The Rapid Response Squad unit of the Lagos
Police Command has arrested 25-year-old
Chinonso Michael said to be an Afro hip-hop
singer and 22-year-old pianist, Chimelu
Victory for robbery.

The suspects who were arrested last week
Wednesday alongside 5 other suspects at their
residence at 4, Modupe Young Thomas Estate
in Ajah, said they were pushed into robbery
due to the Coronavirus pandemic and
hunger.

It was gathered that they had on April 10,
2020, ordered a pay on delivery iPhone 11 Pro
Max valued at N450,000 from an online
platform. After the delivery man identified
as Anifowoshe Itunu arrived at a service
apartment in Ajah, Chimelu who was the
buyer generated a fake alert to the rider first
and later, with the connivance of Chinonso
escaped from the apartment after they had
tied him down with a bottle of beer.

They sold the iPhone 11 Pro Max to a buyer in
Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, for the sum of N350,000
transferred into Chinoso’s bank account.

Upon sighting the police officers who were
trying to effect their arrest, the
suspects jumped off from the first floor of
their apartment naked. Chinonso fractured
his arm and bruised his chin immediately he
landed on the ground floor. He then instantly
took to the streets naked before he was
arrested and taken to the hospital.

The suspects who confessed to the
crime revealed that it was the third time they
sold iPhone 11 Pro Max during
the COVID-19 lockdown, adding that two of
the phones were carted online with stolen
credit cards.

They said they've been unable to make
income since the clubs they played regularly
at have been shut down due to the
Coronavirus pandemic. The suspects said;

“During the lock down there was
nothing going and we didn’t have
anything to eat for like two – weeks.

“We were already owing all the store
owners in the neighbourhood. Nobody
was ready to give us credit anymore.

We had to device a means to survive
the lock down."

Chinonso who just changed his stage name
from Authority to Happy-Boy, said he
joined Chimelu who was his music teacher in
Aba at his Ajah residence in March 2020.

Chimelu, popularly called Apostle Swag said
he recently resigned as a Lekki church
keyboardist to pursue a career in music. He
further disclosed that "the plan of a service
apartment was to create the impression that
they live there in the mind of the despatch
rider.”

One iPhone 11Pro Max, three laptops, two
flash drives, two WiFi connection modems,
two memory cards, four SIM cards, one
Samsung phone and one iPhone were
recovered from the suspects who admitted
that they engage in internet fraud apart from
their musical careers.

The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of
the Lagos state police have taken over the
case for further investigations and
prosecution.
