The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a 40-year-old pastor in Ikere Ekiti in Ekiti State, Taiwo Afolabi, and a car robbery syndicate.
Parading the suspects at the police headquarters in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Victor Babayemi, said Afolabi and his gang were arrested on Igbaraodo- Ogotun road.
According to him, investigation by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad revealed that the gang ran a car-snatching syndicate.
Vehicles recovered from them included a green Toyota Camry marked, ET 241 AAA; a brown Toyota Camry with registration number KSF 634 AX; a Nissan Cabster with number plate, EK 973 XH, and another Nissan Cabster, marked FST 621 XM.
Babayemi added that the leaders of the group, Wasiu Sola and Abdukareem Ganiyu, were based in Ibadan and specialised in robbery and car snatching, which would be given to a dealer in Ado Ekiti to sell.
Afolabi, while responding to a question, said, “I never asked them since they have been bringing cars to me to sell, whether the cars were stolen goods or not. But the last one they brought that I could not sell on time, put me in this trouble because the engine was faulty and we could not dispose of it as quickly as possible.”
The police also arrested a 17-year old boy, Raji Babatunde, on Thursday during a robbery operation at Okesa Area of Ado-Ekiti, the capital city, at about 3.30am.
Babatunde and his gang were said to have stormed a house at Okesa Area of Ado Ekiti where they broke the door with a big stone, descended heavily on the occupants and inflicted severe machete cuts on them.
