Robbery suspect who raids LAUTHEC students confesses

The nightmare experienced by some students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in Ogbomosho, may have come to an end with the eventual arrest a suspected armed robber.
Saturday Newswatch gathered that Farayola Oladimeji, has unleashed reign of terror on the harmless students on different occasions, escaping with their valuables such as money, mobile phone and other items.
However, his reign of terror was recently  cut short when a tip off gave him out and eventually landed him in police custody to account for his escapades.
Justifying his life in the crime world, Oladimeji said his encounter with an armed robber who snatched his new motorcycle was the catalyst turning him also to a man of the underworld.
“What I do is to pose as a passenger and snatch the okada from the operator when he takes me to an isolated place. I use a small gun to threaten the operator. I don’t go out with any other person. I sold parts of the two motorcycles for N30,000,” he said.
Oladimeji added that he used the gun to rob students of Ladoke Akintola Univeristy of Technology of their mobile phones.
“I have so far snatched four motorcycles before I was arrested.”
Police Public Relations Officer of Oyo State Command, Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, described the suspect as an incurable criminal. She said he had always been on the list of the command’s wanted criminal.
“We have paraded him after our Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Ogbomosho had arrested him. We are going to do our job as usual and getting to the root of the matter after which we would charge him to court,” the PPRO said.
