Female UNILAG Law School Graduate Arrested For Armed Robbery In Lagos

A seven-man robbery gang led by a woman, Chioma Ezekwesiri, has been smashed by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Lagos, southwest Nigeria. The robbery suspects were arrested while attempting to rob Bolatito Hotel, Kola Bus Stop, Ijaiye, Lagos. In chat with P.M.NEWS, Chioma said she arranged for the guns with Raymond Chukwuka, a.k.a. Stubborn, they were to use for the operation, which she claimed was a land matter, whereas the police said that their mission was allegedly to rob a male customer of the hotel, who sells fertilizer, of about N8 million. Other suspected members of the gang are: Amadi Igwe, 41, Raymond Chukwuka, 24, Ignatius Okeredi, 27, Michael Madu, 52, and Okechukwu Jerome, 28, and a yet-to-be identified member who is at large.

The alleged robbery operation, according to the police, was foiled by some staff of the hotel, who promptly made a distress call to SARS operatives. The law enforcement agents were said to have surrounded the hotel, and later searched all its occupants. It was in the process that two locally made guns and 12 live ammunition were recovered from the robbery suspects. “We received a distress call from a staff of Bolatito Hotel, who said they suspected some people around the hotel. The Special Anti-Robbery Squad moved in, surrounded the place and demanded to search everybody.

It was in the process that two guns and 12 live ammunition were recovered in Chioma’s car. This led to the arrest of all her gang members,” a top police source told P.M.NEWS. Following their arrest and conclusion of investigation, the police took them to court. Chioma, 35, who claimed to be a Law graduate from the University of Lagos, was remanded in prison custody along with six other members of her gang by Magistrate A.O. Komolafe of the Magistrates’ Court, Ikeja. They are facing a three count charge of robbery, conspiracy and unlawful possession of firearms.

Chioma claimed that she graduated from UNILAG in 1999, was called to the bar in 2000, and owns a Non-Governmental Organisation, Youth of All Nations Empowerment Association. But authorities of the University of Lagos said she did graduate from that institution. An officer of the school, who craved anonymity, said Chioma cannot claim to be an alumnus of the university if she cannot provide her matriculation number. “The fact that she claimed to have gone to Law School with the first batch is not substantial enough. UNILAG usually sends graduating students at a stretch, not in batches. My position on the issue is that she did not graduate from UNILAG, and so she was not our student,” the officer said. Chioma’s claim of being called to the Bar was also debunked by Barrister Tunji Busari of Cognate Solicitors, who explained that “we have a directory for all lawyers. We have all their names with the year they were called to bar, with their NBA registration numbers. When I checked through her name in the directory, I could not find her name in my record book.” When our reporter called Mr. J.E. Joshua, the chairman of Youth of All Nations Empowerment Association, he denied that Chioma is the founder of the association. “She just participated in a charity work which the association embarked on in April, and promised to participate fully in other projects of the NGO. But we decided to stop working with her when we realised that she wasn’t a straight forward person. She is not working with us,” Joshua stated. —Dedeigbo Ayodeji & Sulaimon Mojeed-Sunni

Every1 denying her cos she stole, if she had won Guinness book of record, FG will even claim her!

I doubt she graduated from law school. She indulged in this act because of desperation/frustration, and if she indeed graduated, she wouldn't do such.

Self employed sharp babe.

Louis007: Every1 denying her cos she stole, if she had won Guinness book of record, FG will even claim her! Well, End time tinz!

I think she actually lied. Did you read the part where the school claimed she couldn't provide her matriculation number? I can never forget my matric number. She said those lies in order to arouse sympathy.

--------------------------

Looking at the picture closely, you'd notice the girl is still wearing her hair-net!

Why would a robber be putting on hiar-net??

Maybe its just me but this whole gist don't really add up.

About 6 people with only one locally made gun??... The rest weren't even with knives or something!!.... This story get serious serious K leg!!

I doubt this robbery story; The Police is always searching for culprits to label as robbers to prove that they are working.

I will rather go with a report that they used the arms to intimidate people over land matters. But their own don be, cos there is no efficient office of the public defender.

Fullstop.
