Former SARS officer led criminal gang to kill dozens

Reports have emerged that the Offa bank robbery that led to the death of dozens in Kwara state was led by Micheal Adikwu, a former police officer who was dismissed years ago.


Nine police officers and dozens of others lost their lives when a group of at least 30 armed robbers attacked Union Bank, Eco Bank, Guarantee Trust Bank, First Bank, Zenith Bank and Ibolo Micro Finance Bank, as well as the Owode Police Station in Offa on April 5, 2018.

Since the incident happened, police officers have arrested 22 suspects including Adikwu, a former police corporal who was attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Kwara State command before he was dismissed in 2012.
Adikwu was dismissed for aiding the escape of some robbery suspects and was arraigned in court and spent about three years in prison before he made his way out and created his own gang.
According to a report by The Punch, Kunle Ogunleye, aka Arrow, another suspect who was arrested recently, has confessed that it was Adikwu who masterminded the operation and led the assault on the police station.
Arrow is quoted to have said, "I was among the three people that entered the police station with Adikwu, but I didn't shoot or kill anyone. It was Adikwu that shot and killed all the policemen. He went from one office to the other, killing everyone. We only gave him cover."
