Two robbery suspects, members of a robbery
syndicate that specialize in snatching money and
valuables from unsuspecting passengers were
nabbed by angry mob along stadium road, Ilorin
on Wednesday.
According to the unsuspecting victim, "I went to
change some currency from naira to dollars at a
bureau de change. After the transactions, I
stopped the taxi with the men inside. Getting to
my destination, I asked the driver to stop but he
said he wanted to pick someone ahead before
dropping me so he moved up a bit and stopped.
I tried to open the door but it was difficult so the
man near me moved closer to me, I never
suspected he wanted to rob me, tried to assist in
opening the door. As I dropped from the cab, I
discovered that I have been robbed so I quickly
raised alarm, they quickly threw down my money
and sped off, so passers bye assisted in giving
them a hot chase with Okada and apprehended
the two of them".
It took the quick intervention of men from Special
Anti Robbery Squared, SARS, for the suspects not
to have died of the beating sustained by angry
mob.
The robbers were arrested in a Mazda taxi cab,
Registration number XD 358 KEY Kwara number
and officially registered with taxi union with
registration number LRN A5/ 264.
The Police Public relations Officer, DSP, Femi
Fabode confirmed the arrest of the robbers and
stated that they actually specialize in robbing
people coming from banks adding that they have
their own taxi with which they monitor bank
customers and pretend that they are taxi drivers
on commercial duty.
