Police Sergeant Arrested After Leading Robbery Gang

 
A Sergeant with the Nigerian Police has
been arrested for leading a gang of
armed robbers. ….
A serving police sergeant serving
with the Area ‘A’ Police Command,
Lion Building, Campbell, Lagos
State, Joseph Okweke , has been
arrested for leading a notorious
armed robbery gang that has been
terrorising residents of the state.
It was gathered that Sergeant
Okweke , who hails from Obuluku in
Delta State, used to wear his
uniform and gave out guns and
ammunitions to his gang whenever
they went to rob.
He told investigators that the sight
of his uniform used to make people
to lower their guards, making it easy
for him and his men to swoop on
them.
The five-man-gang of robbers,
which specialised in attacking ware
houses and tying up security guards,
were busted after they went for
their last operation at Ogudu area of
the state.
While two members of the gang
escaped, Okweke and other two
were arrested. The two had been
identified as Gbenga and Orobo .
Orobo is a dismissed army officer
who had refused to reveal why he
was kicked out of the army.
The men were arrested by security
guards attached to a company they
went to rob and handed over to
officers at the Ogudu Police Station.
While being interrogated, Okweke
said he had been robbing with his
uniform for over five years.
