Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / I SHOT POLICE BOSS TO TEST MY GUN- ROBBERY SUSPECT |
on: 22-10-2012 09:00 PM
| What on earth could have given a man the impetus to test a gun on a Divisional Police Officer, leading to the officer's incapacitation? OLUWATOYIN MALIK reports the escapades and confession of Mutairu Were, a member of a dreaded robbery gang.
THE Osun State Police Command recently recorded a victory when it arrested an armed robber whose gang's notoriety had depleted the number of policemen in the state. Not ony that, a service pistol belonging to a Divisional Police Officer, who was attacked by the gang and four AK 47 rifles collected at different times from policemen who were fatally shot, were also recovered.
The suspect, whose name is Mutairu Were, but who also bears Yekini Olanrewaju, was reportedly arrested after a robbery operation his gang carried out in a petrol station in Akure, Ondo State. They had shot at a police team trailing them, killing one Inspector and injuring three policemen. Were, who reportedly belonged to different robbery gangs, allegedly invaded the residence of a Divisional Police Officer in Osogbo on July 8 at about 12.25a.m. and collected his service pistol and AK 47 rifle, after which they shot him in the thigh and the abdomen. The police officer was still in the hospital as of the time of writing this report.
Same night at about 1.30 a.m., the gang also attacked the residence of one Tope Bolarinwa at Alekuwodo area of Osogbo. After collecting his valuables, the hoodlums allegedly shot Bolarinwa in the head, killing him instantly. The gang thereafter proceeded to Sarah Hotel at Ogo-Oluwas area, Osogbo, and dispossessed the lodgers of their valuables.
On July 22, the armed gang was on the rampage again as it stormed White Plain Suite Hotel at Ogo Oluwa area. During the attack, two policemen guarding the hotel were dispossessed of their AK 47 rifles. The gang also killed one Assistant Superintendent of Police and took away his AK 47 rifle as the criminals were escaping after raiding a bureau-de-change some months ago.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer in Osun State, Mrs Sade Odoro, Mutairu Were and his gang had become a thorn in the flesh of the police in Osun State and his arrest had brought a sigh of relief to all the policemen. She added that four AK 47 rifles and a service pistol were recovered from the gang by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in the state.
She reiterated that the Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mrs Kalafite Adeyemi, would not relent in her efforts to rid the state of undesirable elements and make the "ember" months free for the residents. In order to achieve this, the PPRO said that the police commissioner had inaugurated a Police Religious Leaders' Peace Forum and had also directed all Divisional Police Officers to ensure people-friendly policing to ensure water-tight security in their jurisdictions. tribune.com.ng/sun/features/8893-i-shot-dpo-to-test-gun tribune.com.ng/sun/features/8893-i-shot-dpo-to-test-gun | | |

| TO THE POSTER!! I think you are very abusive and lack respect for individual by calling Nigerians in the US brainless because they didn't know anything about Nigeria, 40% Americans living in the US doesn't know nothing about their country except to eat and work and that doesn't make them brainless to you, right? Why should a Nigerian abroad care about knowing anything about Nigeria! Give me one good reason!!!! I think you are the brainless one here my friend!!
There will always be excuse for failures, maybe you should be praised for not been able to pronounce your father's African name correctly as is the case with most of you here. Maryclaret, thank u sister for educating them. | | |

| Leadership goes with responsibilities, that's what it is worldwide & this Governor is actually showing his other colleagues what governance is about. For our nation to move forward, we should put aside tribalism, bigotry, greed, born to rule, quarter system etc & allow people like this with foresight & human feeling to lead the nation. | | | |
