The suspects identified as Fatai Balogun, Wale Akinjobi and Gbenga
Kolawole duringinterrogation, 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 RoverSport 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 atowing 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.
