Kwara State Pastor Jailed For Snatching Cars At Gunpoint

A district pastor of a Church in Ilorin, Kwara State capital has been arrested and remanded by a Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos state.

37-year-old Adebambo Adetunji, has been accused of being one of the gang members, who robbed motorists at the Ojota Bus stop, between April and July, 2014.

The Punch reports that Pastor Adetunji and his gang members who are currently on the run were known for snatching cars and robbing victims of their valuables at gun point.

It was gathered that the accused was arrested after one of their victims reported the matter to the police.

A Toyota Camry and a Mercedes Benz ML320 with number plates MUS 413 BH and LND 623 BF respectively, were diverted by the suspected robbers, who were said to have also used cutlasses in their operations.

While the Mercedes Benz car was said to be the property of one Boniface Joseph, who was robbed around 10.30pm on April 30, at the bus stop, one Oluwatoyin Badmus, was reportedly robbed of her Toyota Camry around 6p.m. on July 6 at the same spot.

The police alleged that Joseph also lost two phones and an IPad to the robbers, adding that valuables lost by the duo were worth N4.5m.

It was learnt that Adetunji was arrested by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad led by SP Abba Kyari after Badmus had reported the attack to the police.

The prosecutor, Inspector Nurudeen Thomas, on Thursday, brought the suspect, who hails from Osun State, before the Magistrate, Mrs. M.O. Oshodi, on three counts bordering on armed robbery.

Oshodi, who was holding brief for Mrs. Dan Oni, refused to listen to the defendant’s plea and ordered that he be remanded pending the time the Directorate of Public Prosecutions would issue legal advice on the matter.
