You Won’t Believe What These Brothers Used Their Mum’s Car to Do

Two brothers, Ikenna Onunkwo (28) and Chinedu Onukwo (23), have been arrested for using their mum’s car to rob unsuspecting ladies on Lagos Island.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, told New Telegraph that the brothers usually dress and leave home in their mum’s SUV every morning pretending to be going to the office but instead went to rob.

After office hours in the evening, the brothers, still using their mum’s car would offer to give female passengers at bus stops a lift and subsequently rob them of their valuables before pushing them out of the car.

The CP added:

“Luck ran out on the two brothers after robbing a lady on November 13, on their way from Lagos Island. The lady was able to get the registration number of the vehicle. She reported the incident to the Bar Beach Police Station.

Through the assistance of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), the vehicle was traced to a mechanic workshop at Surulere area of the metropolis”

Ikenna, the older of the two, however denied they are robbers.

He said:

“My brother and I studied at the Pan American University in Cotonou. I went to school to defend my project only for me to receive a phone call from my younger sister in Nigeria that my mother and brother had been arrested for using her jeep to rob.

I was urged to return home and come to the police station or my mum would remain in police custody. I rushed down to Nigeria and went straight to the station, only for two ladies to appear and pointed at me and my brother.

They claimed that we were two men that robbed them of their valuables. We were wrongly accused. We don’t know anything about this crime. My brother and I are innocent.”

Chinedu added:

“Some detectives came to our house to say that my elder brother was involved in armed robbery. My mother and I were taken to their station.

When my mother and I got to the station, the ladies who identified my brother as the person who robbed them also accused me of being among the robbers. I denied ever being involved in any robbery operation.

The vehicle actually belongs to my mother. I don’t drive the jeep. It’s only my elder brother who drives the car.”

The CP said they would be charged to court after investigation.
