The four armed robbers arrested by the police
It is the end of the road for four suspected armed robbers who
allegedly terrorised residents of Lekki Phase I in Lagos as they have
now been arrested by security operatives attached to Maroko Police
Division.
Ndiyo Bassey (24), Justine Simeon (26), David Joseph (23) and Sadam
Babayo (25) were apprehended by a team led by the Divisional Police
Officer (DPO) Isah Abdulmajid at about 2:30 a.m. last Tuesday.
The suspects were reportedly found with knives, with police and
military uniforms and accoutrements, which they allegedly used to snatch
motorcycles and other valuables from their victims.
Bassey, a resident of 18, Fatai Arobieke Street in Lekki, allegedly
had Police Mobile Force’ (PMF) trouser, a military camouflage cap and
two knives on him at the point of arrest.
Simon, it was gathered, had a military uniform on and a knife,
while Babayo was found with PMF cap and a radio phone (walkie talkie).
The police said the suspects could not state where they got the
accoutrements, just as they were accused of possible links to militants
suspected to be dwelling in Otodo Gbame slum.
Our correspondent gathered that the suspects have been transferred to the anti-kidnapping unit for further action.
