These two brothers are currently being held in a bizarre case of robbery, in which they were said to dress like corporate office workers to rob women at the close of work in Lagos.
The brothers, Ikenna and Chinedu Onukwo, who are 28 and 23 years old respectively, claimed to be students of the North American University i
n Benin Republic.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, the siblings operated their robbery operations like a family business.
He said during the parade of the suspects that their modus operandi sets them apart from regular robbers because they dressed up like corporate office workers.
The vehicle, in which the brothers alleged operated, a Lexus 300, belongs to their mother. Owoseni said.

“They would both dress up corporately in suits as if they were just closing from an office. They drove around Victoria Island and Ikoyi and offered to give female office workers who were just closing from work a ride. We believe that their mother was also involved. Like I said, this is a family business,” 

When the suspects allegedly gave unsuspecting ladies closing from work a ride, the elder brother would drive while the brother would sit in the passenger seat.
Owoseni told journalists that the suspects would later tell their victims that they had boarded the wrong car and dispossessed them of their valuables.
It was alleged the siblings would sometimes take their victims to an ATM and force them to withdraw money.
