“I started robbery in 1996 but in 1999...
"Odun was an armed robber, so, we started operating together. We worked
with several gangs and I invested lots of my money in arms buying. I
also built five houses in Ifo, Ilaro, Ikorodu and Ibadan. I usually kill
policemen and take their rifles because policemen have killed several
of my boys and taken most of my rifles from them.
“I have no regrets for all I have done. I have no advice for young people, who want to become armed robbers like me. I have three children from three women. The police should take all my properties.”
According to police authorities, the suspect led the gang that killed seven people, including the owner of 04 Hotel, Ajah, Lagos, Olanrewaju Subair, on July 7, 2013. They also killed two other security guards at a popular hotel along Apapa Road, Ebute Meta area of the state on the same day.
