A 26-year old assistant driver identified as Chukwu Nonso Mishack, has confessed to being part of a robbery gang that robbed and killed a certain Mrs Joy Okike, a business woman, in Benin City.
Nonso however got angry with his partner after he the 36-year-old woman dead even after they had robbed her.
He narrated:
“ OZ and Friday are members of our gang. I saw them one day sharing money and I pleaded with them to help me with some of the money. They gave me some money and asked me what I was doing for a living and I told them I was a motor boy. .
They asked why should I be doing such a work? So they wrote down their telephone numbers and gave me. About two weeks later, I called them and they came to pick me up. That was how we started robbing people. .
In the case of this woman that was killed, we accosted her while she was entering her house. We had collected everything from her after which I entered our vehicle. I was now shocked when I heard gunshots. .
After that, my colleague came to the car and I asked him who he shot. He said I should forget the matter. But I was angry and I told him that the blood of that woman will be on his head and not mine. .
Later, policemen came after us and I was arrested. OZ and Friday escaped. I was not the one that killed the woman. I have never killed before. But I am pained that OZ killed that woman even after we robbed her of money and other valuables.”
