Sharjah: Eight Nigerian men were sentenced to death in Sharjah on Wednesday for carrying out a string of armed robberies at money exchanges and cash machines across the emirate in December 2016.

A ninth man was sentenced to six months followed by deportation for possession of stolen money. He denied the charge against him and said that one of the accused’s brothers asked him to transfer Dh60,000 to an in his home country.

A total of 20 suspects were initially held for attacking security guards in four violent attacks at ATMs and money exchanges across Sharjah in late 2016. Out of 20 suspects, nine were convicted.

Total amount of cash that was stolen from three locations
Some of the accused confessed to their crimes while others denied the charges levelled against them.


The verdict was handed down by Judge Majid Al Muhairi of Sharjah Criminal Court on Wednesday.

The eight-member gang attacked security trucks and entered establishments by force and threatened and assaulted staff and of the public with bladed weapons in a spate of robberies, three of which were carried out in the same day on December 18, 2016.

The gang — who were all in the UAE on visit visas — were said to be highly organised and plotted a string of orchestrated attacks to ambush security trucks that were transporting money boxes to and from ATMs, and at least one money exchange in Sharjah.

The first robbery took place at a Dubai Commercial Bank ATM on King Abdul Aziz Street where Dh340,000 was stolen, then two days later they attacked an ATM in Al Safeer Mall in Al Nahda fleeing with Dh700,000, and an ATM in Muweilah where they stole Dh710,000. A fourth attack at a money exchange office near National Paints was foiled by police.

The gang of 20 were arrested in record time but police confirmed that only a portion of the stolen money — almost Dh1.8 million — had been recovered, as the gang had divided the money among themselves and transferred it to their home country.

Suspects were taken into custody in cooperation with police in Dubai, Ajman and Fujairah.

The gang committed the heists at the busiest times of day when streets were crowded, which added to the confusion and enabled them to escape, said police.

In each robbery the assailants struck quickly before police could arrive, the attackers however could not evade security cameras and police were able to recognise the suspects through surveillance footage captured at the exchange house in the mall.

Video footage showed the suspects attacking security guards, making off with cash, and in one of the robberies slashing the hands of a security guard with a knife before running away with money boxes.

Police believe the suspects had monitored and tracked the security trucks used to transport money for a period of time before launching the attacks took place.

Appeal due and sentences could get reduced to life
A prosecutor told Gulf News on Thursday that as per the law, a group of people who threaten the life of others while committing robbery are subject to the death sentence, however an appeal is expected to be launched and the sentences could get downgraded to life imprisonment.

With the kind of comments from the ladies on this platform about this matter it seems they don't hustle to know how difficult it is to make money all they know is to spend money, please end the relationship ASAP

Origin:
That's why it is N500 in Ogun ibadan Ondo but N1000 in Lagos.

Have they been attacking Lagos farmers too?


Please tell us precise locations of this attacks and the number of people affectedt.

I don't think there are cassava farmers in Lagos,people bring garri to Lagos from other states and if herdsmen activities affect farmers in those states it will surely affect the price of garri in Lagos

ednut1:

[quote author=adonismuller post=56461017]The best advice is save up your alloweee use it to start a business while you keep searching......


That way you won't be depressed, despirate and taken for granted....[/iquote]I did this and it worked

It's not advisable to relocate to a country where you don't have any to start a business unless if you have ur money in billions and ready to waste some because a lot of things involved

1)the type of business you want to start
2)do you have ur business plan
3)how much do you understand the business environment you will be operating
4)cost of settling down in the country (rent,feeding,transport......)
5)Don't forget the business will not be bringing profit the moment you start it
6)and other unforeseeable things (government policies)

Think about it very well before you make any move it maybe advisable to start the business in Nigeria (start small and think big)you can grow your business in Nigeria if you manage it well

Good luck
