A 24 year old man who was apprehended by operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command, for allegedly stealing a Black SAAB Saloon Car, with registration number, AAA 581 CG, belonging to his helper, has said he will continue to steal the car because he’s obsessed with it.

The suspect, Richard Akinwale, was trailed from Iju road, Fagba area, for about five hours by the RRS officers before he was eventually nabbed along Wempco road in Agidingbin.

A drop-out from Northern American University in Cotonou, Benin Republic, gained entrance into the living room of his victim, Adelabu Tolani, through the ceiling to pick the car keys and carted away the vehicle along with other valuables.

While arriving at the RRS’s headquarters, the suspect, who owned up to the crime, added that he stole the car and other valuables of his helper deliberately to punish him for forgetting his birthday.

The suspect disclosed that his victim, Adelabu has been the sole financier of his university education, adding that he picked him up when everybody rejected him.

The owner of the stolen vehicle, Tolani Adelabu said he regretted lending out helping hands to the suspect by accommodating him under his roof.

While confirming the arrest, the Police Public Relation Officers (PPRO), Superintendent of Police, SP Dolapo Badmus, said all hands are on deck to rid-off the state from all nefarious activities.

The suspect has been transferred to Lagos State Task Force on Environment for prosecution.
