Oyo State Police Command arrested a suspected
member of a robbery gang on his wedding day.
Olumide Asiyanbi, 42, told newsmen that nemesis
caught up with him when he was at the registry to
sign the dotted lines.
The police alleged he was a member of a six-man-
robbery gang who had terrorised residents of
Challenge area of Ibadan, the state capital.
The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammed
Katsina, said the suspects included a 62-year-old
Ghanaian.
Asiyanbi confessed that he had been involved in 10
different robbery attacks before he was arrested.
He said, “I was arrested on my wedding day. I met
the gang leader, James Agba, last year. He told me
he knew how we could be getting regular money. He
then initiated me into the gang. I have taken part in
at least 10 operations since I joined them.
“We used gun but I don’t know where James was
buying them. Sulaimon and Alhaji, who are also in
the gang, knew how the guns were bought for our
operations. I have fired shots at our targets but
nobody was killed.”
