The Police High Command, weekend,
said that South West robbery czar, Abiodun Ogunjobi, aka Gododogo, who was
nabbed last week after a massive manhunt was a bigger threat than the famed
Shina Rambo. The police said Godogodo reigned in the underworld for at least 14
years.
His notoriety was such that
some governors have called the police high command to hand over the
underworld king to them so that they can re-assure their people that Godogodo
has actually been arrested.
Vanguard gathered that
the six police commands including Lagos are currently clamouring to interrogate
the suspect who has terrorized the region for over 14 years, killing more than
50 policemen and many other civilians.
Police sources told Vanguard that
Commissioners of Police from these states who have lost policemen and rifles to
this deadly robber were seeking to have him paraded in their states to restore
public confidence in the police.
A police source disclosed that
activities in one of the banks raided by Godogodo and his gang last year,
leading to the death of unspecific number of people are yet to resume.
“They all want to have a time with
the notorious armed robber. They are all victims of his escapade and they
all want to interrogate him to know how he coordinated some of these
operations.”
Fashola orders intensive treatment of
suspect
Meanwhile, Vanguard also
gathered that Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has ordered an
intensive treatment of the suspect who was injured from bullet fired at him
during his arrest in Egbeda area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
Sources said Godogodo was rushed
to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, last
Thursday. He was bleeding from injuries he sustained during his arrest.
Godogodo bigger than Shina
Rambo —Police
Explaining how big he was in the
underworld, a top police officer said he was bigger than Shina Rambo, who shot
to public consciousness with his daring raids that led to the death of scores
of policemen and civilians in the 90s.
According to the source, “we did not
make it public because of the need not to frighten the people. But any top
police officer will tell you that he was bigger that Shina Rambo. Was it the
number of policemen he killed, the businesses he raided? He was the top man.
“He became prominent because of his
access to arms. They operate in syndicates. For instance, in the Ajah zone,
there was Saheed who looked out for targets. In this same zone, there was Omoba
who had a six-man gang. When they identify a target and feel that it’s huge,
they would invite Godogodo who would storm the place with his superior arsenal.
They operated like that in every part of the region.
“However, before he was caught we had
depleted his men. Some of them like AY, Seye, Omoba and Saheed had been
arrested. We killed people like AY and Paul.
Sorcery and charms
“These people believe in sorcery and
charms. They are usually emboldened by their charms. Initially, we assumed they
lived outside the country but gradually we started putting some of the evidence
together which led to their arrest.
“What also struck us was that they
operated on weekends. We still don’t know why. These guys were deadly.”
Asked why they have decided to take
him to some South-West states, the police top shot said he doubted if he would
be alive for such parade.
He said: “Godogodo was in pretty bad
shape when I saw him. I don’t think he will be alive for such exercise except
the doctors perform a miracle.”

ReplyDeleteTreating the Robber is to keep alive to retrieve as much information from him on his nefarious escapades before the Police probably do away with him.
