The suspect who hails from Ondo State, made the revelation while being paraded alongside 10 other suspected criminals.
The Edo State Police Commissioner, Muhammed Dankwara, at the headquarters of the state Police Command, Benin City said:
“What we do is that we disguise as site workers going to the site, then we call the drivers to take us to the site. When we get to the site, we will collect their cars, kill them with blocks and sell their cars.
“We killed the first one, collected his car and I sold it to the Chinese company. The second one was a Keke. We also sold it, but the last one was the one that the police arrested us for. We are yet to sell the Sienna car before we were arrested.”
Collaborating the report, Akin Amadin, a member of the gang, said he met Williams Abiodun in Auchi and he told him about the business.
“Abiodun told me that my job is to be watching out to see who is coming. For the first one we did, he gave me N35,000. The second one, I got N55,000 and the last one was the Seinna car, but we could not sell it before the police caught us. We killed the three persons,” he said.
The gang is made up of Williams Abiodun, 39; Emmanuel Joseph, 30; Akin Amadin, 29, and the fourth person who is now at large.
Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Dankwara, while briefing newsmen during the parade, said the Police recovered N1.2 million, sophisticated arms and ammunition, while 135 suspects have been arrested since his assumption of office in Edo State.
He warned criminal elements in the state to call it to quit or move out of the state or else have themselves to blame.
