Wednesday, April 2, 2025 - Operatives of the Ikorodu Command of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps have apprehended two thieves as they attempted to make away with stolen items in the Ikorodu area of the state.
The culprits, Olamilekan Adumobi 21 (m) from Bode-Olude,
Abeokuta, Ogun State and his accomplice, Jabir (m) who claimed to be a crap
dealer from Katsina state, were arrested by the officers at about 1400hrs on
March 31, 2025, in front of the Central Mosque on Kazeem Arulogun Street.
The two suspects were then taken to the Ikorodu Command
office at Ita-Elewa, where they confessed to stealing five pieces of Cutting
disc, two pieces of welding tongs, five pieces of angle iron, and one iron
hammer.
The owners of the items and the property at Abule Balogun,
Eruwen, where the thieves burgled were all contacted on the phone to report to
the office.
At the Command base, Barrister Ade Adeshina (site owner) and
Pastor Talabi Adegbenro, a welder and owner of the stolen items refused to
press charges on compassionate grounds.
However, the suspects were compelled to write undertakings,
promising not to get involved in such an act again before they were released.
The General Manager of
the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency, Prince (Dr.) Ifalade Oyekan, while
commending the officers for their vigilance, warned criminals to stay off Lagos
State as the Corp of the Agency is committed to ridding the state of all
criminal elements.
