Robbers waylay bank customer, snatch N250,000 in Lagos
The Lagos State Police Command have arrested a gang of robbers at Morogbo, in Badagry after they robbed a bank customer of N250,000.
The robbers, identified as Saka Ibrahim, 25; Oni Kudaisi, 35; Sodiq Dauda, 28; and Taiwo Popoola, 24, were said to have waylaid their victim, who had just withdrawn the money from an Access Bank branch at Car Wash bus stop.
The gunmen reportedly collected the money, shot into the air to scare residents and fled on two motorcycles they rode for the operation.
Some community youths, including motorcycle riders, were said to have summoned courage and gave the hoodlums a chase.
The gunmen were reportedly caught in the Ibiye area, where they had tried to mix with a crowd to escape detection.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said the police recovered one locally-made double-barrel pistol loaded with two live cartridges and a Bajaj Boxer motorcycle from the suspects.
He noted that the stolen N250,000 was also recovered, adding that they would be charged to court at the end of investigations.
