and Gbenga Kolawole during interrogation, confessed to
have come all the way from Ogun state to operate.
A source, who craved anonymity told Crime Alert that the
police launched a manhunt for the gang after Pasuma's
encounter, during which they were intercepted.
The gang, as gathered, also attacked a wealthy man in
Iju Ishaga area of Lagos, where they robbed him of
N500,000, his mobile phones and other valuables. After
the operation, one of them, Wale who resides around the
area reportedly dug a hole at the back of his compound
where he buried his weapon.
But unknown to him, a resident said to have sighted
him, alerted the police who quickly arrested him and
transferred him to the SARS.During interrogation, Wale
reportedly confessed that his gang robbed Pasuma of his
Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle, SUV, and an
unspecified amount of money, four months ago in
Lagos. His confessional statement, as gathered, led to
the arrest of other suspected members.
Fatai Balogun, told Crime Alert that leader of the gang,
Ade, got the highest share from Pasuma's loot.
"He was the one who searched Pasuma and collected
money from him. But nobody knew the amount he got.
Few days later, he bought a Toyota Camry car with the
loot but gave us peanuts. I have gone on several
operations with Ade. One of them was at Ajah area
where we snatched a car at gun point along Epe road.
We did that operation with Ade's car but we had a little
problem on the road after Ade ran into a ditch. We had
to abandon the car when policemen came looking for us
but Ade later sent a towing vehicle to retrieve the car.
Wale brought the job that landed me in trouble. He told
me there was a rich man who lives in his area, that he
would want me to follow him execute the job because he
does not have the expertise to do it. I accepted because
the job was an easy one, as there won't be much
huddles getting inside. We were three in number that
went for the operation.
I took N120,000 and gave Wale and Gbenga their
share. I sold the laptops we took from the man for
N40,000 each and at the end, I relocated to my base in
Abeokuta, Ogun State. I don't know how Wale
mishandled the gun he used for the operation, which led
to his being sighted by one of his neighbors,"he stated.
