One of the Offa bank robbery suspects that were recently declared wanted by the Nigerian police has been identified as a dismissed police officer named Michael Adikwu.
Mr. Emma Ikumeh, who made the identification on his Twitter handle @emmaikumeh, said Adikwu was dismissed by the Nigerian police in Ilorin for misconduct in 2012.
He wrote,
“This is Michael Adikwu, a constable whom I tried, and was dismissed by Police, in Ilorin for misconduct, 2012, was amongst the Offa robbers. He’s arrested now by Kwara Police yesterday.”
At least 17 people were killed on April 5 when armed robbers stormed Offa in the afternoon, robbed some banks and carted away an undisclosed amount of money.
