“We were six that participated in the robbery. Myself, Daniel the store keeper and his older brother, Hosea, , and another guy.

We got N1.2 million. I gave Hosea N400,000 for him and his brother. Their share was N200,000 each. I took N250,000, gave Don and Chris N200,000 each and gave the other guy who was a new person N150,000.

That operation was my fourth. I was arrested first and then I told the police how to get them and they were also arrested. But the other members have fled.”

The state Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, while parading the suspects, said two locally made pistols, two cartridges and a locally-made magazine with two .9mm live ammunition were also recovered from the gang.
