Police Sergeant Arrested For Leading Robbery Squad

A serving police sergeant serving with the Area ‘A’
Police Command, Lion Building, Campbell, Lagos
State, Joseph Okweke, has been arrested for
leading a notorious armed robbery gang » that has
been terrorising residents of the state.
It was gathered that Sergeant Okweke, who hails
from Obuluku in Delta State, used to wear his
uniform and gave out guns and ammunitions to his
gang whenever they went to rob.
He told investigators that the sight of his uniform
used to make people to lower their guards, making
it easy for him and his men to swoop on them.
The five-man- gang of robbers » , which specialised
in attacking ware houses and tying up security
guards, were busted after they went for their last
operation at Ogudu area of the state.
While two members of the gang escaped, Okweke
and other two were arrested. The two had been
identified as Gbenga and Orobo. Orobo is a
dismissed army officer who had refused to reveal
why he was kicked out of the army.
The men were arrested by security guards
attached to a company they went to rob and
handed over to officers at the Ogudu Police
Station. While being interrogated, Okweke said he
had been robbing with his uniform for over five
years.
