31-year-old Kabiru Mohammed has confessed and opened up on how he hired a seven-man robbery gang to steal $383,000 (N61,280,000) from his own father in Lagos. Read his confession below...
"My father is a bureau de change operator at the airport. I am the one who arranged a seven-man armed robbery gang led by Godogodo to rob my older brother, Ibrahim who was carrying my father's money amounting to $383,000."
"I told the gang that my father had dollars."
"The first operation was when Ibrahim wanted to convey money from local airport to international airport, I called Godogodo and gave him the car plate number and the colour of the car. I told them not to kill my brother, but to shoot into the air. I knew my brother would release the money because my father told us not to drag money with armed robbers. They collected $350,000 and gave me only two bundles which is $20,000."
"In the second operation they stopped my brother in front of Air Force Bus Stop and collected $33,000 and they gave me $8,000."
The suspect, who is now in SARS custody, also confessed to be part of the deadly Godogodo gang.
"I am a member of the robbery gang. My role is to find targets and also information which I give to the gang. That is why they call me 'Target man'."
Another suspect, Okechukwu Lawrence, who was arrested alongside Mohammed, confessed that he was the one handling the weapons for the gang.
The indigene of Imo State said: "My work is to keep ammunition for the gang after collecting AK47 rifles from the policemen the gang shot dead. I joined the gang to get enough money to boost my spare parts business in Ladipo market."
The dangerous Godogodo has also owned up to the crime.
