A 28-year-old suspected armed robber, Gbenga Kikiowo, who was arrested by men of the Ondo State Police Command, has disclosed how he ventured into robbery since the age of seven.
According to Kikiowo, who was arrested alongside one of his gang members, Tope Aladeloye, 25, his motive was to be as popular as known notorious armed robbers in the country such as Ishola Oyenusi, Lawrence Anini and Shina Rambo.
Kikiowo made the confession when he was paraded at the state police headquarters in Akure, the state capital.
The suspect, who said that he started robbery at his home town in Igbara-Oke, headquarters of Ifedore Local Government Area of the state at a tender age, said he had been to jail three times as he blamed spiritual attacks for his engagement in social vices.
Narrating how he was arrested in Akure, Kikiowo, who disclosed that he had participated in armed robberies in Ghana, said that it was when he was on his way to buy bullets ahead of an operation within the Oke-Aro area of the state capital that he was nabbed.

“I called my partner who normally goes with me for operations. I informed him that I have a gun with me but there’s no bullet. So he told me to bring the gun down to Akure from Ife which I did. It was on our way to buy the cartridge that we were arrested by the Scorpion Squad of the police.
