Two siblings, Ikenna Onunkwo, 28 and Chinedu Onunkwo, 23, have been arrested by detectives attached to the Lagos State Police Command for using their mother’s car to rob unsuspecting ladies on Lagos Island.
The State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, who confirmed the arrest, said the brothers dress up every morning, leaving their home as if they are going to the office.
“Nobody knew they used to go out each morning to rob. In the evening after office hours, the brothers, still using their mother’s Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), would offer to give female commuters at bus stops lift. They would later rob them of their valuables before pushing them out of the car.
“Luck ran out on the two brothers after robbing a lady on November 13, on their way from Lagos Island. The lady was able to get the registration number of the vehicle.
“She reported the incident to the Bar Beach Police Station,” Owoseni added.
The Commissioner stated that through the assistance of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, the vehicle was traced to a mechanic workshop at Surulere area of the metropolis.
“One of the suspects, Ikenna, the eldest, strongly denied that he and his brother were robbers,” Owoseni said.
