South Africa Returnee Nabbed In Lagos Robbery

A returnee from the Xenophobia attacks in South Africa has been apprehended by the police in Lagos after being apprehended in a robbery attack.

Victor Remi, 27 and Ekeh Maxwell were apprehended after they robbed a computer merchant of three Apple laptops valued at N1.5 million at gun point.

They were apprehended by the Rapid Response Squad, RRS.

They robbed the computer dealer of his goods at gun point when he brought the goods to them as directed by Remi who had posed as a buyer.

Remi, the South Africa returnee, said:

“I told the dealer I was the Managing Director of a new company on Acme Road, Ikeja. I also told him that my daughter recommended him  and that his laptops were good.  I ordered one for myself and another for my secretary and told him to bring them.

“It took us a week to initiate, perfect  and and execute the plan.  My colleague, Maxwell , borrowed his brother’s Camry car (FKJ 833 EZ) for the deed. We bought a toy gun and painted it. I told the dealer to meet me at Acme Crescent because we knew the location was a desolate area”.

“While Maxwell drove, I sent the dealer a message on whatsap to bring the consignment to my office, last Monday.  I told him that my driver would pick him up at Acme Crescent.

“Maxwell picked him at the designated point, while I joined then  few meters from where he entered. He (dealer) sat  in front with the laptops. Immediately I entered, I  placed the gun on his neck and ordered him to surrender them. We wanted to take his phone too but he pleaded not to be stripped of everything. We told him to alight from the car and we zoomed off”.

Remi it was gathered also deceived his accomplice by telling him that the dealer brought only two laptops instead of the three that he received.

The laptop dealer who did not want to reveal his identity said:

“We were communicating  on WhatsApp. I never had an inkling that they were robbers. They used a gun and knife to dispossess me of the laptops. The three laptops are worth N1.5 million”.

The stolen laptops it was gathered have since been retrieved from the buyers.
