LAGOS—Lagos
State Police Command has arrested a suspected member of a two-man
robbery gang, who specialise in drugging victims before dispossessing
them of cash and valuables.
The suspect, Ifeanyi Chizoba, confessed to have used the means on over 100 victims, including commercial sex workers and traders.
He had reportedly gone to a shop in Festac town, weekend, in the company of his gang member, one Aloysius.
He was said to have blown a powdery substance wrapped in a handkerchief into the air, which put the shop owner to sleep.
Thereafter, they reportedly made for where the safe was and looted it. But as they made to carry one of the machines in the shop, the shop owner woke up and raised alarm, which attracted residents.
Aloysius managed to escape, leaving Chizoba at the mercy of a mob that almost lynched him, but for the timely arrival of a team of policemen from Festac Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Ifeanyin Owo.
The 29-year-old Anambra State-born suspect, in this interview with Vanguard, disclosed that he had been into the act since 2012, disclosing that his main target were commercial sex workers.
He said: “My friend, Obi, introduced me to it in 2012. Then, our targets were traders at Alaba International Market.
“We would buy sachets of Actifed and Lexotan tablets, grind them together and put them inside pure water, which we produced ourselves.
“We would then board a bus going to Alaba, with the traders, from Mile Two. Then, we would call a sachet water hawker, who, unknown to the traders, are members of our gang. We would buy a sachet and give the hawker N20, who would say he has no N10 to balance us.
“We would offer the trader beside us a sachet to make up for our balance. After drinking the water, the trader would fall asleep. We would then alight at Agboju bus-stop and carry the trader’s goods, pretending to be the real owners.”
