Police Nab Fake Operatives Using Car Jack as Gun to Rob SUVs in Lagos Estates.
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested 46-year-old Jude Onouha, the mastermind behind a criminal gang notorious for invading upscale estates and stripping high-end SUVs.
The syndicate, masquerading as security operatives, used fake uniforms and a cleverly modified Mercedes-Benz car jack resembling a firearm to deceive estate guards and gain access to gated communities.
Once inside, the gang targeted luxury vehicles such as Toyota Hilux, Toyota Highlander, Lexus 650, and Mercedes-Benz models, stripping them of valuable components like brainboxes, wiring systems, and side mirrors.
Police recovered the modified car jack and a “Special Force” branded face cap used in the ruse.
Onouha has confessed and is aiding detectives in tracking down other gang members.
Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, called on estate residents and security managers to verify the identities of anyone claiming to be a security operative before granting entry.
He emphasized the need for heightened vigilance and collaboration with Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) to prevent such crimes.
