Suspected Armed Robbers, L-R Promise
Abiwa, Agbojule Bright, Monday Omoboye,
and Monday Ikuesan
Bright Agbojule, one of the suspected armed
robbers that stormed Ikorodu to rob two banks
has stated that the group was not led by a
woman, this is contrary to reports in the media
and on social media that the armed robbers were
led by a woman in her 20s.
Agbojule is one one of the four persons accused of
being members of an 18-man bank robbery gang
that attacked banks in Ikorodu, Lekki and Ijede,
all in Lagos state
Agbojule was paraded along with Monday
Omoboye, 39, aka Alarm Blow; Monday Ikuesan,
37, and Promise Abiwa, 20, by Police
Commissioner (CP) Kayode Aderanti, on his last
day of duty in Lagos on Monday.
The 25-year old who said they were all boys in the
gang, told newsmen that they were led by two
men known Million and Kakado, both at large as
at the time of filing this report.
He claimed that he was only invited to join the
crew a week to the operation, noting that, he was
a timber worker at Ebute-Metta and only joined
because of poverty.
He added that the operation of the crew was
planned in Warri, Delta state and was executed in
Lagos. “There was no woman in the group. Our
leaders are Million and Kakado. We planned the
operation from Ishawo creeks. Million and his men
came to us and told us about the operation.
Million brought guys from Warri.
Agbojule Bright, Ikorodu bank robber
“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 N2million 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 N400,000 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.
Monady Omoboye, Ikorodu bank robber
“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
N400,000 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.
Monday Ikuesan, Ikorodu bank robber
“The owner was given N400,000 but he gave me
N180, 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.
