Jimade is alleged to be the leader of a syndicate group specialised in armed robbery and car snatching in Abuja.
According to the police, Dr. Jimade who hails from Ife-Olukotun in Kogi State, is the leader of a dangerous gang that has robbed numerous citizens and snatched vehicles at gunpoint in Abuja.
The five persons, according to Sadiq Bello, FCT commissioner of police, are Sunday Okhomode, 30; Meshak James, 23; and Amusu Koku, 28(a painter said to specialise in changing the colour of stolen vehicles), Kunle Obajemi, 49, allegedly an expert in changing chassis numbers; and Suleiman Isa, 26, said to be a goldsmith who buys stolen jewelries from the gang.
The last straw that spoilt the show of the gang was a robbery at a house in Maitama in November 2017 during which they allegedly stole a BMW X6 vehicle, large quantities of gold and other valuables worth millions of naira. According to the police, investigations by the command’s special anti-robbery squad (SARS) later led to the arrest of the five suspects. The vehicle, as well as five other vehicles also allegedly stolen by the gang, were also recovered. Among the items discovered in the hospital, according to the police, were four pistols with eight rounds of live ammunition as well as a face mask.

The hospital block is made up of two apartments, one housing the reception, call room, drug stores, and while the other houses the casualty wards as well as some offices. The whole place looked ransacked, an indication that no major activity might have been carried out in the building since the search by the police.
The hospital’s white gate was left ajar, after the its staff reportedly took to their heels for fear of being implicated in their director’s scandal.
Apart from the disorganised state of things in the building, most of the offices were also flooded while some other offices were under lock.
Some residents, however, confirmed that the hospital was deserted after Jimade was declared wanted.
“The place (hospital) has not been functioning for days. Aas you can see, nobody is there,” said the operator of a grocery around the hospital.
When asked if he has met the doctor in person, he retorted: “No o, I don’t know him. I’ve not entered the hospital before.”
A resident, who declined to disclose his identity, gave more details about the place.
“On Tuesday, we heard the police were looking for the doctor. I am not sure of his offence but people are saying he is a criminal. I visited the hospital once; I went to see a friend who was involved in an accident. I also met some nurses that day. I don’t know much about the place but no one would believe the man is a criminal.”
At the time the suspected gang members were being paraded by the police, James, one of the suspects, said he worked in the hospital as a cleaner.
According to him, he “followed” the doctor as a result of the challenges he was facing, being stranded in Abuja.
“I was not robbing before, but why I decided to follow him (the doctor) was because he promised to rent a house for me and furnish it because I have no place to stay in this Abuja,” James was quoted as saying.
“I don’t have a family in this Abuja. I met him in his hospital. I worked there as a cleaner. I am facing some challenges which I always tell him. It is only me and him that went for that Toyota operation but I don’t know how many they were in the other ones they have been doing.”
