The Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), has finally nabbed most wanted armed robbery kingpin, Enioluwa Adedayo, (aka Judgment).
Judgment was declared wanted for killings, engaging some soldiers in a shootout and series of robberies in South West.
Judgment who started as a motorcycle thief in 2016, graduated into a notorious armed robber in 2018 before the head of IRT, DCP Abba Kyari, declared a manhunt for him and ended his reign of terror.
After his arrest, Judgment led operatives to arrest one of his gang members,Sunday Olubushe.
A police source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: “It is a three-man armed robbery gang led by Enioluwa Adedayo, a.k.a Judgment. Other members of the gang are Tunde aka Kasari and Lekan. They have been carrying out a series of armed robbery in Western states, especially in Ibadan, Oyo state. They were operating with motorcycles.
“We recovered a locally made pistol and an expended cartridge. His arrest also led us to Sunday Olubushe, also known as Ajegunle. In the cause of our investigation we discovered that after robbing victims of their phones, they remove their sim cards give it to Sherif also known as Alakpa, who would then use the SIM card to hack into the victim’s bank accounts and steal their money. They also confessed that when they robbed victims at home, they usually rob them of their cars.
“They also confessed to having killed two persons. One was killed at the Ibadan airport area. He was killed in the presence of his wife. The second victim was a woman operating a bar in Ojo area of Ibadan. They took her money and handset and when she struggled with Judgment, she was killed. They told us that it was Baba Esther that usually assist them in buying the guns at the rate of N30,000. While Lambe helped them to get their ammunition at the rate of N17,000,”.

I met one Lekan also known as Corporal, who introduced me into armed robbery. We started by stealing motorcycles from where they were parked at night and we would sell them to our buyers. I stole so many bikes within Ibadan with Corporal within a year, before we switched into full time armed robbery. Our first armed robbery after we bought our guns was in Ikeri area of Osun State. We went to rob a man who we learned had a huge sum of money in his house. We went with two motorcycles and we were six men that went for the operation.

We also operated in Osun and Lagos States respectively. We specialised in robbing bike men of their bikes, handsets, and monies. We also robbed people going to work or returning from night vigil in the morning.
We carried out specialised robberies.
We have robbed several internet fraudsters and business owners and we have also robbed some stores. We have three guns. I am the leader, Kasari is my second in command. We have two bike riders, Lekan, aka Waris, and Sunday Olubushe is also known as Ajegunle. One day some Soldiers accosted us, so we engaged them in a serious gun battle. After the shooting with the soldiers, we managed to escape but I got injured while trying to scale through a fence. I went into hiding at my girlfriend’s house where I was arrested. I don’t know how the police traced me to my girlfriend’s house .…
