LEFT FOR DEAD! Fleeing armed robbers dumped injured gang member out of moving vehicle
Angry that his gang members abandoned after an operation, a 34-year-old armed robber has revealed relevant information to the Lagos State Police Command.
The suspected robber, Yusuf Nasiru, was said to be among a gang of robbers who burgled a shop on Ijebu-Ode Road, Ikorodu, Lagos, around 2 am on November 15.
According to the Police, the hoodlums arrived the scene in a Mazda bus with Lagos number plate KRD 783 XW and started breaking the shop.
Their operation was reportedly aborted midway when policemen on pin-down duty near the scene alerted the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Shagamu Road Police Station, CSP Adekunle Omisakin, who arrived the scene with a team of anti-crime policemen and engaged the robbers in a shootout.
