Police headquarters in Ikeja yesterday Sept. 23rd, the state
Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, said the young
men where arrested after a distress call was put across to
them of a car theft incident at the Yaba axis of Lagos
“Two armed robbers, named Babatunde Makinde and Faruk
Lawal, were arrested. A search conducted on the vehicle led to
the recovery of one double barrel pistol, two single barrel pistols
and 28 live cartridges. The suspects confessed to have snatched
the vehicle from its owner at gunpoint in Alade area of Yaba few

to one Dayo, a member of their gang who narrowly escaped
arrest. Investigation is still ongoing with a view to arresting the
fleeing gang members.”

heading back to prison.
“I never wanted to go with them. If I had listened to my instinct,
I would not have been involved. It means I am returning to
prison where I spent seven years. I was released just four
months ago with a promise to turn a new leaf” he
