This armed robber was apprehended by vigilante group and neighbours of veteran Journalist Azuka Jebose when he in the company of another robber now at large stormed his resident at Ijede area of Ikorodu yesterday.

This was how Mr Jebose narrated the story

"This young man, perhaps in his early 30s, alongside his partner, at 10a.m Sunday, scaled the high wall of my home in Ijede, jumped into my compound, then used his power and tools to cut the burglary proof iron guards at my dinning room window, boldly stepped into my home and began a free for all robbery attempt, first to visitors room, then to my daughters room where he ransacked her closet.

Thanks to my brother in-laws, neighborhood watch and speedy neighbors' reactions to our screams for help, we captured this young terror, his partner escaped through surrounding bushes. He was immediately handed over to the Police station where he confessed his attempts to rob and rape my family. His partner is on the run. 

This young man traveled from Ketu to Ijede this morning, with intent on robbing and maiming my family. His fiancee told police and us that he told her he wanted to run few errands after spending early Sunday morning with her. She claimed he was a bricklayer while his sister, claimed she told him he was a software engineer, when police contacted her. Tomorrow, the Police will move him to Kirikiri Maximum Security. I wished I had set him ablaze. But, I will allow rule of law. My family and I are safe. Thanks to our circles of immediate family and wonderful neighbors who responded sporadically.."
