LAGOS — Notorious robbery czar, Abiodun
Ogunjobi, aka Godogodo, who was arrested
recently in Lagos State, is currently telling the
police how he coordinated some of his
operations within Lagos and some South-
Western states.
Source gathered that the 36-year-old native of
Ogun State confessed to some high profile
deadly robbery operations within Victoria
Island, Lekki and Ajah axis of state.
Police said that Godogodo has also confessed to
the gruesome killing of four officials of the
Department of State Services, DSS, whom he
met at Alpha Beach Hotel located around Lekki
area of the state in August 2012.
source learnt that Godogodo, who was
discharged from the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, where he received
treatments from bullet wounds sustained
during his arrest, weekend, told his
interrogators, at the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, SARS, that he was left with no option
than to kill the DSS operatives who he said
posed immense danger to his operation in the
hotel.
A source who craved anonymity said:
"Godogodo didn't know that the people he
killed at Alpha Beach Hotel were DSS officials.
"He said a member of his gang he identified as
Yinusa, told him that some policemen who
were lodged in one of the hotel rooms had a
fisticuff with a member of his gang and when
he went to the room, he said he opened fire on
everybody to prevent the police from attacking
him."
source further gathered that the Lagos State
office of the DSS is preparing to liaise with the
Lagos State police command to prosecute
Godogodo.
Meantime, euphoria was high in SARS
detention cell when Godogodo was brought in
from LASUTH.
Sources said that other robbery suspects
detained in the cells chanted Godogodo's name
as he was led into his cell.
It was also gathered that the cell marshal where
Godogodo was detained relinquished his
position as the head of the cell immediately he
stepped in there.
It was also gathered that the breakthrough that
led to Godogodo's arrest came after a three-
week intensive search for the bandit in Ibadan,
Oyo State.
source gathered that the officer in charge of
SARS, Lagos, Abba Kyari, re-inforced the search
for him few days after the gruesome murder of
the owner of 04 Hotel in Ajah and six others.
The search for Godogodo had been on in Lagos
and the South-West for close to two decades.
The policemen were already getting weary until
the O4 hotel incident rejuvenated the search. .
Sources said that Kyari intercepted information
linking Godogodo to Ibandan and he was able
to arrest a close member of his family who led
police to his mansion at Olowu, Egbeda area of
Ibadan.
