How we stole N700m at Ikeja Airport – K Money

IN February 2012, a gang of heavily armed robbers attacked the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.

They carted away N700 million from a bureau de change operator. Each member, including the informant, a cart pusher at the airport, got N90million, an amount that could have turned their lives around. But barely one year after that operation, Felix Sunday, a.k.a. K-Money, a native of Delta State became broke and went back to robbery.

The 32 year old man, who is currently cooling off at the Specail Anti-Robbery Sqaud, SARS, Ikeja, narrated to Vanguard how he robbed with the notorious Southwest robbery czar, Abiodun Ogunjobi, a.k.a. Godogodo and how he lavished his N90million share of the loot. Excerpts. 

My name is Felix Sunday. I am a resident of Lagos State and  I was a commercial bus driver. I joined my first robbery gang in 2009 and  was the gang’s driver. Members of my gang then were old men and all of them are dead now.

They were killed in a robbery operation at Ajah area, but before then, a member of my gang had introduced me to Emmanuel Ehianeta, a.k.a. Arab, who is also a notorious robber. After their death I joined Arab and we began to operate together.  Arab specialized in car snatching and we stole many cars at gun point. After each operation, he usually gave the car  to  a man who would drive it into Benin Republic to deliver to some of our buyers.

We did that for some time before we had issues. I stopped working with him because he was cheating me. He usually gave me peanuts after receiving proceeds from the cars we stole. I relocated to Ondo State and  formed a new gang.

There, I had  Chiboy and Okey as members  and we specialized in house visiting. We robbed  people of their  valuables each time we visited their homes. We did that until 2011 when Chiboy was killed by the police in Ondo State. I quickly moved out of that state because the police were  also looking for me. I relocated to Oyo State, where I became a commercial bus driver.

I vowed never to return to robbery and was contented with what I was making. But there was this man who usually sent me to the prison to deliver some items to his younger brother who was locked up there.

The man was paying me very well and I was happy doing the job for him. However in one of my numerous visits to the prison, I asked his brother what brought him to the  prison and he said he was arrested for robbery, I felt sorry for him and told him that I was also a robber but  had  quit the job because it is  dangerous.

He looked at me and laughed. Thereafter he described me as a small time robber. He asked if I could  ignore a big job that could fetch me a million naira. I thought about it for a while and  said, I  would only do it if it would  make me rich and pull me out of  poverty. He told me to be patient adding that he would give my number to someone who would link me to the job.

In January 2012, I got a call from a man who identified himself as OJ and  he explained that he got my number from Destiny, the guy I had been seeing in prison.  OJ later told me that there was a job for me at  the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and he would want me to come to Computer Village in Lagos, to meet other members of the gang.

When I got there I met Asiwaju, Atoba, Eso and OJ. There OJ told me that they had concluded plans to strike at the airport and the only thing they needed  then were  rifles for the job. I told them not to worry that I knew someone who could provide us with some rifles.

I  contacted one Ore, who used to be close to Arab and  asked him how to get a rifle. He told me that Arab had  two AK 47 rifles given to him in Benin Republic by his receivers in exchange for some cars. I called Arab. At  first he was mad at me and  asked why I was calling.  I told him of the job at the airport that the foreign currencies were being exported unguarded and all we needed was to steal it. He doubted me but I managed to convince him to meet other members of the gang and he was taken to the airport and  shown how the monies were being exported.
