Buhari’s policies pushed us into robbery –Suspects

Suspected armed robbers, Mr. Uche Ezeugo and Somadina, yesterday said that they were forced into robbery because of hardship experienced in the country in the recent times.

Ezeugo and Somadina are being detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Anambra State. Ezeugo said he needed money to give his late father a befitting burial, while Somadina also blamed his action on hunger and starvation.
The suspects, who are both indigenes of Agulezechukwu in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, were arrested at Nanka in Orumba North Local Government Area for alleg- edly stealing some laptops. Responding to questions from journalists, Ezeugo, who is in his 20s, denied being a natural thief.
He said: “The hard condition caused by President Muham- madu Buhari’s economic policies led me into this temptation.” The two suspects, who pleaded for leniency, confessed to committing the crime for the first time.https://newtelegraphonline.com/buharis-policies-pushed-us-robbery-suspects/
