ARMED ROBBERS WHO KILLED NEWSWATCH EDITOR HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
The notorious
armed robbers who shot and killed the Deputy Editor of Saturday Newswatch
newspapers, Toyin Obadina on February 3rd along the Itoikin Old
Ijebu-Ode road, have been arrested eight months after they carried out the evil
act.
"Based on
the information, a team of crack detectives, led by the officer in charge of
Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Abba Kyari, swung into action and two suspected
members of the gang, Ibrahim Adeokin and Babatunde Makinde, were arrested.
Immediate search conducted on them led to the recovery of two cut-to-size
locally-made single barrelled short guns, with 12 rounds of live cartridges.
During interrogation, they confessed to belonging to a six-man robbery gang who
has been terrorising Lagos State and its environs. They also confessed to be
responsible for the killing of the owner of a Toyota Yaris car with
registration number AKD 701CE, which they snatched and later abandoned with the
corpse at Ikorodu. The victim was later discovered to be Mr. Toyin Obadina, the
Deputy Editor of SaturdayNewswatch. Their confession later led
detectives to Ikorodu area where one Festus Adeshina and Sunday Samuel
were also arrested. They mentioned Olasheun and Omo Alhaja, who are at large,
as members of their gang, while Oke and Benjamin, who they claimed were members
of the gang, were killed in a shoot-out with operatives of SARS at Mile 12
area.” he said
Adeshina Festus,
who is also one of the suspect said Mr Obadina was shot dead by their leader
because he tried to struggle his car with them.
"We were
coming from Imota, while he (Obadina) was going inward. On reaching a bad spot,
he slowed down and we blocked him with our vehicles: one in front and the other
behind. Four members of the gang came down from the vehicles. While two of them
positioned themselves to wade off intruders, Oke and Benjamin went to the man
in the car. An argument ensued between Oke and the man, and Oke shot him dead.
When one of us asked Oke why he shot the motorist, he got angry and shot the
gang member for challenging his authority. At the end of the operation, we
collected his phone, laptop and some money we saw in the car. When we got to
our hideout, Oke told us that the man struggled with him. We did not know the
man was a journalist and my job is to drive the operational vehicle.” he said
Lagos state
police commissioner, Kayode Aderanti, said said the suspects would immediately
be charged to court.
