Emmanuel Chinagorom, a robbery suspect in a Delta State community has revealed why he committed the crime.

24-year-old Chinagorom was arrested by members of the Agbor Gha-Ihun Vigilante Group in Agbor, Delta State, and subsequently confessed to the crime.

His reason, he said was because he needed to give his late mother, “whose body is lying in the mortuary, a befitting burial as the first son.”

The Abia State-born suspect who specialised in stealing phones and other valuable items in Agbor and its environs said:

“I enter shops pretending to patronise them but my aim was always to steal valuable items like phones. This is my first time in Agbor before I was caught.”

It was learnt that the suspect, who claimed to be an electrical technician was apprehended red-handed at a shop in the locality and was handed over to the vigilante group.

Chinagorom claimed he has a partner who was a northerner based in Asaba. He said his accomplice usually buys the stolen phones.

The suspect who pleaded for forgiveness disclosed he chose the path of stealing as he had no helper to assist him to start life.

The Chairman of Agbor Gha-Ihun Vigilante, Comrade Monday Kiyem, speaking to journalists said: “We would continue to ensure that Agbor and its environs remain unsafe places for criminals like the apprehended suspect.”

The vigilante chairman disclosed that during an investigation, they discovered several telecommunication SIM cards and phones in the suspect’s possession.

They later called some of his victims who confirmed that their phones were stolen at different places.

He said:

Some of the victims who reside in Agbor have come to our office to identify their phones and narrated how the suspect came to their shops pretending to buy an item but ended up stealing their phones.

“I will hand Emmanuel over to the police for further investigation and bring his fleeing gang members to
book.”
