This will definitely be good news to people around Mile 2,
alakija. Police in Lagos have arrested a member of a suspected robbery gang
that usually wore military camouflage while robbing unsuspecting private and
commercial vehicles trapped in traffic around Mile 2, Festac, Alakija and its
environs. Police sources said it was discovered that the suspect was a
dismissed soldier. He was said to have been dismissed from the Nigerian Army
over unethical conduct.
The 43-year-old suspect, identified as Adokie Tombra,
revealed that he wore Army camouflage to evade paying fare each time he boarded
commercial vehicles.
Vanguard gathered that Tombra was apprehended by policemen
attached to Festac Division, in full Military regalia, while members of his
gang were attempting to escape after a robbery operation.
During interrogation, Tombra reportedly said: “I resigned
from the Nigerian Army several years back. Usually, I wear this Nigeria Army
camouflage every time I am going out so I will not pay fare.” Confirming the
arrest, Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, a Deputy Superintendent
of Police, said the suspect was still in police custody and would soon be
arraigned in court.
