The Lagos state police command has arrested a suspected armed robber found in possession of a suspected human hand, firearms and other items believed to have been stolen from robbery victims.
In a statement on Friday, SP Abimbola Adebisi, police spokesperson in Lagos, said the suspect was arrested during a routine stop-and-search operation along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
Adebisi identified the suspect as Samson Onilewaji, 21. She said the suspect was travelling in an unregistered commercial shuttle bus with five other occupants when police operatives intercepted the vehicle.
According to the police, a search of the vehicle and its occupants led to the recovery of a suspected human right hand, two locally made pistols, one live cartridge, two axes, one Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminal and five ATM cards from the suspect.
The police said Onilewaji confessed to recently robbing three people of their belongings, including the recovered POS terminal and ATM cards.
