A suspected teenage armed robber, Sodiq Oyedokun, has not come to terms with how his native bullet proof charms  failed him and he failed to disappear before he was arrested by the Police during operation in Ondo State.

 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect,  Oyedokun, did not only prepare native bullet proof charms, he as well procured anti-Police arrest charms during operation but both failed him.

 

The embittered Oyedokun expressed frustration over how his bulletproof and anti-arrest vest, which were intended to help him evade crime scenes, failed to protect him despite huge sums of money spent on the native doctor to prepare them for him.

 

The suspect, Oyedokun, was arrested and paraded alongside 20 other suspected criminals by the Ondo State security outfit, codenamed Amotekun, in Akure, the state capital.

 

During interrogation, the suspect revealed that he inherited it from his late father, a herbalist, who gave him the vest and he kept it in their house.

 

He said it was the first time he had put the vest on during an operation, but he usually goes out with it when going out for other operations.

”The bullet proof vest failed me because I ought to have disappeared from the scene of the operation.”

”I don’t know why the vest failed me. I was expected to have disappeared and not arrested at the scene when the Amotekun personnel stormed the venue of the operation.”

The charms have put him in serious trouble as he was arrested and will be prosecuted for the alleged armed robbery under the Criminal Laws of the State.

 

Meanwhile, other suspects paraded along with him included suspected kidnappers, armed robbers and specialised Okada snatchers, who were said to have been terrorizing the people of the state in recent times.

Adeleye, who said that they have been profiled, added that they would be charged to Court after thorough investigation.
