Widow, 3 others who rob motorist along Mile2/Badagry Rd arrested

The Nation reports that while confessing to the
crimes, the widow Sera Emmanuel, said she
was the one responsible for supplying guns to

the gang.
“I was born in 1983 and I am from
Abeokuta. I buy guns for the gang and it
was Ismaila that gave me money to buy
guns for the gang. I went to Idiroko and
bought two guns at N15, 000 each for the
gang. They gave me only N25, 000 and
N6, 000 for transport. I will not buy for
them again’. she said One of the gang
members, Morufu while confessing said:
“I was arrested at Iyana Iyesi for
snatching a handset at Mile 2, Lagos. It
was Muri that led police to my house to
arrest me". She said
Abdulliah, another gang members, who claims
to be a panel beater said:
“I participated in the Oyingbo Ebute Meta
robbery operation. We collected phones,
money from victims at go-slow. This is my
15th armed robbery operation. I used to
get between N25,000 and N30,000 in each
operation but prostitutes, smoking and
drinking made it impossible for me to
save”.
Akinyemi, an okada rider who was also
arrested claimed that he was forced to become
a member by one Apo he met in Mushin,
where he had gone to eat
“I have operated five times but it was
only once they gave me N30,000. They
have been cheating me. I went to
Cotonou with N300, 000 to buy Mazda but
it had accident. It was because I needed
to get money for the repair of my car that
I followed them for the operation. I got
N150,000. I have built house from armed
robbery. It was Muri that brought police
to arrest me” he said.
The Lagos state Deputy Police Public Relations
Officer, Lelma Kolle confirmed the arrest of the
gang members.
