True life story!I’m into robbery cos I didn’t heed evangelical call, confesses 50-yr-old robber

BAYO Makinde is old enough to be a grandfather at 50 years of age but he is still a source of sorrow to his aged mother because of his criminal records. The father of one who graduated from stealing to armed robbery was almost lynched to death in Ondo town, Ondo State, by an irate mob on October 8, when he snatched a motorcycle from its rider at gunpoint at about 1p.m. in broad daylight.
Police sources informed Crime Reports that Makinde dispossessed his victim, one Omoniyi, of his Hajue motorcycle with registration number FST 803 QB after he pretended to be a passenger. His victim reportedly raised the alarm which led to the pursuit of the suspect until he was caught. A cut-to-size locally-made gun which Makinde used in attacking his victim was also recovered from him.
It was further gathered that the when the state’s Special Anti-Robbery Squad went to search the suspect’s house, two other locally-made single barrel guns with 12 rounds of live cartridges were recovered. Makinde had told the police that one Clement Francis sold the cartdridges to him while one Oluwasegun Timothy helped him to purchase two guns for N44,000. He also said the third gun was given to him by one Musa Ibrahim.
While speaking with Crime Reports, Makinde confessed to the crime, and revealed that it was not his first time. He, however, attributed his bad deeds to the fact that he refused to heed the call of God to evangelical call.Read more...
