Policemen attached to Bode Thomas Division in Lagos, have arrested a
houseboy who allegedly connived with a robbery suspect to steal his
boss’ Nissan Ultima car from his Surulere apartment.
In his confessional statement, the 20-year-old suspect, Akan Solomon,
said he was tempted by the fleet of cars in his boss’s garage.
Vanguard gathered that Solomon allegedly duplicated the Nissan Ultima
car key and gave to one Kingsley Emmanuel. While everyone was out of
the premises, the latter, reportedly drove the car to the popular Ladipo
market for onward sales, Monday.
But they met their waterloo, after the buyer, requested for the car’s
complete documents which they failed to produce. This arouse the
buyer’s suspicion who reported the case at Ladipo police division.
When policemen arrived the market, the duo who apparently sensed danger, had taken to their heels, abandoning the car.
Solomon as gathered, later went to Bode Thomas police division to
lodge a complaint that his car was stolen from where it was parked, only
to be arrested.
He was said to have later opened up and thereafter, led a team of
policemen to his alleged partner in crime’s house in Adeniyi Jones area
of Ikeja.
The suspects were charged at Magistrate’s Court 3, Surulere, for
conspiracy, stealing and breaking-in, according to sources at Bode
Thomas Division.
Culled: Vanguard
