The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested 39 year old Akeem Ogunniran, an indigene of Osun State, who allegedly robs jewelries merchants of their jewelries after drugging them.
Akeem was arrested after he allegedly drugged two women then robbed them of their jewelry valued at about N7million. Feigning to become a wealthy man, Police say Akeem, after identifying jewelry dealers will invite them to his accommodation, claiming he wants to purchase jewelry from them. If they reach his accommodation, he'll offer them drinks already drugged and immediately his victims fall under the influence of the sedative, then absconds with their goods.
Police say he'd been arrested repeatedly for similar cases but had managed to flee prosecution
