A funny twist of event has Mr Collins Ugwu, a Deputy Superintendent of Prisons being arrested by the Enugu State Police command, over his alleged involvement in armed robbery.

The Deputy Superintendent of Prisons who works at the headquarters of the Nigeria Prisons Service, was arrested in Enugu on June 26 alongside suspected accomplices, Ifeanyi Ozor, a native of Enugu State who is also resident in Abuja; and Smart Osetu from Oguta in Imo State.

Parading the suspects, Enugu State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Danmallam, who spoke to newsmen disclosed that  Ugwu and his colleagues were apprehended after the police gathered intelligence information on their activities. According to him, the suspects were arrested on charges bordering on armed robbery, conspiracy, malicious damage, stealing and ‘obtaining by tricks.’

The Police Boss added that Senior Prison official from Ezza in Ebonyi State, who resides in Abuja stays around the premises of commercial banks to monitor prospective victims who had come to withdraw money, alongside members of his gang.

“The suspects (Ugwu, Ozor and Osetu) belong to a syndicate that specialises in monitoring anyone that has gone to bank to make withdrawals and trail them to a point where they can smartly force the door or the windscreen (of the victims’ car) open with their instrument and steal the said amount.

“They are also part of a syndicate that buys goods from traders and generate fake payment alert to the owner of the goods without him knowing.

“They were nabbed along Ogui Road, Enugu by the operatives of the Enugu State Police Command on June 26, 2018, following intelligence information gathered concerning their nefarious activities" Danmallam said.

A  Golf car with registration number Abuja RBC 220 KF, and a broken plug which they allegedly use in “scratching down” the window of the car to steal from their victims, was also recovered from the suspects.

Ugwu however refused to respond to questions from newsmen, as he bowed his head to prevent journalists from taking pictures of his face.

Greed..... A man with a federal job engaging in stealing.
BTW just hopes he's jailed in one of the prisons he' used to work in.

Uniform men are the people flaming even more atrocities on civilians. Everybody today wants to join a force to be legally free to do anything. So, unfortunate a deputy superintendent is an Ambassador to armed robbery.

Ok

see greediness. or better let me say, this is what too much connection can cause. may be d guy don't need the job, but he was forced to do it due to d slot they have. now see what happened.

shey dis one too na unemployment?
if you be thief, you be thief, no reason for it.
Robbery is even more difficult than some day to day job, if you think it's lack of job or good job, tell me why our politicians too dey steal upon all the allowee

You can meet your need but you can never meet your greed.

Yeah yeah

This wow...can't believe a well paid dude can be involved in such crimes

This is Nigeria where everybody is a _____

This is one major reason why sane Nigerians don't want to join the Nigeria Police Force anymore

A man chose to sacrifice his comfort and family to secure his citizens' lives and the best way of compensating him is by apprehension

Make dem lock am for the same prison together with the criminals wey him don torture

Spirit of rise and fall is real. Pastor olukoya has preached about it. The devil sets trap for you and triggers greed and inordinate desires at the peak of your career so that you will make a disgraceful fall.

When you are building up your career he will leave you alone. When you have finished building it and want to sit and relax, that's when he will strike. Hence,most of our enemies are usually within. If you are looking for n enemy or before you pray for an enemy to die look within whether you are not praying against yourself to die

It happened to biblical David where Satan aggravated the spirit of lust and greed that was cleverly concealed within him to sleep with his employees wife.just when he had it all as a king. Money, fame, power and access to any and every kind of women

He did it to the professor in Oau, stopping so low to break professional ethics and sexually manipulate a student to sleep with him when he has access to numerous girls at his neck and call.

Therefore like the hymn goes thou art in the midst of foes watch and pray.

Don't think it can't happen to you because you're too disciplined,too holy or too sanctimonious. David was clearly loved by God yet Satan wanted him to loose all and die a disgraceful death

He is still employing his craftiness via various means. It's only strategy that has changed

No biggie. The guy na part-time prisoner before.

He just upgrade to full-timer.

He collaborated with criminals in his prison

he has been learning from inmate the prison

Make he just resume 50yrs with hard labor

Many of the armed robbery incident you see or hear are carried out by those who have legitimate access to gun in this country. When you see the way our police and SARS behave in public you will understand.

Can u imagine.


All civil servant is prone to crime.
