The alleged leader of the notorious gang of bank robbers, Clement
Abanara, was arrested by the police in an apartment at the Osayande
Estate over the weekend according to the Inspector General of Police
Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT in Benin, Edo State.
It was gathered that the suspect, also known as 'Million', allegedly
took part in the Lekki, Ikorodu, Festac and Agbara bank robberies in
Lagos where his gang made away with millions of naira, destroyed
several vehicles and left several persons injured, including policemen
and a pregnant woman, dead.
The IRT, led by CSP Abba Kyari, had in November 2015, launched a manhunt for the bank robbers.
Kelly Fotor, one of the suspects arrested at a wedding in Sapele, Delta State last year, told Vanguard
that Million
is an experienced kidnapper, who has over eight rifles in his possession and disguises as a woman during operations.
