We used Onazi’s name to rob dad –Suspects

Five suspected armed robbers on Thursday said they used a fake letter to fool Super Eagles’ midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi’s father into opening his gate, before they robbed him in Jos, Plateau State.

The footballer’s father, Pa Wilson Onazi, was robbed on Monday. The suspects bolted with his Highlander Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), marked GM300A. The suspects said it was quite easy to rob the old man because he lived alone and was drunk on the fateful day.
According to them, if not for the fake letter, Onazi would not have opened his door for them. After stealing the car, they headed for Lagos. They were in a hotel in Lagos, waiting for the arrival of a buyer, when policemen swooped on them.
Those arrested are Ali Audu (20), Kingsley David (20), Joshua Ozo (20), Osita Ezeanu (23) and Ugochukwu Ebuka (20). Audu said: “I was contracted by Kingsley to deliver the letter to the old man. I pretended to be a courier service worker. I told him he had a letter from his son. Immediately, he ushered me into his compound.https://newtelegraphonline.com/used-onazis-name-rob-dad-suspects/
