The suspect, Bartholomew Ofor, 32, and three others, were alleged to have successfully opened the door of a car and removed the sum of N1 million before he was apprehended.

Luck ran out on him, after police operatives suspected him and three others simply identified as Sam, Matthew and Sunny and tried to arrest them. Ofor was apprehended, while his accomplices managed to escape.

Daily Sun gathered that Ofor, a native of Cross Rivers State, was the one who actually opened the door of the car and removed the money.

“Two of us went to the Oceanic Bank premises to steal valuable items inside customers’ vehicles. Policemen pursued us before they apprehended me. We usually operated at Apapa, Victoria Island and Ikeja. We used master keys to open car doors,” he said.

Police told Daily Sun that they were still on the trail of the fleeing members of the gang.

How did the others escape?
Those policemen were incompetent,

You should thank your stars they caught one at least.

The others that escaped will continue stealing cars
