A
wanted robbery suspect, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Abbey Godogodo, who
was said to have been terrorising the South-West for some time, has been
arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
According
to police authorities, the suspect led the gang that killed seven people,
including the owner of 04 Hotel, Ajah, Lagos, Olanrewaju Subair, on July 7,
2013.
They
also killed two other security guards at a popular hotel along Apapa Road,
Ebute Meta area of the state on the same day.
The
suspect, who was paraded on Thursday, said he has killed many policemen, adding
that he had been into robbery for over 10 years and had built houses.
Ogunjobi
said, “I started robbery in 1996 but in 1999, I was charged for fighting. I
spent about seven years in prison. My prolonged stay in prison for minor crime
of fighting hardened me and I vowed to pay back the police for that injustice.
After I was released, I went to Katangowa in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos to meet
my friend, Odun.
“Odun
was an armed robber, so, we started operating together. We worked with several gangs and I invested lots of my money in arms buying. I also built five houses
in Ifo, Ilaro, Ikorodu and Ibadan. I usually kill policemen and take their
rifles because policemen have killed several of my boys and taken most of my
rifles from them.
