Laptops were recovered from him and the police took custody of the robber. His confession led to the apprehension of Timilehin. They attested to participating in several robbery operations in Lekki and the Victoria Island area of the state.
They confessed to robbing a top business woman resident at on Ihuntayi Street in Victoria Island named Jolomi Etabuko who lost valuables worth N2.2 million to the bandits during which she was severally stabbed.
The armed robbery suspect, Daniel shares his journey to crime with the Punch Metro and he said:
“I am a labourer, but due to keeping bad friends, I have involved myself in series of robbery for one year now. Jasper, Wale (Timileyin) and I conspired to rob the complainant. It was Jasper, a domestic cleaner at a building on the street, that invited us for the robbery.“In three of our robbery operations, my share was N38,000, N28,000 and N57,000 respectively. We sold the stolen items to one man at a market on the Lagos Island. I don’t know his name but I can identify him in person. Whenever we go out for an operation, my duty is to stand outside and watch. It is true that a few months ago Wale, Yusuf (Olalekan) and I went to rob Etabuko on the Victoria Island, but it was Yusuf who stabbed the woman before we escaped.
