A
55 year old man named Chief Jude Dike (pictured above) who police say
is the sponsor and leader of a 7-man gang was today September 23rd
paraded alongside six other members of his gang at the Lagos state
police headquarters in Ikeja.
The others paraded were; Joel Eghon, 38, Solomon Igwe, 32, Ifeanyi
Onwuegbuchi, 34, Emmanuel Ifeanyi, 34, Ejike Emegwo, 31, and Leonard
Afoaku, 39.
According to PM news, Chief Dike, a resident of Ajegunle, confessed
to being the sponsor of the robbers by providing them with weapons for
their operation and facilitating the sales of whatever they steal from
any of their operations.
Speaking on how they were arrested, the State Commissioner of Police,
Cornelius Aderanti said on September 20th, information got to him that
some armed robbers who had earlier snatched a Toyota Hiace bus around
Ebute Metta were planning another operation. He immediately instructed
men of the State Anti Robbery Squad, SARS, to chase after the robbers.
They were arrested and the stolen Toyota car recovered.
Also a Barretta pistol with serial number P17531 and ammunition were
recovered from them. When interrogated, 55 year old Dike confessed to
the crime saying he got into the business by accident and continued
because it was very lucrative. The suspects will soon be charged to
court, according to the police….
