Police arrested four persons, all women, among them two nursing mothers. Several police uniforms with different ranks, badges, belts, boots cardigans, caps and force numbers were recovered from the suspects.
Vanguard gathered that investigation was still on to ascertain whether the force numbers were authentic.
The arrest came on the heels of petitions to the Inspector-General of Police, IG, Idris Ibrahim, following which he instituted a panel of inquiry headed by a retired IG.
Part of the panel’s recommendations include request that the Lagos State Police Command investigate the matter.
Consequently, the X-Squad of the command, headed by Mr. Bode Fakeye, was directed by the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, to clamp down on suspected perpetrators of the illegal act.
The suspects, during interrogation, admitted to the claim but refused to mention names of their buyers. Spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the arrest, said: “The CP ordered the officer-in-charge of X-Squad to investigate, after the case was referred to us from the Police High Command, Abuja.
“When he finally investigated and found out that it was true, the CP ordered the arrest of the suspects and seizure of the materials.”
She added that the suspects would be arraigned in court today on a “two-count charge of conspiracy and unlawful possession and sales of police kits contrary to Section 328, Sub-sections A, B, C and D of Lagos State, 2011.”
Why We Killed LTV Presenter – Robbery Suspect Confesses
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested six suspected members of the robbery gang that shot Segun Abayomi, a presenter of an independent programme on the Lagos Television, LTV, three weeks ago at Acme Road, Ogba area of Lagos.
The father of three was said to have been confirmed dead on arrival at a private hospital, where he was rushed to.
Late Abayomi, who was in the company of other journalists, was returning home after the production of his programme, when he was intercepted at 2a.m. by the robbery gang.
The suspects, who were paraded among other suspected criminals at the command’s headquarters, admitted to have carried out the operation but stated that they were not aware he was a journalist.
One of them, Taiwo Badmus, a bricklayer who claimed he joined the gang last year, said that their plan was not to kill anyone, but to collect the car and sell it to a waiting buyer.
According to Badmus, “on that day, we shot the man because he was struggling with us. I was not the one that shot him, Damy did. But Damy is not here now.
“We were driving along Acme Road when we blocked the man’s car. I can’t remember the type of car now because it was dark. Instead of him to cooperate, he was stubborn and Damy shot him on the head.
“We started shouting at him for shooting because that was not part of what we discussed. The situation changed our plan because we wanted to collect the car and sell to a man who was waiting for us at a mechanic workshop.
“We immediately left the scene, the man and the vehicle and went back to our base at Agege to arrange ourselves for another operation.
“Since I joined them last year, at times I got N10,000 and at other times N20,000, including phones and laptops from each operation. I use the money to feed myself. I am an orphan.”
The suspects, according to the command’s boss, Fatai Owoseni, would soon be charged to court.
Nigerians Are Over-Dramatizing The Bad Economy, Governor Okorocha Says- True Or False?
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday declared that Nigerians are over dramatizing the current economic recession.
He spoke when he hosted to team of officers from the National Defence College, NDC, at the Government House, Owerri.
“I think what we call recession has been over dramatised. I say so because agriculture had remained the nation’s main pivot upon which all the sectors of our economy revolve”, Okorocha said.The Governor recalled that before the advent of oil, agriculture provided over 70 percent of employment and resources of the nation, as well as over 75 percent of Nigeria’s foreign reserves.
“Because this vital sector has been neglected, it has given rise to poverty today, including the rise in the dollar and the fall of the Naira.
“Most times in Nigeria, we treat the symptoms rather than the disease.
“Let us discuss more about the disease, which is the total neglect of the agricultural sector of the nation’s economy by our past leaders”, he added.
“At that time, we were a rich nation. Oil made us lazy. This led us into this recession. Imo State is keying into the revitalization of the agric sector.In his remark, leader of the visiting team, Air Vice Marshal H. C. Okpala, said the NDC was where potential strategic leaders were trained.
“We have gone deep in our palm plantation and we are moving speedily into rice farming”, Okorocha added.
Okpala noted that the course will afford the participants the opportunity to access, suggest and recommend solutions to the federal and state governments for implementation.
Okorocha’s government recently said a huge heap of refuse was left uncleared in Owerri to punish the residents.
