Faruk Lawal, an ex-convict who was released
from prison four months ago after spending 7 years in kirikiri has been
arrested again by men of the Lagos state Police command after he and his gang
snatched a car in the Yaba area of Lagos.
Paraded yesterday Sept. 23rd, at the state Police
headquarters in Ikeja, the state Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, said:
“Two armed robbers, named Babatunde Makinde and Faruk Lawal, were
arrested. A search conducted on the vehicle led to the recovery of one double
barrel pistol, two single barrel pistols and 28 live cartridges. The
suspects confessed to have snatched the vehicle from its owner at gunpoint in
Alade area of Yaba few hours before they were arrested and that the third gun
belongs to one Dayo, a member of their gang who narrowly escaped
arrest. Investigation is still ongoing with a view to arresting the
fleeing gang members.”
While being interrogated, Faruk expressed
sadness he was heading back to prison.
“I never wanted to go with
them. If I had listened to my instinct, I would not have been involved. It
means I am returning to prison where I spent seven years. I was released just
four months ago with a promise to turn a new leaf” he said
