*Suspect<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the two-man robbery gang arrested by the operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command for allegedly robbing an 81 year old lady in her apartment, has confessed that his ringleader, an herbalist, now at large masterminded the crime.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Taiwo Segun was apprehended after they had successfully dispossessed the 81 year old lady of her valuable at Oduduwa Street, Itire, Lagos.<\/p>\n

Segun and his accomplice had collected $10,000, \u00a35,000, an N100, 000 and a box containing assorted jewelry from their victim around\u00a08:00 p.m\u00a0at the weekend.
\nWhile confessing at the RRS\u2019s Headquarters, Segun disclosed that\u00a0he was introduced into robbery by the herbalist, simply identified as Demola, who promised to give him 50 percent from whatever they stole from the old woman.<\/p>\n

The suspect explained that they got clues on how to rob the old woman by interrogating her unsuspecting daughter that was getting treatment from the herbalist.<\/p>\n

“The mastermind is an herbalist, Demola by name. He was\u00a0treating one of the woman’s daughters (name withheld) who has\u00a0sore in her right foot. Whenever the lady visited him for treatment, he was always stylishly gathering information about her mother from her. Unknowingly to the lady, he had gathered all necessary descriptions and information needed to perpetuate the robbery.<\/p>\n

“After gathering enough information, he told me that we have a special operation. He also instructed that his patient, the woman’s daughter must not be aware because we were going to their house to rob her mother.” Segun explained.
\nHe also told investigators that the herbalist knew the exact time to strike the house, the description of the apartment, where the woman’s money and other valuables were kept following the information gotten from her daughter.<\/p>\n

“We carried out the robbery successfully, gained entrance into the two-storey building and headed straight to the old woman\u2019s flat. From our preliminary investigation, we got to know that the first flat opposite the entrance gate was theirs. We went straight inside the flat without any stress. We met the 81 year old woman while sitting on her prayer mat inside the living room.\u00a0 We dragged and threatened her with cutlass and axe to surrender all her belongings including foreign currencies with her or else we will waste her life”. The suspect narrated<\/p>\n

According to Segun, the old woman cooperated with them and handed over a bag filled with\u00a0both Nigeria and foreign currencies.<\/p>

“We also forcefully collected her gold jewelry box. However, on our way out, we overheard the voice of the old woman crying and shouting for help. Unknowingly to us, RRS operatives who were patrolling the area heard her voice. As we were rushing out to escape from the house, the operatives sighted us and we took to our heels. But we were given a hot chase which led to my arrest but my accomplice managed to escape with the local and foreign currencies while the jewelry box was retrieved from me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy gang leader is a very powerful herbalist. He knows when you have money on you. The first day I followed him to rob was a day we went to Okota road. On getting there, he saw one man along Okota road, and he pointed at the man and told me the man had money on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved closer to the man and he recited some incantations, and to my surprise, that man handed over his money about Two Hundred Thousand Naira, to us. Out of that money, he gave me just Eleven Thousand Naira (N11, 000.00)\u201d He further confessed.<\/p>\n

While confirming the arrest, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Dolapo Badmus said that the command is making effort to arrest the gang leader. She assured that Police will leave no stone un-turned to nip crimes at bud in the state and said the suspect has been transferred to Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) for further investigation.<\/p>\n
