Police Go After Beninese Bizman Accused Of Robbery

Lagos State Police Command detectives have initiated a search operation for a Beninese entrepreneur who is suspected to be responsible for a string of exotic car hijackings, some of which resulted in fatalities.

The Beninese is said to be the head of several armed robbery gangs that operate mostly in the South West and Abuja.

A source said a team of detectives was liaising with Interpol in Benin Republic to extradite the kingpin to Nigeria.

Recall that a Beninese, Amani Tidjani, also led a car snatching syndicate in Nigeria in early 2005 but was arrested and brought to Nigeria where he was tried and jailed.
