Fresh facts
have emerged about the gang of robbers, who a few weeks ago, brazenly rocked
the foundation of Lagos State security, driving through the streets of Lagos
State and shooting recklessly like they were in a Wild West American movie.
They killed
three policemen and injured several civilians. Among those they injured was a
child.
The latest
information says that the two police corporals assisted the robbers to escape
being caught.
Just as
police in Lagos State have arrested two men suspected to be part of the gang,
the men had also denied being members of the gang.
The suspects
were identified as Rasheed Suleimon and Kazeem Enifolabi. But Suleimon had
quickly denied being a member of the gang.
He said he
knows the leaders, but had never partaken in any robbery with them. He insisted
that he was just a ‘a handset snatcher.”
Just as
anti-robbery detectives were still debriefing Eniofolabi and Suleimon, emerging
information said two police corporal had been arrested in connection with the
robbery.
A source
squealed that the robbers were able to escape because these two policemen, one
attached to Elere Police Station and the other Special Anti-robbery Squad
(SARS), Ikeja, monitored police Walkie-Talkie and divulged all the moves and
strategies put in place by the police command to catch the bandits.
The source
said: “Nobody would have known that these two corporals were involved, if not
for providence. The robbers that attacked that fateful Sunday killed three of
our men. They went away with their rifles. The gang went to Oshogbo to rob and
one of them was arrested. One of the rifles was recovered from him. He was the
person who fingered these two policemen. One of the policemen is attached to
Elere Police Station, the other to SARS.
“They aided
the robbers to escape, by monitoring what the Compol was saying on the
Walkie-Talkie. They would listen and use their handsets to relay messages to
the robbers, so that they would take another route.”
