The Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Lagos State Command, on Tuesday, paraded a suspect, Junior Erhunmwuse, over a robbery incident.

The NSCDC Lagos Commandant, Paul Ayeni, said the suspect was apprehended by the command’s corps on March 6 at 10 p.m. along Ajah Road, Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

The Commandant said the 23-year-old suspect, who hails from Benin City and two others, now at large, perpetrated the act.

“The suspect and two others nicknamed, Fela and Igba boarded a mini-bus ‘Korope’ also occupied by other three passengers and a driver.

“On reaching a dark sport, the suspects threatened the driver and the passengers with a gun and collected their money and other items like android phones, wristwatches and boxer pants,” he said.

According to the NSCDC boss, luck ran out on the suspect when one of the victims, Sefiu Sodiq, identified his stolen boxer shorts and alerted the people at Alpha Beach Area in Eti-Osa.

“This led to the arrest of Baale Arimo by NSCDC officers in Eti-Osa Divisional Command. Mr. Arimo could not give a coherent response to the allegations.

“Further investigation led to the arrest of one Afolabi David, 22 years old and native of Onijo in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

“David was not part of the operation, but he is a member of the group as he was together with one of the suspects when arrested,” he said.

The android phones, some of the money stolen, wristwatches, and boxer shorts were recovered, as the command increased surveillance in the area.

“The two suspects will be handed over to Police Criminal Investigation Bureau for further actions,” he said.

While responding to the allegations, David stated that none of the suspects was his friend.
