Sunday and Taye.
Najim said Sunday and Taye
introduced him to robbery.
Najim noted that it was during the
last operation of the gang that they
snatched a woman’s bag containing
baby’s diaper filled with faeces.
Najim said: “In our last operation
before we were arrested, we
snatched a woman’s bag.
We thought the bag was filled with
money and other valuables, so we
decided to close early that day and
went home to share our loot. We
were shocked to find baby poo and
the woman’s pant inside the bag.”
The gang’s waterloo started after
the members went to have a nice
time at Mushin and decided to go
for an operation at the Oshodi area
at night.
When policemen sighted three men
on motorbike, they flagged them.
But rather than halt, the rider
attempted to escape.
The rider and his motorbike
crashed.
While Sunday and Taye
disappeared into the night, Najim
was not so lucky.
Najim was arrested and a gun
recovered from him.
He was later used as bait to arrest
Sunday and Taye.
According to the police, Najim, a
commercial motorcyclist robber,
and his gang members had been
terrorising Lagos and Ogun States
axis for long.
The gang’s hideout is Mushin.
Najim confessed that he had once
been arrested and even sent to
prison for threatening a man who
had sex with his girlfriend.
He was only released in December
and apparently is on his way to
prison again if he is found guilty
for robbery by a competent court.
Najim said: “We’ve snatched three
motorbikes in Sango-Ota Ogun
State. We’ve also snatched bags and
other valuable goods from people.
We usually sell the motorbikes to a
man called Baba Ijora in Mushin.
We also have another buyer at
Cotonou. We sold the first
motorbike to a man in Cotonou at
the rate of N35,000 while the
second and third were sold to Baba
Ijora at the rate of N30,000 and
N40,000.”
