From where he sat in the midst of other suspects, he was looking so depressed as his eyes rolled from one side to the other. Understandably, few days earlier, he was a man many of those interrogating him would dread seeing, especially while on duty, but suffice it to say the table has turned.
Among several other suspects that were paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, recently, Sulaimon Savage appeared so disturbed, as he says he would never go back into robbery if he could regain his freedom.
After he had admittedly spearheaded several robbery operations in the state, the 32-year-old says he wished he had been killed like his friend during the operation that brought him to the station, if that was the only way he could avoid the shame of appearing before everyone, especially the cameras.
Savage, who claims to be a carpenter, met his waterloo on November 29, 2015 while he and three of his colleagues were carrying out a robbery operation in traffic around Omole Phase I Estate in the Ojodu area of the state.
He explains that he and his gang members had planned to go out for operation but that his colleague, Akeem, who introduced him to the business, said he needed money, thus, they had to go out for a “quick operation” that afternoon around 2pm.
The Police commissioner told journalists that policemen from the Ojodu division moved to the scene of the robbery after a tip-off. He noted that the suspects opened fire on the police team which responded in kind. In the process, one of the suspects fell. He noted that while one other was arrested, two others escaped.
Exhibits recovered from the suspects included two locally-made pistols, six live cartridges and one expended cartridge.
