How I stole over 10 vehicles in 5 years – Suspect

A 36-year-old robbery suspect, Dayo Jimoh, has confessed to snatching over 10 vehicles at gunpoint in Lagos and Ogun states in the last five years.

The suspect was arrested on Saturday by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Ojodu-Berger Road, Lagos after two members of his gang (at large) hijacked two vehicles at gunpoint.

He said, “We have stolen not less than 10 vehicles in the last five years. We have sold all the vehicles; apart from the last two.”

Lagos State police spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the suspect was arrested at about 2pm on Saturday, March 11, 2023, shortly after his gang snatched a 2003 Toyota Corolla with registration number, BDG-946-GZ.

Hundeyin said the suspects arrived in a 2005 Toyota Camry with registration number, KRD-958-HS, which they earlier snatched at gunpoint at Oworo while disguising as passengers.

He further said, “While investigation is ongoing, the owners of the vehicles which were recovered are hereby urged to come forward with proof of ownership to claim their vehicles.”
