Nnamdi Onu and his four-man robbery gang specialised in attacking commuters at Anthony Bus Stop in Lagos State, disposing them of cash and valuables. He was arrested, Friday, following a foiled operation, Vanguradngr reports.
After being apprehended by a mob, he was said to have brought out a red amulet from his pocket and threatened to hit whoever got close to him with it. The mob retreated out of fear, thereby making way for two members of the gang to escape. .

Unfortunately for Onu, he was apprehended by a team of policemen on patrol. He was said to have slumped when one of the policemen hit him with the charm. Speaking with newsmen, Onu said: “I was lured into morning raid by my friend, Wasiu.
I used to be a private guard at a site in Ogun State. The charm was meant for protection, in case of any attack by intruders. If used on anyone, the person will faint but won’t die. There are some that can cause an opponent to run mad, but I decided to use this because I did not want anybody’s blood to be on my head.”
