Amaraizu stated that the “suspect was arrested with a blackberry and a Tecno phones, as he could not give satisfactory account.

“Pressed further by the operatives, the suspect revealed how he robbed the two phones from two separate victims in his two armed robbery outings within College Road Abakpa and its environs.

“According to him, he started robbery sometime in 2013 after he was allegedly robbed by some group of boys in Abakpa and that after the incident, he bought a rubber pistol from one barrow pusher at the rate of two hundred naira and repainted it to appear as a real pistol.

“He further disclosed that he has used it on three occasions which included where he robbed a someone of Tecno phone, second was the one he robbed another victim of a Blackberry phone and lastly was his encounter with a pastor.

“He said he also wanted to rob with his pistol before the pastor told him that he is a man of God and he allegedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness and that since then, he has not robbed again.

“He stated that before his arrest on 23/1/14 at Akubeze Street, Ogwuagor Abakpa, he had started feeling the guilt of his involvement in crime as the pastor whom he wanted to rob around December, 2013 admonished him to repent and turn a new leaf and that he was also touched by the pastor’s words.
