It was gathered that Ndidi, a native of Ohunmere in the same Agbor, had been deported from Ghana where he was working as a bus driver but decided to go into robbery in the night while he was seen as a born-again Christian and a worker in a new generation church.

The cover was blown open when his partner was arrested and he confessed that Ndidi was the leader of the gang and he was traced to the church where he was arrested.

He immediately owned up to the atrocities leveled against him blaming the devil for his decision to go into crime, promising to stop his involvement in criminality if he is pardoned.

He further confessed that one, Chuks Okpehoro, was his accomplice in the latest operation in which about four handsets and other items were forcefully collected from their victims.

Okpehoro, also 23 and a school dropout, said that Ndidi invited him to be part of the operation, and also promised to turn a new leaf if pardoned.
