Police Arrest 4 Suspects Of Ikorodu Bank Robbery

Four members of the robbery gang that raided
two banks in Ikorodu, Lagos State, on 24 June,
have been arrested, the police claimed.
The gang had robbed First Bank and Zenith Bank
at Ogolonto and carted away huge sums of
money.
The police in Lagos in the aftermath of the public
outrage triggered by the robbery and the manner
of escape via the Ikorodu lagoon,, offered a N5
million reward for information.
But no sooner after the robbery, one of the
suspects ran into a military checkpoint on the
Sagamu-Benin expressway. He was on his way
to Okitikpupa. But after the soldiers found in his
bag bundles of crisp naira notes, still wrapped in
CBN nylon, he was promptly arrested..
The soldiers alerted the Lagos command on the
development.
The Lagos Command under Kayode Aderanti
raced to pick the suspect.
Further interrogation led to the arrest of three
other members of the gang.
There is certainly more work to be done as
witnesses had said the gang members were
about 12, led by a young woman, with an
estimated age of 20.
