A 48-year-old robbery suspect, Famous Imenje,
recently arrested by detectives attached to Ago Police Station, Okota, Isolo,
Lagos State, has narrated how he used to arm himself with weapon in order to
rob victims of expensive cameras and laptops.
Imenje, a father of four, who claimed to be married
to a woman working with a popular television located in Ikosi Ketu, was
arrested, while allegedly trying to strangle the owner of a studio cameras and
laptops and dispossessed of his wares.
A source at the station revealed that the suspect,
while being quizzed by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), in charge of the
station, offered the DPO a N200, 000 bribe to quash the case.
It was gathered that the shocked DPO, rejected the
money and ordered that the suspect be charged to court.
According to the police, the suspect specializes in
the stealing of expensive cameras. Singing
like a bird while in custody, Imenje disclosed that before carrying out any criminal
act, he would visit and study the environment where the target is located.
He said: “I usually pretend to be a customer in
order to check out the place I was going to rob. I used to arm myself with axe,
which I used to threaten victims and later rob them of their properties.”
Imenje claimed to have been robbing for the past five
years without ever being arrested. He said that luck, however, ran out on him
in his last operation.
Police said that the suspect was arrested after they
received a distress call at Ago Police Station. The call was later discovered
to have come from a victim.
Items recovered from the suspect are a brand new
generator, laptops and studio cameras valued at N5 million. Imenje blamed his alleged criminal activities
on the devil.
