A notorious gang of 6
have been arrested after their last operation where they chopped-off the
fingers of their victim over his refusal to submit his wedding ring.
According to reports that the leader of the
notorious gang, Kunle Akerele, aka Kunle Poly, 29, revealed how him and his
dreaded gang chopped off the fingers of one of their victim in their home
Aboru, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.
Kunle Poly said that he had to cut off the
fingers of his victim when he refused to hand over his gold-plated wedding ring
to them during their robbery operation.
The suspect who was paraded alongside five of his
gang members at the Lagos State Police
command said in his words; “We were not wicked when we started but the
people made us to become wicked. Victims were always deceiving us that
they had no money at home.
Our anger was that when we knocked on
people’s doors, they would hide their expensive phones and give us the less
expensive ones. One day, my second-in-command suggested that we should start
teaching them lessons so that others would learn from them.So we bought sharp cutlasses which we began
using in severing stubborn victims’ hands. On January 13 this year, we raided
the Aboru community because we were cash-strapped.
We were surprised that each house we entered
they would bring small Nokia phones as if they planned it. We were surprised
when we entered one big man’s house who parked posh cars in front of his
compound.
We requested for phones but he gave us small
phones. We saw an expensive wedding ring on his finger. But he was
behaving as if it was too difficult for him to remove.
So Tunde said we should cut off his three
fingers and remove the ring. And we did. Immediately the wife saw what
happened, she quickly removed her own.
When we saw how the game worked out well for
us, we went back to the other victims that had given us small phones and gave
them machete cuts on their hands, fingers or wrists, and continued like that in
other houses.
Those who gave us big phones and laptops were
spared. We cut off over 20 people’s wrists that day. We did it so that the news
would spread and when we come the next time, people would bring out their money
quickly.
How could it be said that people no longer
use expensive phones? Those who dared us regretted their actions.”
This is coming after this News Platform had
reported that some operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) have apprehended and paraded 10 suspected internet fraudsters in Ibadan, the Oyo state
capital.
The anti-graft agency recovered items worth
millions of Naira from the suspects who were apprehended at several points in
the state.
