It was double jeopardy for a couple, who adopted a boy over their inability to
get a child and to have a child that will take care of them at the old age, as
the boy grew up only to turn into a bandit that produces guns for armed robbers
in Lagos.

bandit, Chukwuma Ezeanyim, has been arrested by Police operatives at Ejigbo
Division led by the DPO, CSP Olabisi Okuwobi and recovered tools which he used
to produce toy guns for criminals.
The suspect, who claimed to have learnt to produce toy guns in Port Harcourt, River
State, was arrested at Nufemi Street, Ejigbo area of Lagos, after his parents
