Police have apprehended four persons suspected to be members of a
notorious gang which launched vicious attacks on banks in Ikorodu area
of Lagos on June 24.
It was gathered that police were informed of
soldiers in Ondo State who intercepted one of the suspects during a
stop-and-search. According to information, the suspect was on his way to
his hometown at Okitikpupa in Ondo State.
When the man was stopped,
bundles of new N1,000 notes with bank seals were found in his bag. The
soldiers, who were also at alert on the manhunt for the robbers,
contacted the Lagos State Police Command on the development.
The former state Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, immediately
demanded the transfer of the suspect to Lagos for further interrogation
and subsequent arrest of the others. It was gathered that suspect
initially claimed that he learnt of the robbery and went to Ikorodu to
get his own share of the loot.
However, his statement changed while
being interrogated by the Special Anti- Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos.
During the attacks on the banks, witnesses said the robbers made away
with cash running into millions of naira.
