Police nab Lagos airport
robbers


LAGOS—LAGOS State Police
Command’s manhunt for the
robbery gang that, three weeks
ago, raided Murtala Mohammed
Airport, Lagos, killing two
policemen and injuring several
others, has led to the arrest of
some members of the gang,
Vanguard learnt yesterday.
Information available to
Vanguard revealed that the
suspects were arrested by
operatives of the Special Anti-
Robbery Squad, SARS, Ikeja, who
took over investigations,
following a directive from the
Inspector-General of Police, Mr.
Mohammed Abubakar.
The operatives, who acted on a
tip-off, as gathered, arrested the
bandits from their respective
hideouts within Lagos.
So far, the suspects were said to
have confessed during
interrogation on how they
planned and carried out the
operation.
Vanguard gathered that the
suspects first raided the airport
in February 2012, where N700
million was carted away.
It would be recalled that a 10-
man robbery gang, armed with
sophisticated weapons, invaded
the airport on March 13, 2013 at
9am and headed for the Bureau
De Change, BDC, operators centre
near the car park, firing
indiscriminately.
During a shoot-out with a team
of policemen attached to the
airport, two policemen were
reportedly gunned down while a
member of the gang was also
killed.
The fire fight, however,
prevented the robbers from
reaching their target. Vanguard
gathered that the suspects may
be paraded today.

Goodnews. Its a job well done. Thumb up.

Arresting and parading suspect at all cost can lead to arresting innocent people, afterall, it is the same Nigeria Police that paraded a two month baby as suspect ...
