The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos State Police
Command led by Abba Kyari, a superintendent of police, has arrested a
welder, Jekins Omorogbe, 27, who was allegedly hired to rob a Bureau de
Change.
Jekins, P.M.NEWS gathered, was hired from Delta
State where he resided, by the leader of the gang, whose name was given
as Chukwudi to rob the Forex shop located at the Trade Fair Complex
along Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria. It was
further learnt that the robbers had invaded the shop under the pretence
that they were there to do business, but ended up robbing the Bureau de
Change of N6 million before a distress call was made to Trade Fair
Police Divisional Headquarters by the victims.
This call was said to have prompted the patrol team which immediately got Jekins arrested. While being interrogated, he told the police that he resided in Delta and had just completed his apprenticeship as a welder. Items
allegedly recovered from him included a single barrel cut to size gun,
one miniature look-alike pistol, one dagger, one kitchen knife and six
live cartridges.
