We have more bullets than Police: Confession of a Robbery Kingpin


A suspected armed robbery kingpin whose gang allegedly killed four policemen in an operation recently has explained why they were able to perform the feat. Oluwole, a.k.a Omoba told Crime Watch at the police headquarters, Ikeja, Lagos, “we always have enough arms and ammunition.
We were always armed to the teeth. You see, the police have limited arms and ammunition that they carry about but for us, we always have more than enough.” According to Omoba, he started armed robbery five years ago and his gang had been successful except recently when they stormed Victoria Garden City (VGC) and met unusual resistance from the police. “I think, we had been very successful for the past five years.
We had robbed in many Southern states until the recent robbery at VGC where two of our members were killed. It was on March 24, the police opened fire on us. The gunshots were from back, front and the two sides. I managed to escaped but Paul and AY were killed. “It was not like that in other states.
When we fire back at police, they used to run for their lives, but these Lagos policemen were shooting and shooting that I asked my men to shoot their ways out. I was shocked with the kind of shooting I experienced that day. “
