revelations.
Garba Ibrahim
A 49-year-old native of Otukpo in Benue State, identified as Garba
Ibrahim, who found a niche in the robbery world and specialised in
robbing taxi drivers, has revealed that his robbery method was so
fool-proof that he did not think he could ever fail.
According to Punch Metro, the suspect’s simple and seemingly
harmless way of dispossessing taxi drivers of their vehicles, took him
across Abuja, Benue and Kogi states, where he operated until the long
arm of the law caught up with him.
While confesing his crimes at the Force Headquarters in Abuja when he was apprehended, told police investigators that, “With only biscuit, I can rob any taxi driver. I usually lace the biscuit with drugs.”
When Ibrahim was caught by operatives of the Inspector-General of
Police Intelligence Response Team, eight vehicles were recovered from
him. They were the remaining of many vehicles he stole and had yet to
dispose of.
He said in the statement he made to police investigators that he
was married with four children and started his criminal activities just
few months ago, when he realised robbing taxi drivers was not that
difficult.
The suspect said he discovered the method of drugging taxi drivers by chance.
He said, “It all started when I chartered a cab from Makurdi to
Gboko. On the way, I stopped over at a restaurant to buy food, part of
which I offered to the driver. We bought Semovita and drove to a place
and started eating. He started feeling dizzy.
“I then took out his floor mat from the car and told him to
sleep on it. But before he slept off, I took the car key. As soon as he
slept off, I drove the car, a Volkswagen Golf 3 to Otukpo and I sold it
to a man called Chiama for N500,000.
“Fourteen days after I robbed that driver, I travelled to Abuja
and boarded another cab. I asked the driver to take me to Sheraton
Hotel. I paid him when we got there and asked him to wait so he could
take me back. I entered the hotel to make him think I was rich. But I
went to the pool side and sat there for some time.”
Ibrahim said after a while, he went out to meet the driver and told
him to take him to another hotel. When they got there, he said he paid
for a room and told the driver to follow him inside to collect his fare.
The suspect said, “Once inside the room, I told him I needed to
eat something fast and asked if he wanted something to eat too. I
brought out bread and biscuit from my bag. I had already put some
sleeping drugs on them.
“I took one of the biscuits and gave the rest to him, which he
took and ate. Soon after, he slept off. I then took his key and left
with the key. I drove the vehicle to Kano State and I sold it to one
Abdulrahman for N600,000.”
The police have said Ibrahim would soon be charged to court as soon as investigation is complete.
