I’m Not An Armed Robber, I Use Machetes, Says Robbery Suspect

Hassan
A robbery suspect, 31-year-old Abdullahi Hassan, has admitted robbing his elder brother, Chitta Sarudou, a bureau de change operator based in Lagos. But he said the act does not qualify him to be called an armed robber because he used a machete in order not to attract sympathizers.


Hassan was said to have attacked his brother who was going for the jumat on Friday last week, thinking that he was with the money he had wanted to collect from him. He was said to have gone straight to the victim and inflicted several cuts on him but his screaming attracted the attention of passers-by.
