Details on how notorious lagos robber raped 30 women
Lanre Olowojobi, alias Pumpy, a 37-year-old armed robber the police described
as notorious was arrested at Mushin, Lagos, at the weekend by
operatives of the Lagos State Taskforce.
Pumpy narrated how he and his gang members robbed
and raped their female victims.
Pumpy, whose gang members the police said
have been raining terror on Mushin, also
admitted in his statement that he killed many of
his victims for refusing to let go of their
valuables.
The reported suspect was arrested at the weekend
during a raid of some identified criminal
hideouts in the Akala, Idi-Iro, and Fadeyi areas
of the metropolis. The raid followed frequent
complaints by members of the public about the
activities of Pumpy and his gang members in the environment.
"I have raped not less than 30 women in the past three years" Pumpy disclosed in his confessional statement to the police.
He said most of his victims are those in which his gang members had waylaid to be robbed.
Further explaining how they carry out their acts, he said that his accomplices would drag their
unfortunate victims into the bush or abandoned
structures where they took turns raping them.
The robbery kingpin, Pumpy hails from Ipoti in Ekiti
State.
In addition, he said he had shot dead more than 10
persons in frequent fracas in the Akala area of
Mushin widely feared in Lagos as a gathering of
undesirable elements and dark spot for criminal
activities.
Explaining his ordeal on how he found himself in the gang, he stated that:
“I joined the boys in the street
in 2008 but I founded my own gang in 2010.
Initially we were four members in the gang but
we later increased to 10. Aside being
contracted by land grabbers and members of
the different transport unions during their
frequent leadership tussles, we also recruit
young boys and girls to sell drugs on the street.
“I have over 20 young boys and girls who sell
Indian hemp, Codeine, Tramadol and other
drugs to users in the area. These young boys
and girls do this in return for food, shelter and
protection. A good number of them ran away
from their homes while some of them are
destitute.
“Since 2010 when I founded my own gang, I
have killed so many persons. Some of those
killed either died during shootouts or were
macheted. There was a time I butchered one
guy like a goat simply because he assaulted my
girlfriend. Before then, I had warned him to stay
away from my girl but he refused. I even sent
some of his friends to him and he still paid deaf
ears. One day, I sent some of my boys to
corner him at night and macheted him severally
during the fight that later ensued.”
Olayinka Egbeyemi, the Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force,
Superintendent of Police,
who confirmed the arrest said that, though
investigation was still ongoing, those arrested
would soon be charged to court.
