Physinews Reports:; The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad
(RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command have
arrested a two man robbery
gang specializing in defrauding unsuspecting
members of public around Cele Bus-stop, along
Oshodi-Apapa Expressway of Lagos Nigeria.
The suspects, Emmanuel Anyanwu, 39, an ex-
convict and Kennedy Ujagbor, 42, a drug
addict, were jointly arrested by the RRS officers
at Cele Bus-stop, when a victim from whom
they had snatched his bag from the previous
day when he failed to fall into their trap,
identified them at a drinking joint.
Their victim, Sammy Bolaji, was on his way to
Ogun State when he was stopped by the duo of
Anyanwu and Ujagbor for his assistance. “They
asked me if I knew a particular address and I
told them that I was a stranger in that area….
As I made to leave them, one of them grabbed
my bag from behind and took to his heels. The
second one followed suit. I ran after them but I
guess they knew the route more than I do, so
they escaped before people around could even
come to term with what was going on…. Sadly
for me, in that bag were a sum of N7,500:00,
two mobile phones, cloths and other personal
effects. I had to discontinue the journey
because all I had on me were gone.
“The following day, my mum chose to drive
me through this same spot where my bag was
snatched. Luckily for me, I saw these same
guys sipping alcohol early in the morning very
close to the spot. I alighted not telling my mom
what I had seen, at least to confirm first…. As
things would work my way, I saw RRS’s patrol
vehicle passing by and I waved them down,
narrated all that happened yesterday and they
followed me to where these guy were sitting.
“They were shocked to see me with the police.
They interrogated them and arrested them after
confirming the incident…. They promised the
officers that they would retrieve my bag for me
in Ketu, where they sold it to,” he stated.
Emmanuel Anyanwu, in his confession said,
“We are swindlers. We are always on the street
looking for people to defraud…. Yesterday, we
met this guy. Our plan was to play him and it
didn’t seem to work out, so we snatched his
bag and ran away. His bag is in Ketu.”
The suspect revealed their Modus Operandi,
“Normally, what we do is tell our victim that we
are foreigners with a huge consignment of
mobile phones and stationery…. We would now
pretend that we were in search of marketers
with enough money to buy the goods…. In the
process, we persuade our victims to show
interest in buying the goods by dangling before
them an irresistible offer. If they show interest,
we tell them to demonstrate their seriousness
with a commitment by depositing their phones,
money or jewelry. That is how we con them.”
Confirming the development, the Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of
Police, SP Dolapo Badmus stated that the
police would leave no stone unturned towards
reducing crime in the state. The suspects have
been transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department (SCID) for further
investigation.
