A suspected armed robber, Sunday Onu, has said that he thanked God over his arrest, as he had tried several times to quit armed robbery but failed.
The suspect who hailed from Benue state claimed that he joined the armed robbery gang a week after his traditional wedding.
He noted that his arrest was divinely arranged as he had severally attempted to quit the evil act but could not.
Onu who is now 34 year old, revealed that his four man armed robbery gang always disguised as NEPA officials in their overalls, knock at the gate of their victims for engineering services only to hold the house hostage at gun point and rob them.
The suspect who claimed to be the driver of the armed robbery gang disclosed that his own share at the end of every operation ranges between N450,000 to 500,000 depending on how much the group made during the operation.
“I joined the gang after my traditional wedding in 2013 and since then we have been working together and each time I wanted to quit something tends to stop me.
“I was the driver of the gang and also use my own car to carry them to any place they want to go for operation, but I don’t follow them for the operation. My duty was to drop them and go out of the operation zone to wait and after operation they called me and I quickly rushed to take them away.
“During the first operation I received the sum of N450,000, I am aware the use guns but we don’t kill,” he explained.
However, luck ran out of him after a resident of one of their victims sent a distress call to the police which swiftly responded and rounded him and one other suspect up while their leaders escaped
