The Lagos State Police Command has
arrested two members of a robbery gang for allegedly attacking a
polythene producing company in Alibaba, in the Isashi area of the state,
stealing a raw material evaluated at N6.4m.
The suspects are 42-year-old Moruf Afolabi and one Saheed Adeoti, a new worker of the company.
A policeman, identified simply as Tunde, aka Agbo,
reportedly escorted a truck containing 220 bags of the stolen raw
material to the Mangoro area of the state, where they were sold.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the
suspects were arrested sometime in September 2016, three weeks after
they attacked the company, Alphabet Packaging Nigeria Limited.
It was learnt that the gang members had
gone to the company around 7am on Sunday, August 14, and told a security
guard at the gate that they were directed by the manager to collect the
raw material.
The guard reportedly insisted that they called the manager on the phone so he could confirm the directive.
When the robbers realised their ploy would not work, they reportedly resorted to force.http://punchng.com/policeman-escorts-robbery-suspects-sell-loot/
