The Lagos State Police Command has arrested the robbers who attacked Mr. Wilson Onazi, father of Super Eagles’ player, Paul Onazi, at his Jos, Plateau State, home, Monday, carting away his Toyota Highlander SUV and other valuables.
Members of the five-man robbery gang were arrested while at the verge of selling off the SUV at a hotel in Imoda, Ajagbandi area of Lagos, by Anti-Crime Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer in Charge of Ajagbandi Division, Mr. Musa Alimi.
Four men, pretending to be postmen, stormed Onazi’s building on 57A, Government Reserved Area, GRA, Utan, Jos, where they handed him a fake letter.
During preliminary investigation, the alleged mastermind of the robbery attack was discovered to be a family friend of the Onazis. He was identified as Kingsley David, a graduate of Psychology from the University of Jos. Two other suspects were also graduates of different higher institutions, while the rest were businessmen in Plateau and Lagos states.
“We went there to get money and not the car because we were told that he lived alone, and neither assist anyone nor like people coming close to him. He is also stingy.”
Parading the suspects before journalists, Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Fatai Owoseni, said four of the suspects were involved in the operation, while two others were accomplices who intended to buy the stolen SUV with number plates GMU 300 AA. He said the arrested suspects would be handed over to the Plateau State Police Command alongside the exhibits to conclude investigation and subse-quently charge them to court.
