I have so many responsibilities,I'm the first born of my family ─ Robbery suspect......SEE PHOTO

Firstclass newsline learnt that the police in Lagos have arrested five
suspected members of a robbery gang which unleashed terror on
residents of Ijanikin area on Sunday, May 24.
One of the robbery suspects, 25-year-old Ajayi Solomon, told
firstclass newsline that he went into armed robbery because his
parents were late and he needed to take care of his siblings.
Apart from Solomon, the other suspects arrested are Momodu Williams,
19, Kazeem Ganiyu, 19, Seun Ariyo, 20, and Elijah Dada,19.
Firstclass newsline learnt that the gang, which is said to have about
40 members, allegedly robbed residents and commuters in Ketu, Iyana
Era, Alasia, Morogbo areas and environs.
Firstclass newsline learnt that on the night of the fateful Sunday,
the gang stormed Palace Road and Amosugboro streets in the Ijanikin
area, and carted away money and valuables.
The Anti-Robbery Squad from the Ijanikin Police Division, which
received a distress call, was said to have attacked the gang and
apprehended five of them.
Speaking with a source Solomon, who hails from Oto-Awori, Badagry,
said the gang had planned the robbery while they drank and smoked at
theEgunfestival. He added that he had five siblings which he took care
of with the proceeds of robbery.
He said, "It was at theEgunfestival in the Oto Awori area that we
planned the operation. We drank and smoke hemp during the festival. At
about 8pm, we left for the Ijanikin area. We were about 40 persons. We
robbed till dawn.
"Some of the gang members entered shops, restaurants, and stores to
loot property. But in the process, I was arrested by the police. It
was about three weeks ago that I returned from prison. I started
robbery two years ago. s
"I had no option because my parents are late and I am the first child.
In 2010, I also joined a cult group in the area. I belong to the Eiye
Confraternity. As a result of the death of my parents, I dropped out
of school in Senior Secondary School Class 2. I tried to learn
welding, but it was not successful. Then, I joined the robbery gang. I
am not the leader of the gang; the name of the gang leader is simply
Dollar."
Solomon, who lived on Baale Street in the Morogbo area, added that it
was a tenant who paid for his bail when he was arrested by the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad sometime last year.
