Ghanaian Arrested In Lagos For Robbery Confesses: I Relocated To Nigeria To Make Money

A Ghanaian citizen resident in Nigeria, Israel Nana
has confessed that his mission to Nigeria was to
dispose people of their valuable properties and
become rich before going back to his country.
The 30-year old Nana said he nearly accomplished
his mission and was preparing to return to Ghana
when he was arrested.
Nana said he came to Nigeria five years ago and had
been busy stealing and making money but nemesis
however caught up with him.
He said he was a well known criminal in his home
town in Kumasi, Ghana and because of his renowned
notorious activities, he decided to relocate to Nigeria
to continue his criminal activities.
On how he came to Nigeria, he said his friend who
lives in Nigeria helped him secure passage into the
country, adding that, immediately he got into
Nigeria, he began stealing and later graduated to car
snatching.
He said since he came to Nigeria, he had lived in four
cities in four states namely, Abuja, Lagos, Edo and
Rivers.
He said he settled for car snatching because "you
don't need sophisticated weapon such as guns, pistol
bullets etc to carry out the operation and it was easy
to dispose the cars because a buyer was already
ready to pay the money".
On the choice of cars he specialize in stealing, he said
the demand are Toyota Cars especially Camry but
Honda, Nissan Jeeps and others were also in high
demand.
He said he was arrested in Rivers State after one
Alhaji who buys stolen cars from him was arrested in
Abuja a fortnight ago.
He said he was still surprised on what was happening
to him because he never thought he would be
arrested.
Nana is a member of the five-man gang car syndicate
arrested by the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad for
car snatching in Nigeria.
They were paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner
of police, Mr Kayode Aderanti at Ikeja, Lagos. Some of
the vehicles stolen were also recovered across cities
in Nigeria.
