Sept 5, 2013 – UNILAG Female Law School Graduate Arrested For Armed Robbery In Lagos, Nigeria; Chioma Ezekwesiri Leads 7-Man Robbery Gang
The popular saying “What a man can do a woman can do better” has been twisted in the case of Chioma Ezekwesiri, a 35-year-old University of Lagos graduate who was nabbed today for robbery in Lagos.
The woman who led a 7-man robbery gang was nabbed today by SARS official in Lagos, Nigeria after police received a distressed call from Bolatito Hotel off Kola Bus Stop in Ijaiye Lagos.
According to police report, the robbers stormed the hotel after receiving tips on a customer who just sold 8 million naira worth of fertilizer staying at the hotel.
The Special Anti-Robbery Squad team reportedly surrounded the hotel and later searched all its occupants. In the process, 2 locally made guns and 12 live ammunition were found on the robbery suspects.
After thorough investigation, the robbers were taken to court.
Chioma who claims to have graduated from the University of Lagos Law School has been remanded in prison with 6 other members of the armed robbery gang.
Here is a list of the suspected robbers;
- Amadi Igwe, 41
- Raymond Chukwuka, 24
- Ignatius Okeredi, 27
- Michael Madu, 52
- Okechukwu Jerome, 28
- An unidentified man who escaped
They’re all facing 3-count charge of robbery, conspiracy and unlawful firearms possession.

whether na igbo or yoruba is only God dat will have mercy on us all
and forgive us all
even all of u dat are talking if they search our sins they might be even better than some of us, so focus on your own and stop critisizing others

Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, I think we are one nation. Had it been these stupid people are caught in another country, they will never mention them as Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa , they will report them as Nigerians… Nigerians, lets think and stop criticizing for the peace of our dear loving country. One love.

***s again …! Na wa 4 these pple o. A 52yrs old man robbing with his son’s age mate, mayb the 27yrs guy is even his son. And a lawyer turned armed robber? A perfect irony. ***s are very shameless and greedy when it comes to money. God helps us all.

D lady should be killed is she d only graduate citizen that doesn’t have job, she has been doing it since even when she is in school if you can investigate well. I graduated since 2000 no job and I help myself by setting business with the little amount I can raise.

She is not a lawyer as her name was not found among those called to bar and also the university has debunked her claim of being a graduate from Unilag. She may be a dropout, but a graduate not sure. God will help us. A lawyer in this country will not condescend so low to go into robbery.
God forbid
