Two robbery suspects have confessed that they only robbed twice with their gun to collect 5 phones from their victims.
Victor Okoro Aka Talknado and Emmanuel Nnagwu were arrested in Ebem Ohafia community in Ohafia local government area of Abia State vigilante group in collaboration with Ebem Ohafia youths who alleged that the gang has been terrorising the community.
Narrating to ABN TV how he was involved in robbery, Talknado said his friend who was a member of Bakassi vigilante in Anambra had absconded with some guns, among which he handed over one to him (Talknado).
He said the singlehandedly carried out the first robbery operation with the gun when he dispossessed a female victim of her bag containing one phone in the community.
Giving account of his second robbery, Talknado said he had earlier in the week hinted his friend, Emmanuel of a plan to rob residents of Ebem.
According to him, residents now leave their doors and windows open to allow from ventilation due to the heat at the period, an opportunity he said can ease a robbery operation.
His friend Emmanuel he said woke him up at about 2am to the operation.
“I and my colleague arrived at the agreed venue, pointed touch, and discovered that their door was open.
“We entered and took two phones and left. As we were going, we arrived at another place where one man known as Menthol lives.
“We saw that their own door was open and we entered there, took two phones, went home, and shared the items we stole“, he said.
Talknado however said he has not robbed any money or other items from anyone, saying people always surrender anytime he points the gun at them even though there is no bullet in it.
Emmanuel however faulted Talknado’s claim, saying he was the one that came around 2am to wake him (Emmanuel) for the operation.
He said he has never been involved in robbery before, saying Talknado introduced him into it.
He said his mother had warned him to stay away from Talknado over his questionable characters.
