A 33 year old suspect and ex-convict, Olawasegun Oladimeji, arrested by operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command for vandalising Toyota cars in Victoria Island, has confessed that he has vandalised 47 cars and removed their brain boxes in the last two months.

Oladimeji, a barber, also said a spare part dealer in Ladipo International Market was the one who gave him the specifications of cars to vandalise.

He was arrested in Lekki last week by the RRS officials, barely six weeks after he regained freedom from Kirikiri Prison, Lagos.

The suspect, according to report had just vandalised some vehicles around Lekki before he was apprehended by the RRS’s patrol team.

Found in his possession were several body parts of Toyota Corolla and mobile phones, which he stole from the garage guards, who were sleeping when he broke in.

He disclosed that he was released from prison in November, 2016 after he was convicted for three months for removing Toyota body parts in another garage in Apapa, in July, 2016.

In his confessional statement, Ananyor Chuwku, an accomplice said: “Our boss, Oga Dona, usually gives me N30, 000 to N35, 000 to give Segun and collect the goods in his hand. He asked me to wait for him at Toyota bus stop or any other place to collect the stolen car parts from Segun.

“At times, he gives me N1, 000 or N500 after the deal. Occasionally, he tells me nothing ‘dey on top’. Segun has been supplying stolen spare parts to him for up to eight years. We are just hustlers. Chigozie has another oga that he supplied stolen spare parts to”.

Confirming the incident,Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Police, Dolapo Badmus, said the Command would not rest on its oars in nipping in the bud criminal activities in the state.

The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba.
