The Special Anti-Robbery section of the
Lagos State Police Command has arrested six suspected armed robbers, who
allegedly attacked a female inspector and collected her bag containing
N50,000 and other valuables.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the
robbers, at the Idi Oro bus stop in the Mushin area of Lagos, had
swooped on the inspector, whose name was not disclosed by the command,
at about 10.30pm last Wednesday.
The inspector, who is attached to the
State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba, was said to have
alighted from a commercial bus, when the robbers attacked her and
snatched the bag.
Our correspondent gathered that the
matter was reported at the Anti-Robbery section of the SDCI and 23
suspects were picked up from the bus stop the following day.
The inspector was said to have identified six of the suspects as the attackers.
The suspects are Monday Dahoof, 19;
Opeyemi Abiodun, 28; Moshood Ibrahim, 27; Ademola Adeyanka, 28; Tope
Akinyemi, 34; and Ibrahim Kamilu, 22.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro, the suspects, however, denied attacking the inspector.
One of them, Akinyemi, said he was a
fashion designer in the Oloosa area and he was returning from his shop
when the police picked him up.
