Akeem Popoola, 21, made the shocking confession in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, after he was arrested for robbery and burglary. He said he had worked for Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, for about four months before he was arrested.
He said Ijaya uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He revealed that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them, adding that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items.
