arrested an informant and an illegal arms
dealer who supplied arms and ammunition to
notorious robber czar, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka,
Godogodo, who terrorized Lagos
and other states in the South-West for 14-years.
This was as five more AK 47 rifles and 40 fully
loaded magazines have been recovered from the
one-eyed robber who killed over 50 policemen
during his reign within the region.
Sources at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS,
Ikeja, where Godogodo is being detained after his
arrest on August 1, 2013, also disclosed that the
robbery king-pin has made more startling
revelations after the arrest of his deputy Adegoke
Kasali, who was nabbed by the Police in Ogun State.
A source said, SARS operatives, led by SP Abba
Kyari, took Godogodo, before Kasali, in Ogun State
and made him confess to some of the high profile
robberies he coordinated in various parts of Lagos,
which include the black Sunday robbery of
September 9, 2011, where several bureau de
change operators were robbed of their hard earned
monies including foreign currencies, while three
policemen and several other civilians were killed in
the encounter.
The source also added that sequel to Godogodo's
confession, 31-year-old, Mohammed Kabiru, who
worked for him as an informant and 30-year-old
Lawrence Okechukwu, a notorious armed robber
and an arms dealer, were arrested.
"Kabiru is the son of a rich bureau de change
operator at the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Ikeja, and on two occasions, he gave
Godogodo information that led to the robbery of
$350,000 and $30,000 from his father, while
Okechukwu, took part in some high profile robberies
in Lagos State, including the one at Victoria Garden
City, VGC, Ajah, where two members of their gang
were killed," he said.
