The Ajman Police have busted a gang of five Nigerians that robbed the Al Mustaqbal money exchange of Dhs275,000 (N13 million), including various foreign currencies.
According to Dubai news website GulfToday, Brigadier Sheikh Sultan Al Nuaimi, deputy Ajman Police chief, said that the incident took place last week when the gang members entered the exchange, assaulted its employees, threatened them with toy guns before emptying the premises of its cash and fled.
The gang members entered the country on a visit visa, which expired long time ago.
He added that the police operations room received a call about the robbery at around 10.30 pm last Thursday.
However, the suspects managed to escape before the police arrived on the scene, as the employees failed to activate the alarm in order to alert the police.
Lt Col Abdullah Saif Al Matroushi, director-general of CID at Ajman Police, said that police formed a special team to investigate the case.
“The police team used sniffer dogs to trace the movement of the suspects and found the shirt of one of the suspects and a toy gun used in the crime.
The police also used the footage obtained from surveillance cameras installed at the exchange house and the street,which assisted in revealing their car plate number and its description.
In cooperation with the Sharjah and Dubai Police, the team managed to identify the suspects and their location.
One of the suspects was arrested in a street in Sharjah.He then led the police team to his accomplices in Dubai.
In conjunction with the Dubai Police, the team raided the house of the suspect and arrested the other four.
The sixth suspect is still on the loose and the police is on the lookout.
Upon inspection of the suspect’s residence, the police seized Dhs11,000, receipts of purchases of gold, garments and various items, as well as money transfer to their countries and currencies including US dollars, euros, Omani riyals and other currencies.
The suspects confessed to the crime and were referred to the Public Prosecution.

Stupid idiots. They should have revealed their faces. After now, they'll say foreigners treat us like shit in their countries. Very soon the Arabs will tighten their borders against us....at this rate, they'll make it uneasy for us to get the entry permit into dubai. Nonsense and rubbish.
DeleteExactly what I was thinking@sisi eko...I don't know why some Nigerians burn cables btw us and other countries! some people have been sleeping since january....all of a sudden they must travel to the village with the latest range rover sports this christmas! It is well!

ReplyDeleteMaking Nigeria proud. What a way to celebrate Independence!
ReplyDeleteDubai of all places,
ReplyDeleteget ready for short sleeve or long sleeve.
Nigerians been disgracing themselves globally since 22 B.C.
DeleteNa short sleeve go befit these ones, that's if they don't completely detach their skulls. Thieves!
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Nothing like long and short sleeve in Dubai. Get some education biko
DeleteThey get jailed, afterwards deportation and banned from entering UAE
Dubai swears by their "Zero tolerance for Crime" level. That is one of the major attractions for tourists. These Naija boys can't mess things up for them. How embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteIhekire Tony
ReplyDeleteCrime does not pay, now they will rot in jail, in a foreign land.
Something happened here yesterday which am not so happy about. One of us celebrated her birthday and sent in some recharge cards. It baffled me that most of the comments there was about the recharge card, than wishing her a happy birthday. This is unlike SDKers.
In the spirit of our independence, I will like to send recharge cards to our consistent SDKers, that has a blog name and have not gotten airtime here before.
Nice....
DeleteTonero, abum onye mbu o. Lol
DeleteOn the contrary, the recharge card thing should stop.
DeleteSome people now expect recharge cards from birthday celebrants and forget to celebrate with them. It's not a right, it's a free will gift.
BV's should look for other ways to extend their good will to less privileged recipients.
U r ryt Tony, I felt bad abt it. It was as if d post ws abt recharge card and not birthday.
DeleteUnbeatable
Tonero I dey here o0, remember me in ur paradise o0. Thanks in advance!
DeleteCrime does not pay!
Tony, Abeg luk my side o. Awon fast fingers never allow make I load card before. Thanks in advance
DeleteOk nah. Nice gesture. Abeg don't forget me as I've never gotten before but still wished her Hbd.
DeleteHaba! Why are some Nigerians like this? Serves them right. They should be dealt with seriously. I kukuma trust these Arab countries.

DeleteHahahha Hunger Games part 3.
ReplyDeleteHot soup.imagine the risk for such a paltry sum.they would have made more money robbing a community bank in nigeria.bs
ReplyDeleteIt seems you are one of them. The question is why rob at all?. Nigeria is tough, times are had, but that is not enough excuse to inflict pain on others and collect their hard earned money.
DeleteNaija I hail,

#proudNigerianindiaspora#
Do we like ourselves in Nigeria? There is almost no difference as far as I'm concerned.
DeleteSix useless boys that can't work hard to make themselves useful. What nonsense is this. They keep messing this country up. Instead of getting better and redeeming our image to the outside world these nicompoops are here degrading us. Why did they even cover their eyes sef. Idiots. These countries should try and be hunting down individuals who stay more than the stipulated periods. Tomorrow they will come to naija and be forming swag for the mumus wey go fall for them. E no go pass dem Deira boys.

ReplyDeleteWhy do these mofos always tarnishing the image of Nigeria.
They keep tarnishing our image,Arabs no dey take nonsense I trust them
ReplyDeleteThey must have been successful armed robbers here in Nija for them to have the effontery to steal from a bereau de change in an Arab country where there is zero tolerance for stealing.
ReplyDeleteNa wah ooo,,,chai!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all igbo boys....they always do this when xmas is around the corner. Those bride prices don't come cheap oo!
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad, but come to think of it, what happened to d killers of Aisha Falode's Son? Or was it not in this same Dubai. We can't take actions against foreigners but they show us how illegal matters should be treated.
ReplyDeleteNaija!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do they keep bringing bad image to our country? Meanwhile I hail the coordination of their police abeg!
ReplyDeletenaija I hail thee
ReplyDeleteAnd this Muslim countries have zero tolerance for crimes like this. They can execute them without looking back
ReplyDeleteBack door sharia law will be fully enforced on these young Nigerian youths.

That's how they keep soiling the name of our dear country in Dubai. Imagine d hassle one has to go through because of dis our green passport- eye scan, finger print, you just name it. Mtscheew oga adicha mma.
ReplyDeleteJokers of the century, they think they can turn Dubai to Naija or S.A. Dubai that is so safe and peaceful.You can move around even at nite, nobody harasses you or robs anyone.i pity these fools oh, they will so face the consequences of their actions.
ReplyDeleteThe economy in nigeria is so bad dah even the person u want to steal from are thieves themselves...so I guess that's the reason the arm robbers went on Tour abi una think na only musicians dey go tour.

ReplyDeleteThis people must continue to embarrass us sha!
ReplyDeleteNow their hands are stiffened to bash "ndi ofe mmanu".As if it is a crime to put palm oil in soup yet they load groundnut oil in their stew for rice that gives one nausea seriously.Tell me the difference between the two oils.
ReplyDeleteSome of them were arrested at nnmadi azikwe airport coming from brazil with drug consignment worth over a hundred million.All these in order to meet up in december homecoming.
Their women; to the highest bidder,driving their men into crime and shady deals everyday.
I read the story of the incident last week on Gulf News, little did I know that they were Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteWhat a disgrace.
This a disgrace to the country and other nigerians residing Dubai
ReplyDeleteHow could 5 able bodied guys do all the way to Dubai to rob in a country where the whole system is well organised unlike here where anything goes.They should all be killed by hanging.
