35-year-old suspect, Ogaga Apomu, told lagos police that he
spent the money he realised from robbery to sponsor his brother’s
education. Himself and two others, Daniel Yakubu (34), and Daniel Yuana
(28), were arrested by police detectives for terrorising residents of
Festac Town in Lagos State.
The state Commissioner of Police said the suspects had been on the wanted list of the command since October 13, 2015 after they carried out robbery operation in Festac Town.
According to him, the robbers stole millions of naira and goods. The
suspects were arrested by men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad
(FSARS), who acted on information, while attempting to carry out another
robbery operation. Yakubu told our correspondent that he was invited by
his younger brother to rob the place where he was working. He said:
“Initially I declined, but when I realised that the salary I was earning was not enough, I went back to him and look for some other people to join in the operation. I needed money; that was why I went to him. Our first robbery operation was at a super market in Festac Town where my younger brother was working. It is Ogaga who brought the guns we used for the operations.” Apomu said they carted away about N1.2 million from the supermarket. He said: “The gun we used for the robbery, I got it from a friend of mine,
They came to Nigeria to rob. After their operation, they left the gun in
my possession, since then I have been using it for robbery. “I used all
the money I made from the robbery operation to sponsor the education of
my younger brother at the village. I started robbery operation since
2011 from Delta State before I came down to Lagos.
“I have some other important things I can use the money for, but because we are just two from our parents and because of the love I have for him and because I want him to succeed that was why I am sending every money I made from robbery to him to further his education.”
Apomu added that his parents did not know that he was an armed robber. “I worked as a painter in Lagos before I joined the robbery gang. I went into robbery because the money I was making from the painting job was not enough.
I don’t know how my younger brother would feel if he hears about my situation,” he said. On his part, Yuana said he was working as a stock keeper at the supermarket which they came to robbed. He said: “I was the one who invited them to come and rob the supermarket.
