Poverty! Police Arrests Lawyer and His Gang For Armed Robbery


A lawyer who abandoned his practice to lead a deadly armed robbery gang met his doom recently when his gang was busted by men of the Nigeria Police Force, Oyo State command.

The lawyer, Babatunde Oretuyi was paraded with 11 other dare-devil armed robbers, who specialises in robbing their victims of exotic cars and other valuables like expensive phones, laptops.

The State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Indabawa, while parading the suspects, said the arrest of Babatunde and his gang followed their incrimination in the latest car snatching operation in Ogbomoso and other towns in some neighbouring states.

CP Indabawa said thorough investigation by men of the State Anti Robbery Squad specifically incriminated the lawyer as the main conduit for the disposal of the vehicles snatched by the deadly gang.

According to him, as at the last count, 11 of the recovered stolen cars were traced to Babatunde, who sold them to others who claimed to be car dealers.

Paraded alongside Babatunde are; Olabode Seun, 27; Oyeyipo Ayomide, 26; Olanrewaju Ayomide, 23; Olatide Oladapo, 37; Abiodun Abdul- Malik Ojulari, 32 and Afolabi Akeem, 30. The others are; Isaac Nwose, 42; Segun Adeyale, 39; William Asu Atta, 47; Patrick Ogah, 35 and David Umar, 39.

The police boss said on investigation, members of the syndicate who often killed anyone who resists them, said their confessions led to the arrest of the entire syndicate members.
