I’m Lagos pickpockets’ chairman, suspect boasts

A suspected thief, Ibrahim Kasali, has told officials of the Rapid Responds Squad (RRS) that he was the chairman of pickpockets in Oshodi area of Lagos State. Kasali was arrested alongside 20 other suspects.

The police said some of the suspects were armed robbers and pickpockets. The suspect, who is referred to as “Ibrahim Babangida of Oshodi,” was arrested moments after stealing from a victim. Kasali, pretending he wanted to board a commercial bus, picked the pocket of a passenger, the victim immediately noticed and shouted.
The suspect jumped off the bus while some passengers went after when RRS men grabbed him. It was gathered that Kasali is feared by his colleagues for his ruthlessness.
The police said: “Some of his colleagues said he is their leader. He is the one that goes around collecting items stolen or snatched from passers-by to sell and share the proceeds to all of them.”https://newtelegraphonline.com/im-lagos-pickpockets-chairman-suspect-boasts/
