Following several complaints of attacks, the Lagos State Police Command boss, Mr Edgal Imohimi, directed a 24 hours surveillance around the banks and others along the expressway.
It was gathered that immediately a male customer who had gone to withdraw N350,000 stepped out of one of the banks at about 2pm , Friday, the suspects: Boniface Ewerem(46) and Joseph,(42) ordered him to bring the withdrawn amount, pointing a gun at him.
One of them according to eye witnesses fired a shot into the air as he snatched the money from the customer and zoomed off in their operational motorbike. Luck however, ran against them as policemen from Ilasamaja chased and caught up with them. Angry members of the community requested that the suspects be handed over to them with an apparent intent to carry out jungle justice on them.
The suspects during interrogation, revealed that they came from Iba area of the state to operate. One of them, Joseph, said they intended to use their loot to celebrate Christmas with their families.
He said: This is my first time. I wanted to use the money I would have collected, to celebrate Christmas. We never had any intention to kill our victims”
The suspects as gathered, were immediately transferred to the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, as crowd throng the station. One brownie pistol and two life ammunition as gathered, we’re recovered from them, including the stolen money which has been returned to the owner.

ReplyDeleteStealing to celebrate Jesus Christ does that even make sense... thieving idiots.
DeleteThank God they caught them, heartless people.
ReplyDeleteAnd another person would weep for Xmas. What if the 350k withdrawn is for the person's boss or it's meant for a job he is carrying out. That is how they will lock up the person during Xmas thinking he is lieing about the robbery attack.
