These Robbers Steal Cars By Causing Accidents To the cars Of their Victims

While the society benefits from the brilliance of certain people, the society suffers from the brilliance of the above men who steals cars easily by causing minor accidents to their intending victims car. Sunday Ozor,one of the member of the gang said the gang’s mode of operation was to cause a minor accident so that the proposed victim would stop.

The 39-year-old from Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State added that when their victim came down to inspect the extent of damage, the gang member would swoop on him and snatch the vehicle.

The police said they also recovered eight vehicles, which included a Toyota Highlander, a Lexus, and a Toyota Corolla, allegedly snatched by the gang in different areas of Lagos.

It was learnt that Uzor, said to be the gang leader, was apprehended by SARS on Saturday, May 2, in Onitsha, Anambra State, while trying to sell one of the stolen vehicles.

He was said to have led the operatives to arrest the other gang members.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, Uzor, who is married with two children, denied being the gang leader.

He said,

“Sometime in April, we went to the Igando area at about 7.30pm for an operation and we saw a lady driving a flashy car. We hit her car from behind and when she came down, our gang leader, Danjuma Sule, pointed a gun at her.
“Another gang member entered her car and drove off. We also took her away from the scene and dropped her on the Obadore Bridge. The vehicle was taken to Onitsha for sale, but the police have recovered it.”

Chukwu, who hails from Umunze, Anambra State, said he had sold six stolen cars for the gang.

He said,

“I am based in Onitsha, and I sell the cars for the gang. There was a car they brought to me, I sold it for N700,000 and gave the gang N500,000. I have received about six cars from them. I knew they were snatching them, but I was in a financial mess. I did not have any option.”

Four people were killed yesterday after a gang of armed robbers invaded the branch of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) at Plot B, Waterfront Plaza, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos state.

According to a witness, the four people were three police escorts of a passing civilian Coaster bus and a fish seller. The robbers, numbering at least 12, had arrived a few minutes before 5pm via a boat, and immediately began firing gunshots into the air in an operation that lasted exactly 25 minutes.

“It was a well-coordinated attack,” the witness told CableNG. “The robbers arrived in military camouflage and immediately distributed themselves, three of them manning each of the four exits of the bank. As I am talking to you now, the bodies of the three policemen that were killed are still on the ground.”
He added that after forcing their way into the banking hall, the robbers immediately announced their
intention, and everyone cooperated with them.

“Nobody was killed inside the bank because once they announced that they were robbers, everyone, including bank staff, cooperated. So it was a successful operation for them, because they made away with a lot of money. They even hacked into the ATMs and carted away the money stuffed there.”

You NEVER want to experience a bank robbery, guys!!!!! I'm practically shaking all over again. May the souls of the dead rest in perfect peace. See more photos below....
