SHE IS A QUEENPIN! 40-year-old woman who sponsors armed robbers arrested with her gang
The Lagos state police have arrested some armed robbers who operate using a tricycle, popularly known as “Keke Marwa”.
Parading the suspects on Monday, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Edgal Imohimi said,
“There were two sets of robbers on parade today. The first set whose names are listed below, use a tricycle pretending to be genuine transporters. When people board the suspect’s Keke Marwa they take them to an isolated place and rob them of valuable items.
He gave their names as Monsuru Tiamiyu, male, 21-year-old, Jamiu Hammed, male, 20-year-old and Queen Victor, female, 40-year-old.”
According to him, the suspects usually operate along Ebute-Ero, Lagos Island and Apapa axis.
Imohimi said exhibits recovered from the suspects include one tricycle with Reg No. BDG 318 AE, one Huawei android phone and one Itel android phone.
Confessing to the crime, Monsuru and Jamiu, said that the tricycle was given out to one of their friends on hire purchase, but they decided to use it for robbery operations because they believed it will earn them more money.
They said that they have used it to rob passengers on several occasions particularly at the boundary axis of Ajegunle.
According to multiple media reports, the female member, Queen Victor, does not go with them during operations but sponsors them regularly.
