Lekki Lebanese Mum Of 5 Arrested For Robbery

A Lebanese divorcee and mum of 5, Amira Abudallahi, 32, currently nursing a 6-month-old baby was reportedly arrested by operatives of the Special Anti-robbery Squad attached to the Lagos State police command with her gang for allegedly robbing bureau de change operators in Abuja and Lagos.

National Mirror reports;

The police operatives recovered $13million cash from Amira’s gang members. Other items recovered from them include exotic cars and cash in both local and foreign currencies.

Narrating how she got into crime, Amira said, “I am an interior designer. I just had a baby, my baby is six months old. I got into crime while I was still pregnant. This is like a year but I became an active member six months ago after I had my baby.

What I do for the gang is that I converse with prospective victims on the phone. The leader of our gang known as Senator gave me the numbers to call. He told me what to say and then I call the victim.

I have not built any house; I have made over N12 million since I joined the gang. I used part of it to buy a car and the other to pay my children’s school fees. I take care of my five kids alone since am divorced and my husband abandoned me. I still live in a rented two-bedroom apartment in Lekki area in Lagos.”

Amira who said she regretted her involvement in crime said she became desperate to fend for her children and her business was not making profits.

She said, “I am not proud of myself neither am I proud of what has happened, I just hope I can make a positive change on the society, I pray God will give me the opportunity to do so in the future, I believe no one is above mistake and I believe God will grant me grace.

Like I said what I did was wrong nobody is above mistake, it was my financial responsibility and the economic situation of the country that led me into the gang.”
