A 27-year old armed robber, Adeniyi Ajayi, who was arrested in Lagos has told the police to kill him as he would come back more hardened if he is imprisoned.
The robber who was nabbed in a hotel at Ijora 7-up area of Lagos. said that he punishes men who refuse to give him money by raping their wives while they watch.
He disclosed that he carried out the robbery by breaking into victims’ homes, ordering them to cooperate with him or risk being killed by other members of his gang whom he claimed had surrounded the building.
Some of his victims also rushed down to the SARS office to affirm that they were raped by the accused.
Speaking during interrogation, Ajayi said: “Yes, I rape women whose husbands refused to give me money, and those tried to make things difficult for me during operation.
“I operated alone, with just torchlight. But I would be giving orders to my imaginary gang members, on where to position themselves, just to give the impression that I was not alone.
“The solution to this act is for the Police to waste my life because if they take me to prison, I will come back hardened and I don’t want to keep disturbing Nigerians. It is better they waste my life.”
When asked what he meant by waste his life, he replied, “they should just kill me to end it all.”
