only an axe to commit robbery
The police in Lagos have arrested a robbery
suspect who is believed to operate around
the Mushin axis of the state.
Olalekan Ajibola was reportedly caught trying to
break into a home in the area with an axe. He was
arrested after residents raised an alarm and called
the police.
Ajibola allegedly confessed to the police that an
axe is his only weapon of choice.
He said:
"I learnt to rob while in Oyingbo. When I go out
for operations, I carry my axe. I have operated
with it on five different occasions. When I enter
houses, I ask people for money, phones and
other valuables. If they resist, I will hack them
with the axe. I use the axe for cutting victims
who resist."
"I was brought up in a hard way. That is why I
also don't dress well. I rob in order to survive. I
eat at any restaurant I find myself. I sneak in
and out of them to have my meals.
The suspect also said that he was forced into a life
of crime after his mother became mentally ill and
his father abandoned him
