A notorious armed robbery kingpin identified as Emmanuel Ndidi,
has been arrested by members of a local vigilante outfit in Delta
State, the Agbor Gha Ihun Security, in Agbor area of the state while
playing keyboard in a church.
PoliticsNGR
reports that the 23-year-old Ndidi, was the leader of a two-man robbery
gang that has been terrorizing the people of the area and was traced to
the church a few hours after he led the gang to unleash terror at the
Sunny Ojougboh area in Agbor where they dispossessed residents of their
valuables.
It
was gathered that Ndidi, a native of Ohunmere in the sam Agbor, had been
deported from Ghana where he was working as a bus driver but decided to
go into robbery in the night while he was seen as a born-again
Christian and a worker in a new generation church.
The
cover was blown open when his partner was arrested and he confessed
that Ndidi was the leader of the gang and he was traced to the church
where he was arrested.
He immediately
owned up to the atrocities leveled against him blaming the devil for his
decision to go into crime, promising to stop his involvement in
criminality if he is pardoned.
He further confessed that one, Chuks Okpehoro,
was his accomplice in the latest operation where about four handsets
and other items were forcefully collected from their victims.
Okpehoro,
also 23 and a school dropout, said that Ndidi invited him to be part of
the operation, and also promised to turn a new leaf if pardoned.
The Chairman of the Agbor Gha Ihun, Comrade Fidelis Omoile,
confirmed the arrest of Ndidi, saying he was apprehended in a church in
Ime-Obi while playing a keyboard, disclosing that the suspect and a
member of his gang carried out the operation at Sunny Ojougboh around 8
pm on Saturday, September 16, only to go to church the following day to
be part of the instrumentalists.
