SAN FRANCISCO, May 29, (THEWILL) – The leaders of the robbery gang that struck banks in Offa in Kwara on April 5 have started making startling confessions.
The robbery led to the death of more than 30 persons, including policemen and loss of millions of Naira.
At least 22 suspected in connection with the bank robbery, including the ring leaders, are currently detained for investigations.
According to a reliable source, a dismissed Corporal in the Nigeria Police, Mr. Micheal Adikwu, lead the operation assisted by Mr. Kunle Ogunleye aka Arrow, and one Abel and others.
They have confessed to the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence and Response Team (IRT), led by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Abba Kyari.
“Adikwu was formerly working with the Kwara State Police Command, SARS unit, before he was dismissed for allowing suspected armed robbers detained, to escaped. Since then, he had been embittered and vowed to deal with policemen.
“Adikwu told IRT operatives that his killing of the policemen was not a mistake, but quite deliberate.
“Adikwu, in prison, has been threatening to the hearing of other inmates, that he will kill as many policemen as possible once he has the opportunity,” a source told NAN.
He is reported to have vowed that he would continue to kill policemen because of his dismissal from the force and sending him to prison for release robbery suspects.
Arrow is quoted to have said: “I was among the three people that entered the police station with Adikwu, but I didn’t shoot or kill anyone. It was Adikwu that shot and killed all the policemen. He went from one office to the other, killing everyone. We only gave him cover.”
