A suspected armed
robber, Ugochukwu Nnaji, has said that he and other members of his gang decided
to rob during the Yuletide in order to celebrate the period like the rich in
the society.
Nnaji was one of the two suspects
arrested by the operatives of the Imo State Police Command. The suspects
specialised in trailing and dispossessing unsuspecting bank customers of their
money.
Speaking with Southern City News after they
were paraded by the Imo State Police Command in Owerri, Nnaji said the coming
of Christmas and New Year usually reminded them that it was time to rob bank
customers and enjoy like the rich within the period.
He pointed out that the
money they made from menial jobs was always not enough for them to live big
like wealthy people, adding that they had been in the “business” (robbing bank
customers) for a long time.
“We do it in every festive period,
especially Christmas and New Year to also celebrate the period lavishly like
others, who have made money.
“The menial jobs we do would not make us be in
line with others during the celebration,” Nnaji, who was arrested on Friday
alongside his friend, Chibueze Mgboji, told newsmen.
The duo was arrested by the police after they
allegedly attacked a new generation bank and carted away a huge sum of money.
