“It was from the creeks that we planned the
whole thing and this is my first operation with
them . I was among those who kept watch
along the road. I was given a Pump Action gun.
We had eight guns and two Pump Action rifles .
“I am a student of College of Education,
Ekiadolor . I did not follow them to Lekki or any
other robbery but I know it was the gang that
attacked those banks . We left very early for
the Ikorodu operation and it was some of
Million’ s boys who went into the police station ;
I did not go with them .
“Million and Kakado brought the dynamite used
to open the bank doors and the guns . They
were the ones who also taught us how to use
the guns.
“I do not know how much was gotten because
it was the leaders who counted and shared the
money. My share was N 2million from where I
bought a Lexus jeep for N1. 5million ; I bought
jerry can for my brother to start oil bunkering ;
gave my wife N30, 000 for her JAMB exam and
also gave my friends money .
“I was arrested in Ikorodu , where I live . My
friend Akpan called me and I didn ’t know that
it was because the police were looking for me . ”
Omoboye, a boat operator, said he usually
ferried the gang for their operations . He
confessed that he had participated in all the
robberies , adding that he received N 400, 000 for
the Lekki robbery, N400 , 000 for Ijede and
N2million for the Ogolonto attack, totalling
N2. 8m.
He said the group usually lodged close to their
targets , noting that for the Lekki attack, they
camped in Epe.

“We went to Epe area and lodged there . I was
the boat operator and I drove them in all the
operations. I don’ t usually leave the boat and
one or two men are left to stay with me
because the gang will contact them and they
will alert me when it ’s time to move.
“I was contacted about one month after the
Lekki operation and informed of the Ijede
attack, I got N 400, 000 each from Lekki and
Ijede . But for the Ebute business , I was given
N2million.
“I was not the one they called on the
telephone. It was one of their men before we
rode to the jetty side to carry them . My boat is
a fibre boat. I usually take them to the creeks
in Ishawo but they don ’t allow us close to
where they share money.
“Our business in the Creek is illegal bunkering ,
pipeline vandalism and armed robbery. I took
part in all the robberies because I was their
boat operator.
“Yes I am married with five children but my
wife does not know what I do ,” he said .
Ikuesan , another boat operator, said his only
role was ferrying the hoodlums after their boat
broke down when they robbed the banks in
Lekki .
He claimed that he operated a gun boat, whose
owner contacted him to carry the armed
robbers when their boat broke down in
February.
“I am not a member of the group but I know I
have carried them once . I was contacted by
the owner of the gun boat to carry them
because their boat broke down in the water .

me N 180, 000 and Baba Ibeji added N10 ,000 ,
making N190 , 000. I have never followed them
for any operation . ”
Briefing reporters, Aderanti said : “So , on June
26, one of the armed robbers, Promise Abiwa,
was traced to Igbokoda in Ondo State where
he was arrested.
“On June 28, one of the key members of the
gang Monday Omoboye (aka Alarm Blow) was
arrested in his hideout in Ikorodu.
“Monday is the boat operator who drove their
speedboats in both the Lekki on June 1 and the
robberies on June 24.
“On June 29, at about 4: 00 pm , one Agbojule
Bright was traced to another hideout and was
arrested with a Lexus Jeep , which he bought
from his own share of the loot .
“These armed robbers have confessed to
various armed robbery attacks both on water
and highways across the country. Further
investigations geared towards arresting the
remnants of the gang is in progress , ” Aderanti
said .
Additional report from The Nation

Countless witnesses said they saw a woman with a snake round her waist. These guys says there was no woman?so i am assuming the armed robbers are the ones telling the truth.

If i was inside the bank, and bullets kept flying above my head, i might mistake a man for a woman, and their guns for a snake too.
