Twin brothers arrested for robbery in Lagos

Posted by Gideon Ogidi.

A set of twins, Taiye and Kehinde Balogun, (pictured

Squad in Lagos for robbing a factory belonging to Reckitt
Benckiser, Punch reports.

Police authorities said the brothers, who were welders,
were hired by a robbery gang to break into the company’s
warehouse in May last year. The robbery gang robbed the
company of soap, noodles and chemicals worth
N17million.

They were arrested, after much investigation, in February
2014. How sad for their parents. Continue.
After their arrest, the 27 year old twins claimed that they
were not aware that they were being hired for a robbery
operation.

Kehinde said;
“Around May last year, we were called by one guy
known as Yankee who lives near our workshop in
Agbara. He took us to meet one Deji. Deji claimed to
be a storekeeper at the factory, saying he had
misplaced his key. He took us to the warehouse and
said we should break the locks open. After breaking
the locks, they told us to help them load the chemicals
into some trucks. They said they were under
instructions to transfer the cartons to another
warehouse. After helping them load the goods, we
were given N10,000 each.”

But the police do not believe their story. They insist that
the twins were aware that it was a robbery operation. Plus
other suspects arrested along with the twins said the twins
had been informed of the operation beforehand.
