I Rob Anytime I am Broke - Robbery Suspect

A 22-year-old robbery suspect, Seun Adewale, has confessed that he returns to robbery anytime he was broke. Segun, who was once sent to prison by a magistrates’ court in Lagos State, said his experience in prison had not stopped him from robbery.


The suspect was arrested by operatives of the Special Anti Robbery Squad of the Lagos State police command during a foiled robbery attack on LASU-Iyana Iba Road.

Segun, who had relocated to Mowe in Ogun State after he was released from prison, said he only returned to Lagos to rob whenever he was broke. He also claimed to have made up his mind not to rob again, until Sigo took him out for a robbery operation.

"I was in prison for two months and when I came out, I did not want to rob again. It was not because of my experience in prison, but I only decided not to rob again. I was arrested for a robbery at Ijanikin in 2014. I was in Kirikiri Prison for two months.

"I begged Sigo for money and he told me to follow him somewhere. I did not know where we were going until we robbed some commercial motorcyclists. He gave me N10,000 and I returned to Mowe but, when I was broke, I called him again and he said we should go and rob again. That was when I was arrested. He, however, escaped," the suspect narrated.
