An armed robbery suspect, Ahmed Rewanu, 27, aka Alagbara recently nabbed by the men of the Lagos State Police Command has accused the police of using voodoo to arrest him as he was caught unawares thereby hampering his escape.

The culprit was arrested with other suspects namely Rahmon Alao, Mufu Akanni, aka Olosa Oko and Lukman Suleiman aka Stubborn by the Rader Squad of the State Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.

According to the police, the suspects are part of the syndicate terrorising the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos State. Punch Metro reports they were busted at a hotel in the Orile area by the police team, which was led by the Deputy Commander of the Anti-Robbery Squad.

This set of robbers seized incidences of street fights to rob residents of their valuables and three of the gang members were in possession of guns.

Rewanu said, “The police used charm to arrest me. I was caught unawares.

“Anytime there was a fight at Amukoko, Alaba and Orile Iganmu, I always joined in the fight with other boys. We are about 10 in number, but only three of us have guns.

“After each fight, we always went to a hotel where we shared our loots. I have collected up to six phones, which I sold to our leader at the rate of N3, 000 each. Our leader bought all the items we stole from us and resold them.”

The Kwara State indigene said the gang leader was still at large, and might not be arrested anytime soon.
