A dreaded armed robber and born-again christian has
confessed that he only depends on God during robbery
and does not use charms.
A ‘born-again’ armed robber who used to dispossess
his victims of their valuables at gun point have
confessed of his crimes, as he says he depends on God
during robbery.
NewTelegraph revealed that Twenty-seven-year-old,
Akin Ayotunde further added that it was because of his
fervent belief in God that he doesn’t patronise herbalists
or use charms during robbery operations like his
colleagues.
He said that God has never failed to assist and help him
out of difficult situations. Ayotunde, who was arrested
by detectives attached to the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos State Police Command, said
he was quite sure God would aid his release this time
again.
His words: “I was caught by police because I don’t
believe in using charms during robbery operations. The
fact is that I believe in God. I believe God can save me.”
The deadly armed robber was arrested together with his
gang members after they attacked and robbed an
apartment at Igbogbo, Ikorodu area of Lagos State,
where they allegedly killed the head of the family.
The suspects said that they raided the freezer of the
victim, found food, ate and watched television before
beginning their operation. Ayotunde, while insisting
they didn’t touch the victim, explained that they forced
him to sit down on a chair and watch them, while his
wife and children were ordered to lie facedown.
“We wanted to lock the man in the room with his wife
before we left, so that he wouldn’t be able to call for
help.
When we tried to get him to stand, we noticed he was
stiff. I placed my ear to his heart and discovered it
wasn’t beating. We never robbed him with the intention
of causing his death. I had no reason to kill him. I had,
already gotten all I wanted from him.” he added.
According to information by the police, the deadly
robber and his gang members were caught after they
robbed the home of one Bello Hakeem, residing at Igbe
area, Ikorodu, Lagos. Hakeem’s house was attacked by
the gang just days after the gang members robbed the
house where a victim died. Ayotunde said that the gang
operated for six hours without distraction in Hakeem’s
home.
They carted away a lot of valuables from the victim’s
house, including his Toyota Corolla car. Ayotunde was
attempting to sell the car when he was arrested.
Ayotunde, who lives in Ikorodu, was alleged by
investigators to have once been arrested for robbery.
Police said: “He was once arrested for robbery.
He used to gain access into people’s compound by
scaling fences. Once he’s inside, he would switch off
the generator and wait for someone to step out, to
check why the generator went off. Once the person
steps out, he and his gang members would attack and
rob the person.” He will soon be charged to court.
