A deadly armed robber who robbed a man for over six hours with his gang members while drinking and eating in the house has confessed.
Police in Lagos have paraded a robbery and murder Akin Ayotunde, yesterday whose two-man gang killed their victim when they attacked his home in Igbogbo, Ikorodu.
The Nation reports that Ayotunde and his gang were said to have on July 22, hit the victim’s head on the table and killed him. The gang allegedly ransacked the victim’s home and carted away valuables, including a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). The suspect narrated how they executed the deadly act.
“We spent over six hours at the house. We ate apple and drank juice. The woman did not cook for us. She was locked inside the room and we locked her children in another room. It was only the man we kept lying face down in the parlour.
“We took the things from the fridge and ate. Paul was the one who took me there. We usually share information and so, he was the one who brought this information. It was on July 22 that Paul told me about the robbery. I was interested because I have no money and needed to survive. It was my third robbery operation.
“We bought a knife…all those Fulani knives. I asked him about gun and he said he didn’t have gun that we should use knife. We went there around 9pm but we didn’t enter until about 10pm. The area is around Igbogbo, Ikorodu.
“The man came out and went to his jeep before we accosted him. We scared him and told him to corporate. He was acting like someone with heart attack but we didn’t beat him. We took him inside and told him to lie down. His wife was already lying down and his kids too.
“They were very obedient and so, nobody touched them. We asked the man how much he had and he said all the money he has was in his pocket. It was not up to N20, 000. We took the money and then went to his wife in the room and asked her to bring what she has.
“The woman brought out her jewelry. She told us they weren’t gold but that they can still be sold and we would generate money. So, we collected their clothes, plasma TV and other things and parked them inside the man’s SUV. We collected his ATM card too.
“While we were busy ransacking the house, I noticed the man was breathing somehow. I thought he was sleeping and snoring and so, we didn’t disturb him. It was around 3am, when we were planning to go that I tapped him so he can go inside and then, I noticed he was stiff and cold. I put my ear on his body and he was not breathing. I noticed changes on him and we realised he was dead.
“We took the things we stole and left the place. We felt bad that he died but we had to carry the things since we needed money.” he said
