Female armed robbery leader and her gang members arrested in Lagos

You know what they say, what a man can do, a woman can do better. Chioma Ezekwesiri (pictured above alone and with members of her gang) is the leader of a robbery gang that was arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, in Lagos last week. Chioma and her gang were arrested while attempting to rob a man staying a Bolatito Hotel, Kola Bus Stop, Ijaiye, Lagos.

The robbers were caught after hotel staff called the police when the robbers stormed the hotel looking for their target. The police found two guns and 12 live ammunition in Chioma's car and promptly arrested her and her gang. She later told the police the guns were for an operation over a land matter.

The 35 year old gang leader said she is a Law graduate from the University of Lagos, where she supposedly graduated in 1999 and called to bar in 2000. A claim that has been found to be untrue. Chioma is currently locked up at Kirikiri while awaiting trial...

Other members of Chioma's gang include: Raymond Chukwuka, 24, Ignatius Okeredi, 27,  Michael Madu, 52, Okechukwu Jerome, 28, and Amadi Igwe, 41.
