The Lagos State Police
Command has arrested a 23-year-old robber, Prince Nwafor, with a visual
recording of a robbery operation that he took part in.
According to police
authorities, the suspect is part of a robbery gang that specialises in
snatching vehicles in Lagos and selling them at low prices.
The gang was also alleged to
have robbed in Ebonyi and Anambra states.
The recording, which was
captured with a camera phone, showed how Nwafor’s gang members robbed a
motorist of his car in an undisclosed location. He, however, did not appear in
the recording.
The police said it was
believed that Nwafor intended to release the incriminating video on the Internet
for allegedly cheating him every time they went for operation.
Nwafor, however, told Punch
Metro that he made the recordings so he could blackmail his colleagues with it.
