“I am a labourer, but due to keeping
bad friends, I have involved myself in
series of robbery for one year now.
Jasper, Wale (Timileyin) and I
conspired to rob the complainant. It
was Jasper, a domestic cleaner at a
building on the street, that invited us
for the robbery.“In three of our robbery
operations, my share was N38,000,
N28,000 and N57,000 respectively. We
sold the stolen items to one man at a
market on the Lagos Island. I don’t
know his name but I can identify him
in person. Whenever we go out for an
operation, my duty is to stand outside
and watch. It is true that a few months
ago Wale, Yusuf (Olalekan) and I went
to rob Etabuko on the Victoria Island,
but it was Yusuf who stabbed the
woman before we escaped.”In his
statement, 22-year-old Timileyin, an
indigene of Ogun State, said his wife
had warned him against robbery. He
said she relocated to Ibadan, Oyo
State, when he refused to listen to her.

“I’m a National Diploma student. My
first operation was that of Etabuko.
Only Yusuf (Olalekan) and I entered her
apartment, but it was Yusuf who
stabbed her.
