The robber was nabbed
A middle-aged man was recently thrown into a state of confusion and
disbelief when a suspected armed robber took possession of his Toyota
Corolla car and sped off with a three-year old girl inside it.
According to a report by Crime Puzzle, the victim (name withheld)
had gone to pick his daughter from school and decided to branch at the
workshop of an artisan repairing his pumping machine at Sokori area of
Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
He, was said to have parked the car ten meters away, with the engine running, while he to meet the artisan.
To his utmost bewilderment, he suddenly noticed the car move, but
had to jettison the thought as unimaginable on account that the little
girl, aside that she was on the back seat, could not be so perfect to
make the car roll.
While still ruminating on the fearful and strange development
within that short spate of time, what happened thereafter was damning to
him; the car sped off, suggesting that a devil disciple was at work.
He then raised an alarm, which attracted a horde of sympathizers,
comprising mostly motorcyclists, who chased the fleeing marauder on the
wheel and successfully caught up with him.
He was dragged out of the car, beaten to a pulp and later handed
over to men of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS), Abeokuta.
Crimepuzzle gathered that on arrival at the office of the FSARS, a
search was conducted on the 32-year old suspect, identified as Samuel
Akinwale, during which a short locally-made gun was lying in his pocket.
On interrogation, he was said to have revealed to the detectives
that he belonged to a five-man car snatching syndicate and consequently
led the operatives to their hideout.
It was further learnt that, on approaching the robbers' 'den', his
other gang members, sensing a swoop on them, opened fire on the
policemen, which shattered the side screen of their operational bus.
Their arrested gang member, Samson, was incidentally, not spared of
the violent attack. Their bullet hit him. He was thereafter rushed to a
hospital by the police team but confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.
A twist has, however, been introduced into the scenario. The
suspect's relatives have begun to threaten the complainant for being
instrumental to the arrest of their son.
