The Men Who Snatched Pasuma's Range Rover SUV At Gun Point Nabbed By Police

* The suspects identified as Fatai Balogun, Wale
Akinjobi and Gbenga Kolawole during
interrogation, confessed to have come all the way
from Ogun state to operate.
A source, who craved anonymity told Crime Alert
that the police launched a manhunt for the gang
after Pasuma’s encounter, during which they
were intercepted.
The gang, as gathered, also attacked a wealthy
man in Iju Ishaga area of Lagos, where they
robbed him of N500,000, his mobile phones and
other valuables. After the operation, one of them,
Wale who resides around the area reportedly dug
a hole at the back of his compound where he
buried his weapon.
But unknown to him, a resident said to have
sighted him, alerted the police who quickly
arrested him and transferred him to the
SARS.During interrogation, Wale reportedly
confessed that his gang robbed Pasuma of his
Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle, SUV, and an
unspecified amount of money, four months ago in
Lagos. His confessional statement, as gathered,
led to the arrest of other suspected members.
Fatai Balogun, told Crime Alert that leader of the
gang, Ade, got the highest share from Pasuma’s
loot.
“He was the one who searched Pasuma and
collected money from him. But nobody knew the
amount he got. Few days later, he bought a
Toyota Camry car with the loot but gave us
peanuts. I have gone on several operations with
Ade. One of them was at Ajah area where we
snatched a car at gun point along Epe road.
We did that operation with Ade’s car but we had a
little problem on the road after Ade ran into a
ditch. We had to abandon the car when
policemen came looking for us but Ade later sent
a towing vehicle to retrieve the car.
Wale brought the job that landed me in trouble.
He told me there was a rich man who lives in his
area, that he would want me to follow him
execute the job because he does not have the
expertise to do it. I accepted because the job was
an easy one, as there won’t be much huddles
getting inside. We were three in number that went
for the operation.
I took N120,000 and gave Wale and Gbenga their
share. I sold the laptops we took from the man for
N40,000 each and at the end, I relocated to my
base in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I don’t know how
Wale mishandled the gun he used for the
operation, which led to his being sighted by one of
his neighbors,”he stated.
