Two robbery suspects were
arrested by operatives of the Lagos
State Police Command on Monday. They are Abdullahi Isiaka and
another identified as Abel. The duo, it was learnt used to be
members of a four-man gang
including Governor and Brigadier,
who have since been arrested. They were nabbed around Ijora-
Badia on Monday morning, while
they were going for an operation on
their motorcycle. Unfortunately for them, policemen
were raiding motorcycles flouting
traffic laws in that axis, leading to
their arrest and the recovery of a
gun. According to the police, Isiaka
usually pleasured himself by
handling the breasts of his female
victims before dispossessing them
of their valuables. He was said to have confessed that
caressing the breasts of his female
victims before robbing them made
him very happy. The suspects, it was gathered, are
currently in the custody of
operatives of the Federal Anti-
Robbery Sqaud ( FSARS), where
they disclosed their mode of
operation. It was learnt that they usually slept
near the railway and during work
rush hours, waylay their victims,
mostly lone walkers, who they trap
in their midst. He said: “They target lone figures,
put the person in their middle and
rob the person. Once they get a
victim, Brigadier would bring out
gun and order the victim to
cooperate with them. “Isiaka targets women. Once they
catch a female victim, Isiaka would
start caressing her breasts. He said
that caressing breasts before
robbing the person used to make
him feel happy.” According to the source, Isiaka
confessed that the gang once
robbed a victim who had dollars,
adding that he used his share of the
loot to buy a motorcycle, which they
used for easy escape. “He said he used his share of the
money to buy motorcycle and after
that, he started his own operation
with Abel. He said they usually robbed at
Ebute-Metta, Apapa, Wharf and
Ikeja and that he handles the gun,”
said the police source. A
