Controversy as police accuse brothersof using mom’s car to rob* 'We're not robbers'

Detectives attached to the Lagos State Police Command have arrested two brothers for using their mother’s car to rob unsuspecting ladies on Lagos Island.

According to the state Commissioner Police, Fatai Owoseni, the brothers, Ikenna Onunkwo (28) and Chinedu Onukwo (23), every morning use to dress up and leave their home as if they are going to the office.
Nobody knew they used to go out each morning to rob. It was gathered that in the evening, after office hours, the brothers, still using their mother’s Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), would offer to give female passengers at bus stops lift. They would later rob them of their valuables before pushing them out of the car.
He said: “Luck ran out on the two brothers after robbing a lady on November 13, on their way from Lagos Island. The lady was able to get the registration number of the vehicle. “She reported the incident to the Bar Beach Police Station.
Through the assistance of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), the vehicle was traced to a mechanic workshop at Surulere area of the metropolis.” One of the suspects, Ikenna, the elder, vehemently denied that he and his brother were robbers.
He said: “My brother and I studied at the Pan American University in Cotonou. I went to school to defend my project only for me to receive a phone call from my younger sister in Nigeria that my mother and brother had been arrested for using her jeep to rob.
