They lost their valuables as shops were looted. Vanguard learned that anti-robbery team led by the Divisional Police Officer, Superintendent of Police Robinson Eregare, apprehended the suspects while they robbed residents of Amosu-Igboro, Ijanikin.
The police acted on a distress call from residents that robbers were operating in the area. Twenty-five years old Ajay Solomon, a native of Oto-Awori, who just returned from prison about three weeks ago, explained his involvement in the robbery. He said: “I started robbing about two years ago. I went into robbery because I am an orphan. I became a cultist about five years ago, when I joined Eiye confraternity. My parents died while I was young.
“I dropped out of school in SS 2 and became a welder apprentice. I am not the leader of the gang. The name of the gang leader is Dollar. “We planned the operation while we were at the Egun festival, which was held at Oto-Awori.” Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kenneth Nwosu, said the suspects has been arrested and will soon be arraigned in court.
