He also brought Nwankpa to join us. </b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>"Our mode of operation is to use toy guns to rob motorists and passengers. All of us had toy guns </b><br> <b>and cutlasses. But on that Thursday, we went to the Ikotun Roundabout and entered a tricycle with the purpose of robbing it. At a point, we pointed our guns to the driver, and he melted. </b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>"But when he suspected we had toy guns, he gave out a shout, and some vigilance members got after us immediately. They gave us a chase, pursuing us into the hands of the police." – said </b><br> <b>Okeke Christian. </b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>"My role during the operation is to search the commercial bus, tricycle and abandoned bags for </b><br> <b>money, handsets and other valuables. Before I joined the gang, I used to sell ladies' wares in Ikotun. It was Paul (Igwe) who brought me into the gang. Now, I regret taking that decision."- said Akazue</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b>"My alias is wiper. I am the gang leader. I brought the idea of robbing motorists, passengers and snatching tricycles. I met my gang members at our hemp smoking joint. One man named </b><br> <b>Roughman is the receiver of our snatched tricycles. He bought each from for us at N50,000." – said the gang leader, Paul Igwe.</b></p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BClPG2J3EeA/VJ1z16FAgXI/AAAAAAAAAX8/96BiiQJljQ0/s1600/%2525253D%2525253Futf-8%2525253FB%2525253FdG95X2NvbHRfc2FhLmpwZw%2525253D%2525253D%2525253F%2525253D-748785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BClPG2J3EeA/VJ1z16FAgXI/AAAAAAAAAX8/96BiiQJljQ0/s640/%2525253D%2525253Futf-8%2525253FB%2525253FdG95X2NvbHRfc2FhLmpwZw%2525253D%2525253D%2525253F%2525253D-748785.jpg"> </a> </div>
