The five-man-gang of robbers
that specialised in attacking ware houses were busted after they went for their
last operation at Ogudu area of the state.
While two members of the gang escaped, a police sergeant, Joseph Okweke, serving with ‘A’ Police Command, Lion Building, Campbell, Lagos State, and other two were arrested. The two had been identified as Gbenga and Orobo. Orobo is a dismissed army officer who had refused to reveal why he was kicked out of the army.

It was gathered that Sergeant Okweke, who
hails from Obuluku in Delta State, used to wear his uniform and gave out guns
and ammunition to his gang whenever they went to rob.
The men were arrested
by security guards attached to a company they went to rob and handed over to
officers at the Ogudu Police Station. While being interrogated, Okweke said he
had been robbing with his uniform for over five year and that the sight of his
uniform used to make people to lower their guards, making it easy for him and
his men to swoop on them.
NB: Come to think of
it, how much is the minimum salary of Nigerian police officer? Police service commission need to look in the
welfare of ranks and files .
