Man who robs prostitutes arrested in Edo (photo)

Godstime Ogechi,30, who specialises in robbing prostitutes in Ugbiyoko, Egor local government area of Edo state, has been arrested by the police in Edo.

According to police, Ogechi is a one-man gang that uses a rod-like gun to rob call girls under the pretence of paying them to spend the night with him.

Ogechi takes his victims to a dark street where he would bring out the rod and the girls thinking that it is a gun, would give him their phones and money including the one he paid them.

Luck ran out of him when one of his victim ran away when they got to a dark street at Ugbiyoko area. Ogechi reportedly went back to collect the money he paid her for the night, unfortunately for him some girls in the brothel recognised him which led to his arrest.

When interrogated, Ogechi said he has lost count of the number of girls he has robbed.

“I don’t have any gang. I operate along Ekenwan road. I pick street girls at night and rob them. I will chat with them and tell them I want to take them for daybreak. When we get to a dark corner, I will bring out this thing like a gun and threaten them. They will give me their phones. I cannot remember the number of girls I have robbed. I was caught when one of the girls ran away after I have paid her. I went back to the spot I picked her from and demanded for my money. She raised alarm.” he said
