Daily Sun heard that the Anti-Robbery Team, led by an officer later identified as Ossair, was roaming the dark highways in search of men of the underworld when they saw some people in distress. Sensing that all was not well, the police moved in. The people turned out to be those that had recently been robbed by commercial bus robbers. The people explained that they were victims who boarded a commercial bus, unaware that the people inside were robbers. They explained that they almost jumped out of their skins in fright when the men brought out guns and ordered them to submit their valuables. Daily Sun investigations revealed that the hoodlums collected the sum of N50,000 from one Kubura Afolabi along with handsets and money from other victims, namely: Arogbabi Charles, Joseph Ugbe and Elizabeth John Ameh. It was further gathered that one of the victims told the team that if a hot chase was given, the men might likely be caught. The heroic man, also said he would be able to recognise the bus marked XH598AGL. The police went with the man. They sighted the bus and ordered it to stop but it would not. The persuers shot at the tyres. The robbers were said to have made it to the Maryland area before fading into the night, leaving their member Yaya Isiaka with a bullet wound from the police. Daily Sun heard that Isiaka claimed that four members of his gang abandoned him and their vehicle and ran into the cantonment, close to Maryland. Recovered from the robbers were four live cartridges and N500 cash. Detectives were said to be on the trail of the other robbers. Similarly, Daily Sun learnt that the team earlier got a tip off that men of the underworld were about to rob a bank in the Ladipo market area of Mushin. The team raced to the scene and saved the day. The robbers were said to have bolted when they sighted the officers. At the Pedro police station, Mr. Ossair refused to comment on the events, advising Daily Sun to meet the Divisional Police Officer(DPO). The DPO also declined comment, directing Daily Sun to the Police Public Relations Officer.         HOME | ABOUT THE SUN | SPORTS | POLITICS | NEWS | COLUMNISTS | CONTACT US I ADVERT RATE © 2004 THE SUN PUBLISHING LTD.
