operatives of the Zonal Intervention Squad,
(ZIS) Onikan, Lagos State, that he just can’t
stop stealing and robbing, as his life depends
on it.
He said that he had been stealing right from
his childhood. Three other members of the
gang, arrested along with him are 34-year-
old Oluseye Arokoyo, 24-year-old Ahmed Alli
and the receiver of the stolen vehicles, 31-
year-old Moses Ofoke. The suspect and his gang members were said
to have stolen about 26 Toyota Camry cars
from Oworoshoki, Bariga and Somolu areas
of Lagos metropolis. He said: “I have done everything to stop
stealing, but I couldn’t. My parents also
tried their best, but I cannot do away
with robbery. I was sacked where I
worked as a driver after I stole my
boss’ money. “I’m a driver with two children. I started doing this job after I was sacked
where I worked as a driver at Victoria
Island. My friend introduced me to this
job in 2017. I have stolen 11 vehicles in
Oworonshoki, Bariga and Somolu in
Lagos. What we do is to go out around 2 a.m. A man cuts a master key for us to steal
Toyota cars. We open the cars and kick-
start the ignitions. We don’t rob at
gunpoint. We got the key for N1000 or
N2000. After stealing, we send the cars
to Ondo to two buyers. The first car we stole was a Nissan salon.
We sold it for N100, 000, the other; a
Toyota Camry was sold for N200, 000.
Others were sold for N300, 000. We
usually share the money after selling the
cars. I used my own money to rent a house and bought household items.”
