They were arrested during a raid ordered by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Umar Manko.
The arrests were effected by the men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) after three days of thorough search of the area.
The four robbers are Rasheed Semino, aka One Life, aged 28, from Abule Oloni, Ogun State; Hassan Sunday Olaiya, aka Baba Dara Sobo, aged 26, from Ikare, Ondo State; and Yomi Olorunfemi, aged 26.
In a short interview, Rasheed said: “I am an armed robber, but I concentrate on car snatching because it is not stressful. I bought my locally-made pistol from Lateef for N50,000. I don’t know his residence because he intentionally did not want any of us to know. He likes Toyota Camry a lot and I have given him more than one Camry cars.
“We have operated in Oworonshoki, Bariga, Gbagada, Somolu, Ikorodu, but mostly in Oworonshoki and Bariga areas.”
CP Manko, in a chat with our correspondent, vowed to clamp down on all the dangerous criminals in Lagos who refused to run away from Lagos, stressing, “We just started with Oworonshoki. We will comb the whole of Lagos. We will also extend the clampdown to other criminals who come to Lagos from other states for operation.
He warned all area commanders and divisional police officers that henceforth they would be held responsible for robberies committed in their areas, “if it is established that they fail in their duties to prevent the robberies.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
