Robbers arrested while drinking alcohol at a joint, after victim identified them

Emmanuel Anyanwu, 39, an ex-convict and Kennedy Ujagbor, 42, a drug addict, were arrested by the RRS officers of the Lagos State Police Command, at Cele Bus-stop, when a victim, Sammy Bolaji, from whom they had snatched a bag, the previous day, identified them at a liquor joint.

Bolaji was on his way to Ogun State when he was stopped by the duo. He said: “They asked me if I knew a particular address and I told them that I was a stranger in that area. As I made to leave them, they grabbed my bag from behind and fled.
Sadly for me, in that bag were a sum of N7,500, two mobile phones, cloths and other personal effects. I had to discontinue the journey because all I had on me were gone. The following day, my mum chose to drive me through the same spot.

Luckily for me, I saw them sipping alcohol early in the morning. I alighted, not telling my mom what I had seen, at least to confirm first. I saw RRS’s patrol vehicle passing by and I waved them down, they followed me to where they were sitting and arrested them.”
