The Bayelsa state Police command have arrested and paraded before
newsmen, a gang of armed robbers who have been terrorizing the state.
Among them, according to Saturday Punch report, is a dreaded serial
killer and notorious armed robber, John Okafor, who hailed from Oguta
in Imo State.
Though Okafor claimed that the rifles recovered from him belonged to a friend, one Preye, he confessed that was his first attempt.
Okafor said he was arrested at Igbogene area of Bayelsa State by a vigilante group and handed over to the police.
According to him, the robbery he carried out was the work of the devil.
He said, “The rifle belonged to my friend, Preye. I didn’t know he is
a robber. We were caught at Igbogene area of Bayelsa State. I have not
robbed before. This whole thing is the work of the devil. I know God
will set me free,” the suspect said.
