The operatives of the Rapid Response Squad ( RRS ) of the
Lagos Police Command , in the wee hours of today
arrested three persons for traffic robbery in Oshodi area
of Lagos , Southwest Nigeria .
The robbery suspects , Adekunle Mustapha, 21 ; Popoola
Olumide, 20 and Femi Amusa , 20 , were arrested following
the tip off from their victim , Olasunkanmi Oyelakin , who
alerted the Police that his blackberry phone was stolen by
the suspects during early morning traffic around Bolade ,
Oshodi .
The victim recounted his ordeals to the Police : “ I was on
my way to Ajah at about 6: 30 a . m , I saw Adekunle
Mustapha passed by the bus I boarded. Unknown to me ,
he was monitoring me . A few minutes later, I noticed a
missed call on my phone, and as I brought out the phone ,
Mustapha took the phone from me through the bus
window and ran away . Because there was traffic , I made
no attempt to struggle with him, but got down from the
nearest bus - stop and I began to monitor him. I noticed
that he had regrouped with his friends and one of them
was telling him to hand over the phone he stole from me .
“ I knew I couldn ’ t handle the three of them all alone , so I
informed the RRS operatives who followed me down to
the place where he was arrested ” , Oyelakin explained
The visibly distraught Mustapha said that he was driven
by frustration to steal the handset from him. “ I am a bus
conductor in Oshodi . I am from Ibadan and a secondary
school dropout . I sleep in Ojuwoye , Mushin . I am an ex –
convict . I don’ t want to go to prison again . Government
should please have mercy on me . I was frustrated into
traffic robbery. I won ’ t do it again ” , he pleaded.
Mustapha’ s accomplices , Popoola Olawale and Femi
Amusa said that although they saw Mustapha in Oshodi
regularly , they were also bus conductors and not traffic
robbers. They added that they were in Lagos to make
money to buy their working tools having completed their
apprenticeship .
In another development , RRS has recovered a locally
made gun with a cartridge in Surulere . The gun was
recovered about 2 :00 a. m . by RRS man on a regular
patrol of Iganmu Bridge by Brewery, Surulere .
The policeman had spotted three men standing in a
suspicious manner. The men on sighting the officer took
to their heels .
However , when a search was conducted on where the
men were standing , a locally made short gun was found
with an unspent cartridge .
Confirming the story , Deputy Superintendent of Police ,
DSP Joe Offor said that the three suspects had been
charged to court .
