Politicians Sponsor Us, Robbery Suspect Declares

By Correspondent

 A tricycle operator, Muyideen Ibrahim who was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command over alleged armed robbery has made public that some of the arms used by robbers were given to them by politicians during campaigns. Ibrahim, 29 was arrested alongside other robbery suspects said to have been terrorising the state. Other arrested members of the gang are: Ramonu Sanusi, Rilawanu Ayinde , Sodiq Olaide and Kazeem Idris. According to the police, the items recovered from Ibrahim alongside five other suspected members of his gangs were some locally made pistols and live cartridges. Ibrahim confessed thus, ”˜I use my Keke Marwa to convey weapons for the gang.  I am a political thug and not a robber. ”˜I work during elections only. Most of the guns were given to us by politicians. We get the guns from some honourables at Onike. ”˜They pay us at the end of the day. But some political thugs end up not taking the guns back to the politicians. Most of the thugs are cultists. ”˜One of them, Dagbe Ahmed, stays with me. But I never knew he is an armed robber. I was arrested because the police got to know that he stays with me. ”˜Dagbe and I work for different politicians. I do not fight or kill like them, I only operate with my Keke Marwa after elections.’
