The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Osun State Command has arrested three men for offences bordering on stealing, conspiracy and possession of stolen items.
The state Commandant, Sunday Agboola, who paraded the suspects at the corps’ headquarters in Osogbo, yesterday, said one of the suspects, one Odejide Oluwole, a 46-year-old petrol attendant at Abdulkudus Filling Station, Osunjela area of the state, absconded with N120,000 belonging to his employer.
Agboola said: “Odejide Oluwole, 46-year-old petrol attendant at Abdulkudus Filling Station, Osunjela was alleged to have stolen the sum of N120,000, being the proceeds of the petrol he sold on October 9, 2022.
“He absconded from the station under the pretence that he wanted to buy food, but was later arrested on Monday, October 10 at CMS junction area, Osogbo.”
The Commandant explained that another suspect, Bamidele Kayode, 33, was arrested by NSCDC officers in Ila-Orangun on October 12, 2022.
“The suspect was said to have been found in possession of stolen items, which included one Sony DVD player, one zealot MP3, one Luxer Plasma TV with stand, two remote control and one cable at the point of arrest.
“The suspect confessed to having gone into the house of one Dada (principal suspect and currently at large) in Ila-Orangun based on his instruction to help him pack those items from his room for safe-keeping because of the leaking roof of his house to avoid being damaged by excessive rainfall.
“Kayode was found in possession of stolen items, hence, he has a case to answer.
“Also, a 32-year-old Olajide Samuel, forcefully entered a house belonging to one Mrs Eunice Olamide on September 18, 2022, at Ido-Ijesa, Osun State. He stole a Techno F1 handset and an unascertained amount of money. He was arrested through a tracking process by the corps,” Agboola said.
