They were arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) last Monday, in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos.
The police in Lagos alleged that they are suspected members
of a notorious seven-man robbery gang that have been terrorizing and unleashing mayhem on residents of Iyana-Ipaja,
Dopemu and other areas of the state, including neighbouring Sango-Ota in Ogun
state.
Their method of operation, according to police sources, included,
carrying out a house-to-house raid and subjecting their victims to severe
beatings at the end of which they were dispossessed of cash and other
valuables.
The suspects in an interview with Crime Guard disclosed that their
victims’ financial status were usually judged by the interior décor of their
apartments, adding that any of them who out of sheer stubbornness refused to
release cash befitting of the gang’s estimation of them, risked being killed.
