operations because of the transition to the new
government. www.naij.com/480499-ikorodu-banks-robbers-make-damning-confessions-photo.html
