There was a mild drama at the office of the Lagos State Police Commissioner in Ikeja on Friday as three suspects, who were arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, were paraded before the House Committee on Police Affairs.The suspects, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Godogodo; Felix Sunday, aka K Money; and Nwanyim Uche; pleaded for amnesty.Godogodo had been described by the police as the most wanted criminal in the South West for the past 10 years.He told the lawmakers that he had built six houses from his loot and never kept money in the bank in order not to be traced by security agents.He said:"I never drank, womanised or attended social events. Such vices made one vulnerable and made it easy for the police to find and arrest you. I had no friends. I never kept money; I used all of it to build the houses.""We don't kill policemen except on one occasion when we went to rob in Ajah area of Lagos State. On that particular day, we had ended the robbery operation and were on our way back when my friend, Odun spotted a police patrol van. Odun opened fire and killed all of them because he needed their AK 47 rifles.""The unfortunate thing about crime is that you never have peace of mind. The police were always after me and I never lived in one particular house for more than a year. I regret my action now and I would be happy if I am given amnesty."The other robbery suspect, K Money, who was among the robbers that attacked bureau de change operators, said the gang made $4m (N600m) in the operation. He said he got N45m and became a car dealer."I set up a showroom and registered my company. I bought many Tokunbo (foreign used vehicles) from Cotonou (Benin Republic) and started selling them," he said."When policemen started chasing me and my boys, I was completely disorganised and the business suffered.I plead for mercy sir."
