The ex-robber [name witheld] has given a vivid account of how they get information and the profiles of individuals who become their operational targets.
“We get information from public places through the calls people make and sometimes from our contractors who are high profile people [in society] including politicians, to facilitate our operation,” the robber who granted an exclusive interview to Adom TV‘s morning show, Badwam, revealed.
He also revealed that some of the same high profile people for whom they execute contracts later turn to send the police after them even when they have received their share of the spoils of the operations.
On why they sometimes kill their targets, the ex-robber explained that they only do so as revenge or punishment to victims who make their operations difficult.
