A 27-year-old man who was said to have specialized in snatching motorcycles from owners, Wahab Saburi, has been apprehended by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, (NSCDC), at Obada Compound, Ede, Osun State.
The state Commandant, Michael Adaralewa, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo, on Wednesday, said the suspect was arrested on 11th May 2024, at Oke-Ola Area, Ede, by NSCDC personnel in the state.
According to the NSCDC, the suspect made a confessional statement where he admitted that he started stealing motorcycle about three years ago and on the day he was arrested, he stole a motorcycle parked in front of an apartment at Oke-Ola, Ede, and he used a particular key, which he usually use to steal to unlock the motorcycle.
The commandant noted that discreet investigation revealed that the suspect had four stolen motorcycles in his room, which he allegedly stole at Agip area, Ayo–Omoba, Obada, Ede, Osun State.
“According to the suspect, he sells the stolen items to his buyers at the rate of N40,000. He stated further that he has someone in a popular market in Ede, who prepares sales agreement papers for him, which he, thereafter, gives to whoever buys the stolen motorcycles from him,” the statement added.
Adaralewa assures members of the public that all accomplices to the crime would be made to face the full wrath of the law in due course and promised that the corps would continue to smoke out criminally minded people out of the state.
