Operatives of the Federal Special Anti- Robbery Squad, FSARS, Adeniji Adele, Lagos, have arrested the manager of a petrol station located in Ojokoro area of Lagos, for allegedly masterminding the robbery operation in his company where N4. 6 million was carted away, last week.
.
Preliminary investigation by the operatives showed that the suspect, Ade Ilesanmi, allegedly connived with three members of a robbery gang to dispossess the company's supervisor of the amount, while on her way to the bank.
.
The robbers, as gathered, stormed the petrol station on two motorcycles, shooting indiscriminately before snatching the money from the station's supervisor, identified simply as Mary.
.
But in his confessional statement to the police, the suspect who is a graduate of English Language admitted to the crime, disclosing, however, that the robbers did not give him a dime from the loot.
.
According to him, " I gave information about the money which was to be deposited in a bank to Kolabo, Fasaban and another member of the gang.
.
The station's supervisor and I usually go to the bank to deposit the money. As we were about leaving, I called them. They intercepted our vehicle, shooting into the air. In the process, they injured the supervisor but they did not touch me. I never told them to injure her. I only instructed them to take the money.
.
"My share of the amount was supposed to be N1.5 million. But since the operation, they never contacted me. Now I am made to suffer all alone," said the 33 year-old man.
This is just bad. What a wicked world we live in. Thank God this one was caught. His case would serve as a lesson to others.
