The second one followed suit. I ran after them but I guess they knew the route more than I do, so they escaped before people around could even come to terms with what was going on.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Sadly for me, in that bag were a sum of N7, 500:00, two mobile phones, cloths and other personal effects. I had to discontinue the journey because all I had on me was gone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The following day, my mum chose to drive me through the same spot where my bag was snatched. Luckily for me, I saw these same guys sipping alcohol early in the morning very close to the spot. I alighted not telling my mom what I had seen, at least to confirm first. \u200eLuckily for me,\u00a0I saw RRS\u2019s patrol vehicle passing by and I waved them down, narrated all that happened yesterday and they followed me to where these guy were sitting.\u200e\u00a0They were shocked to see me with the police. They interrogated them and arrested them after confirming the incident.&#8221; Bolaji narrated.<\/p>\n<p>One of the suspects, Emmanuel Anyanwu, in his confession said they were swindlers and agreed to get Bolaji&#8217;s bag from their buyer in ketu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are swindlers. We are always on the street looking for people to defraud.\u00a0Yesterday, we met this guy. Our plan was to play him and it didn\u2019t seem to work out, so we snatched his bag and ran away. His bag is in Ketu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally, what we do is tell our victim that we are foreigners with a huge consignment of mobile phones and stationery.\u00a0We would now pretend that we were in search of marketers with enough money to buy the goods.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the process, we persuade our victims to show interest in buying the goods by dangling before them an irresistible offer. If they show interest, we tell them to demonstrate their seriousness with a commitment by depositing their phones, money or jewellery. That is how we con them\u201d. The suspect confesssed.<\/p>\n<p>Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of Police, Dolapo Badmus stated that the police would leave no stone unturned towards reducing crime in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The two robber suspect Armed Robbers Nabbed by police Folake sokoya &nbsp; The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a two man robbery gang specialising in defrauding unsuspecting members of public around Cele Bus Stop, along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway of Lagos.
