A seven-man robbery gang led by a woman, Chioma Ezekwesiri, has been
smashed by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Lagos, southwest
Nigeria.
The robbery suspects were arrested while attempting to rob Bolatito Hotel, Kola Bus Stop, Ijaiye, Lagos.
In chat with P.M.NEWS,
Chioma said she arranged for the guns with Raymond Chukwuka, a.k.a.
Stubborn, they were to use for the operation, which she claimed was a
land matter, whereas the police said that their mission was allegedly to
rob a male customer of the hotel, who sells fertilizer, of about N8
million.
Other suspected members of the gang are: Amadi Igwe, 41,
Raymond Chukwuka, 24, Ignatius Okeredi, 27, Michael Madu, 52, and
Okechukwu Jerome, 28, and a yet-to-be identified member who is at large.
The
alleged robbery operation, according to the police, was foiled by some
staff of the hotel, who promptly made a distress call to SARS
operatives.
The law enforcement agents were said to have
surrounded the hotel, and later searched all its occupants. It was in
the process that two locally made guns and 12 live ammunition were
recovered from the robbery suspects.
This is a case of "what a man can do, a woman can do better".
