Suspect says Why And How I Became An Armed Robber

A suspected armed robber who allegedly specialised in snatching cars at gun point in Akwa Ibom State, Ubong Edem Edet, has said he was forced into armed robbery in order to fend for himself.

Edet, a native of Afaha Ikot Obio Nkan in Ibesikpo Asutan Local Government Area of the state, said that he had no parents to take care him.

The suspect stated this while answering reporters’ questions after he was paraded along with four others for alleged car snatching and robbery.

“I have no mother and father and nobody to take care of me; that is why I went into robbery,” he said.

Four other members of the syndicate who were paraded along with him include one Nsikak Sunday, Richard Nse Uko, Itohowo Linus and Otobong Essien.

He said all of them had confessed to being members of an armed robbery and car snatching syndicate responsible for criminal activities in Uyo metropolis and it environs.

“Based on available intelligence on 18/7/2021 at about 1:00pm, men of Anti-Robbery Squad ambushed and apprehended a five-man robbery gang.

“The suspects have confessed to be members of an armed robbery and car snatching syndicate terrorising Uyo metropolis and it environs,” MacDon said.
