A robbery suspect nabbed by the police in Lagos has confessed to working with unscrupulous politicians to unleash mayhem.
Muyideen Ibrahim
A 29-year-old tricycle operator, who was arrested by the Lagos
State Police Command, has alleged that some of the arms used by robbers
were given to them by politicians during campaigns.
The suspect, Muyideen Ibrahim, was arrested alongside other robbery
suspects that have been terrorising the state. Recovered from him and
five other suspected members of his gangs, were some locally made
pistols and live cartridges.
Identities of suspected members of his gang are; Ramonu Sanusi,
Rilawanu Ayinde , Sodiq Olaide and Kazeem Idris . His arrest as
gathered, followed a tip off by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad,
SARS Ikeja.
In an interview with Vanguard , the suspect also confessed to be
using his tricycle to convey weapons for members of separate robbery
gangs, who he said were also members of different confraternities.
He said “I use my keke Marwa to convey weapons for the gang. I
am a political thug and not a robber. I work during elections only. Most
of the guns were given to us by politicians.
"We get the guns from some honorables at Onike. They pay us at
the end of the day. But some political thugs end up not taking the guns
back to the politicians. Most of the thugs are cultists.
"One of them(cultists) Dagbe Ahmed, stays with me. But I never
knew he is an armed robber. I was arrested because the police got to
know that he stays with me. Dagbe and I work for different politicians.
"I do not fight or kill like them, I only operate with my keke marwa after elections”, he said.
