Mouths were left aghast after a
24-year old robbery suspect, Gbenga Ashiru linked two of the most popular Fuji
musicians in Nigeria, Wasiu Ayinde aka Kwam 1and Alabi Pasuma as some of the
beneficiaries of his operation.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the
dare-devil robbery suspect was arrested by the operatives of the State Anti-Robbery
Special Squad, SARS, Ikeja following a tip-off. Ashiru confessed that he
wasted most of his robbery loot on the top artistes wherever they were on stage
performing.
According to the suspect, he
takes delight in showing off at any of the popular artistes’ shows where he
sprays what he gets from robbery to show off. “I robbed in order to raise money
that I will use to spray these Fuji artists while on stage. Anytime I
succeeded in any robbery operation, I don’t miss Kwam 1 and Pasuma Wonder Shows,”
Ashiru revealed during his parade.
The fair-complexioned suspect who
speaks a combination of English with pidgin confessed that armed robbery is one
of the quickest, very lucrative but dangerous job in the world. He however,
noted that it was morally right for people like him who puts their lives on the
line to enjoy himself as well as spend his money as he wishes.
Ashiru claimed that he came from
a responsible family but joined bad friends who initiated him into a cult and
since then his life has changed as he became violent and started taking drugs
and then graduated into robbery. He revealed that after he dropped out of
school, he was arrested and remanded in prison custody for nine months where he
learnt more about cultism and robbery operations.
The suspect said if given another
opportunity, he would like to live a normal life and be a responsible man in
the society as he has learnt his lesson. When P.M.EXPRESS visited the SARS
office, Ashiru was still detained there where he is assisting the police in their
investigation. The police source said he will be charged to court after the
conclusion of investigation.
