The suspects
identified as Fatai Balogun, Wale Akinjobi and Gbenga Kolawole during
interrogation, confessed to have come all the way from Ogun state to operate.
A source, who craved anonymity told Crime Alert that the police launched a
manhunt for the gang after Pasuma’s
encounter, during which they were intercepted.
The gang, as gathered, also attacked a wealthy man in Iju
Ishaga area of Lagos,where they robbed him of N500,000, his mobile phones and
other valuables. After the operation, one of them, Wale who resides around the
area reportedly dug a hole at the back of his compound where he buried his
weapon.
But unknown to him, a resident said to have sighted
him, alerted the police who quickly
arrested him and transferred him to the SARS.During interrogation, Wale
reportedly confessed that his gang robbed Pasuma of his Range Rover Sport
Utility Vehicle, SUV, and an unspecified amount of money, four months ago in Lagos. His
confessional statement, as gathered, led to the arrest of other suspected
members.
Fatai Balogun, told
Crime Alert that leader of the gang, Ade, got the highest share from
Pasuma’s loot.
“He was the one who searched Pasuma and collected money from
him. But nobody knew the amount he got.
Few days later, he bought a Toyota Camry car with the loot but gave us peanuts.
I have gone on several operations with Ade. One of them was at Ajah area
where we snatched a car at gun point along Epe road. We did that operation with
Ade’s car but we had a little problem on the road after Ade ran into a ditch.
We had to abandon the car when policemen
came looking for us but Ade later sent a towing vehicle to retrieve the car.
Wale brought the job
that landed me in trouble. He told
me there was a rich man who lives in his area, that he would want me to follow him execute the
job because he does not have the expertise to do it. I accepted because the job
was an easy one, as there won’t be much
huddles getting inside. We were three in
number that went for the operation.
I took N120,000 and gave Wale and Gbenga their share. I sold the laptops we took from the man for N40,000 each and at
the end, I relocated to my base in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I don’t know how Wale mishandled the gun he used for the operation, which led
to his being sighted by one of his neighbors,”he stated.
