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/
