LAGOS — Notorious robbery czar, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Godogodo, who was
arrested recently in Lagos State, is currently telling the police how he
coordinated some of his operations within Lagos and some
South-Western states.
Source gathered that the 36-year-old native of Ogun State confessed
to some high profile deadly robbery operations within Victoria Island, Lekki
and Ajah axis of state.
Police said that Godogodo has
also confessed to the gruesome killing of four officials of the Department of
State Services, DSS, whom he met at Alpha Beach Hotel located around Lekki area
of the state in August 2012.
source learnt that Godogodo, who was discharged from the
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, where he received treatments
from bullet wounds sustained during his arrest, weekend, told his
interrogators, at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, that he was left with
no option than to kill the DSS operatives who he said posed immense danger to
his operation in the hotel.
A source who craved anonymity said:
“Godogodo didn’t know that the people he killed at Alpha Beach Hotel
were DSS officials.
“He said a member of his gang he
identified as Yinusa, told him that some policemen who were lodged in one of
the hotel rooms had a fisticuff with a member of his gang and when he
went to the room, he said he opened fire on everybody to prevent the police
from attacking him.”
source further gathered that the Lagos State office of the DSS is
preparing to liaise with the Lagos State police command to prosecute Godogodo.
Meantime, euphoria was high in SARS
detention cell when Godogodo was brought in from LASUTH.
Sources said that other robbery
suspects detained in the cells chanted Godogodo’s name as he was led
into his cell.
It was also gathered that the cell
marshal where Godogodo was detained relinquished his position as the
head of the cell immediately he stepped in there.
It was also gathered that the
breakthrough that led to Godogodo’s arrest came after a three-week
intensive search for the bandit in Ibadan, Oyo State.
source gathered that the officer in charge of SARS, Lagos, Abba
Kyari, re-inforced the search for him few days after the gruesome murder of the
owner of 04 Hotel in Ajah and six others.
The search for Godogodo had
been on in Lagos and the South-West for close to two decades.
The policemen were already getting
weary until the O4 hotel incident rejuvenated the search. . Sources
said that Kyari intercepted information linking Godogodo to
Ibandan and he was able to arrest a close member of his family who led police
to his mansion at Olowu, Egbeda area of Ibandan.
