| Israel Nana |
A 30 year-old Ghanaian, Israel Nana has confessed that he
came to Nigeria five years ago to steal and make some money. He said he was on
the verge of accomplishing his mission, after which he would return to Ghana to
enjoy his ill-gotten wealth before nemesis caught up with him.
He said he was a well-known criminal in Kumasi, his
hometown, but decided to relocate to Nigeria to continue his nefarious
activities.
Narrating how he came to Nigeria, Nana said his friend who
lives in Nigeria helped him secure passage into the country. He added that, immediately
he got into Nigeria, he began stealing and later graduated to car snatching.
He said since he came into the country, he had lived in four
cities in four states namely, Abuja, Lagos, Edo and Rivers.
He said he settled for car snatching because “you don’t need
sophisticated weapon such as guns, pistol bullets etc to carry out the
operation and it was easy to dispose the cars because a buyer was already ready
to pay the money”.
On the choice of cars he specializes in stealing, Nana said
the demands are Toyota Cars especially Camry but Honda, Nissan Jeeps and others
were also in hot demand.
He said he was arrested in Rivers State after one Alhaji who
buys stolen cars from him was arrested in Abuja a fortnight ago.
He said he was still surprised on what was happening to him
because he never thought he would be arrested.
Nana is a member of the five-man gang car syndicate arrested
by the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad for car snatching in Nigeria.
They were paraded by the Lagos State Commissioner of police,
Mr Kayode Aderanti at Ikeja, Lagos. Some of the vehicles stolen were also
recovered across cities in Nigeria.
