21-year-old man identified as Temple Samuel has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for stealing his boss’ Lexus ES 330 car.
The spokesperson for the Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement said the suspect was arrested by operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad with three others in the Ogba area of the state.
Hundeyin gave the names of the suspects who conspired with Temple Samuel to sell the car as Benjamin Bassey aged 32, Chukwuemeka Okorie, 29 and Joshua Agboche 37.
The police imagemaker in the statement said, “Investigation revealed that the suspect who works in his boss’ car wash at Egbeda drove the car away in the middle of the night, with his boss’ iPhone X and iPhone 13 to Bassey’s house in Ikeja. He equally fraudulently transferred N75,000 from his boss’ account.
“The suspect had perfected plans to use the proceeds of the sales of the car and other valuables he stole to process his traveling out of the country.
“In the meantime, Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has directed that the case be transferred to the State CID, Panti for further investigations and prosecution.”
