Police operatives attached to Ojo Division of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested two suspects for allegedly breaking into a warehouse and stealing goods worth N3 million.
According to a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the suspects were arrested at about 1:50 p.m. on April 8, 2021, for allegedly breaking into the warehouse of one Mr Chidi Okonkwo at Shop C1, Ifelodun Section, Alaba Market, Lagos State and stealing goods worth N3,000,000.
“The suspects, Nnanji Emmanuel (33) and Christian Chukwu (32) broke into the warehouse, stole the goods and called on a carrier (labourer) in the market, Bashiru Bala to assist in evacuating the goods before Bashiru, who knows the owner of the warehouse, called his attention to the incident.
“The owner raced to the warehouse in company of some market security men and the police, and the suspects were arrested. The stolen items were recovered from them.
“The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Hakeem Odumosu, has therefore urged lagosians to be their brothers’ keepers and protect their lives and property against theft and malicious damage as the concept of esprit de corps must be exhibited to defend one another in our society.”
