A suspect, simply
identified as Victor, is angry with his accomplice, Ajao Musbau aka
Alewedo, for luring him into robbery and turning around to assist police
in catching him.
Victor said he complained to his friend, Musbau, that feeding his family was getting tough daily and that he was tired of collecting handouts from his friend.
According to a police source, he had begged his friend to introduce him to his line of business. “But I didn’t tell him to introduce me to robbery. He planned with the police to catch me. In fact, it was only twice I went to rob with him. It was only one car we snatched.
“He went for a robbery and they arrested him. I didn’t go with him to the operation where he was arrested,” he said. Victor was arrested after Musbau called and told him to meet him somewhere; that there was an operation they would be going for.
Victor dashed to the rendezvous but while he was discussing with Musbau, policemen appeared from nowhere and arrested him. Preliminary investigation shows that Musbau is an Indian hemp seller who heads a robbery gang in Lagos.
Musbau, who used to sell hemp at Alakoko area, was used as bait by the police to catch other members of the gang. Also in police custody, are Sunday and Emmanuel Ajao.
The police also recovered four locally- made guns and 24 cartridges from the gang. Musbau was said to have been arrested while returning from a robbery operation. While being quizzed by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) detectives, Musbau named Victor.
According to Victor, Musbau told him that he would assist him with a job, if he knew how to drive very well. He said: “Musbau told me that somebody wanted a car, that there was a place we should go and collect the car at Ikorodu.
When he said that, I told him that I have two friends, who can also go with us. I wanted to know how we would collect the car, but Musbau said I should not worry.” On the fateful day they would go for the operation, Musbau came with four guns, while Victor came with the two friends he had earlier promised to get.
“They left for Ikorodu that night and succeeded in snatching a Camry car. Victor said he later didn’t know how Musbau disposed the car. But he was given N80,000 for that operation,” a police source said. Victor kicked against the sharing formula after he discovered that Musbau took the lion’s share.
He wanted Musbau to share the money equally, but the friend said that it was not done in any gang. Two weeks later, Musbau called Victor for another operation. The operation was at Ojota area of Lagos State.
