Two armed robbers caught while drinking in a joint after robbery

Two armed robbers who attacked a man
identified as Sammy Bolaji while on his way to
Ogun State have finally been caught as they
were squandering the man’s money at a drinking
joint in Lagos.
The duo identified as, Emmanuel Anyanwu, 39,
an ex-convict and Kennedy Ujagbor, 42, a drug
addict, were jointly arrested by the RRS officers
at Cele Bus-stop.
The were arrested by the operatives of the Rapid
Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police
Command around Cele Bus-stop, along Oshodi-
Apapa Expressway of Lagos.
Speaking about the incident, Bolaji:-
Confirming the development, the Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO) Superintendent of
Police, SP Dolapo Badmus stated that the police
would leave no stone unturned towards reducing
crime in the state.
The suspects have been transferred to the State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for
further investigation.

“They asked me if I knew a
particular address and I told them
that I was a stranger in that area.
As I made to leave them, one of them
grabbed my bag from behind and
took to his heels. 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 term with what
was going on.
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 were gone.
“The following day, my mum chose
to drive me through this 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….
As things would work my way, I saw
RRS’s patrol vehicle passing by and I
waved them down, narrated all that
happened yesterday and they
followed me to where these guy were
sitting.
“They were shocked to see me with
the police. They interrogated them
and arrested them after confirming
the incident.
They promised the officers that they
would retrieve my bag for me in
Ketu, where they sold it to,” he
stated.
Emmanuel Anyanwu, in his
confession said, “We are swindlers.
We are always on the street looking
for people to defraud…. Yesterday,
we met this guy. Our plan was to
play him and it didn’t seem to work
out, so we snatched his bag and ran
away. His bag is in Ketu.”
The suspect revealed their Modus
Operandi, “Normally, what we do is
tell our victim that we are foreigners
with a huge consignment of mobile
phones and stationery.
We would now pretend that we were
in search of marketers with enough
money to buy the goods…. 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 jewelry. That is
how we con them.”
