You may think that the worst thing that can happen at your wedding is when the Pastor asks if there is anyone who doesn’t want the union to hold and someone actually gets up, but that’s far from it.
This man probably never saw this coming in his days of wild living, especially not on his wedding day. It really could have been any other day. But it wasn’t.
Oyo State Police Command arrested a suspected member of a robbery gang on his wedding day.
Olumide Asiyanbi, 42, was arrested and dragged out of his holy matrimony by the Oyo state police command just before he was about to say ”i do”.
He told newsmen that nemesis caught up with him just as he was about to sign the dotted lines in the registry.
According to the police, Olumide is alleged to be a member of a six-man-robbery gang who had terrorised residents of Challenge area of Ibadan, the state capital.
The state Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Katsina, said the suspects included a 62-year-old Ghanaian, Asiyanbi who confessed that he had been involved in 10 different robbery attacks before he was arrested.
He said, “I was arrested on my wedding day. I met the gang leader, James Agba, last year. He told me he knew how we could be getting regular money. He then initiated me into the gang. I have taken part in at least 10 operations since I joined them.
“We used gun but I don’t know where James was buying them. Sulaimon and Alhaji, who are also in the gang, knew how the guns were bought for our operations. I have fired shots at our targets but nobody was killed.”
