A new
trend seems to be unfolding in Lagos State as robbers now kill security
operatives for the sole purpose of snatching their guns which are later used in
carrying out robberies. The revelation came to the fore as the Lagos State
Police Command arrested an eight-man robbery gang.
According
to Police authorities, the suspects, Ife Olubaba, Saheed Wasiu, Segun Idowu,
Wasiu Rafiu, Odelade Kabiru, Waliu Sonni, Taiwo Obafunsho and Taiye Agege
killed policemen and snatched their rifles.
PUNCH Metro
learnt that after the robbery, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad
commenced investigations after which the suspects were arrested in different
parts of Lagos and Ogun states.
Commissioner
of Police, Umar Manko, told journalists that one of the suspects, Olubaba, was
a close associate of robbery kingpin, Abiodun Ogunjobi aka Godogodo.
The leader
of the gang, Olubaba, told our correspondent that it was Agege that advised him
to kill the policemen. He said they snatched the guns because the policemen’s
guns were superior to theirs.
Obafunsho,
who is a female suspect, said she never participated in any robbery but Olubaba
usually gave her money.

The government should use them as example for others.
