Francis Okonkwo, a 32-year-old suspected robber, was tremendously happy when the Ogun police arrested him.
Okonkwo narrated that but for the intervention of the policemen, he would have been dead as the residents of the place he went to rob were about to kill him, The Punch reports.
Speaking about his criminal way of getting money, the suspect disclosed:
“I made up to N10,000 sometimes, when I was a
pick-pocket at the Seme Border at Badagry. But I needed a lump sum of money to set up my electronics repair workshop. So, I decided to take part in this robbery operation.”
He further narrated what had happened on that day, March 24, when one Uche had told him to come to Sagamu.
“I knew Uche about four years ago, when we were working at the Seme Border. At the time, I was doing odd jobs while also making money as a pick-pocket“Uche left Seme around 2012 and I did not know what he was doing while away. But in February, he came to Seme to buy some clothes and he told me that I should come and visit him in Sagamu.
“The day I went to see him on March 24, he told me of a plan to rob a company along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. That was the only details he gave me.
“By evening, I followed him to a bush around NASFAT and we hid there. He made a call and three other men joined us. I had not seen them before. Uche opened a leather bag he was carrying and brought out a locally made shotgun and pistol. He held on to one and gave the other to one of the other men. All I held was a machete.”
