“I Make A Lot Of Money Everyday By Transporting Armed Robbers From Place To Place” – Okada Rider Confesses

normal amount. I did not know that would be the day we would be caught. We had not even robbed anybody that day when we were arrested at Shasha in Egbeda.”

Sunday’s accomplice, Ahmed Musa, who wielded the gun and snatched bags and jewellery anytime they went out for operations, claimed that it was his first time ever going out with him.

Musa, an Ilorin, Kwara State indigene, said he had just finished his apprenticeship as a generator repairer last year and he realised there was no way he could afford to buy equipment to set up a shop.

He said, “Hunger pushed me into robbery. I thought to myself that it is either I do this thing or I die of hunger. I stopped school at Senior Secondary One and my trade has not produced any money.

“We planned to target women bags and jewellery mostly the day we were arrested. I am not happy about becoming a robber. My family do not know what has happened to me.”

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, said apart from Musa and Sunday, 15 other robbers who specialised in robbing Lagos residents on motorcycles were arrested in the last one week.

He said some of the robbers concentrated on people leaving banks with the hope that any bag they held must have money in it.

According to him, the police impounded a motorcycle used by one of the suspects that had been modified for increased speed.

“During the operations that led to the arrest of the suspects, two of them engaged the police in a shootout and they were killed in the process,” Owoseni said.
