One Musa Abdullahi is currently cooling his feet in police custody following his arrest after he allegedly stole Logistics Company’s Daylong Motorcycle in the presence of being a mechanic in Agbani Road, Enugu on April 1st.
Narrating how the incident happened, the spokesperson of Enugu police command, Daniel Ndukwe said the suspect was arrested by their Operatives serving in Awkunanaw Police Division, on April 1, 2024, at about 5:30 p.m.
Ndukwe, a deputy Superintendent of Police said that the suspect; a 22-year-old male was arrested “in Ogbadigbo Local Government Area of Benue State, and recovered a Logistics Company’s Daylong Motorcycle, which he fraudulently stole from its rider (names withheld) at One-Day, Agbani Road, Enugu, at about 3:00 p.m. on the same date.”
“The suspect’s arrest followed the receipt of a report from the rider alleging how the suspect unsuspectingly made away with the motorcycle under the pretense of being a mechanic and could fix the motorbike, which broke down at the mentioned location in Enugu.
“A preliminary investigation shows that the suspect, after presenting himself as a mechanic who could fix the motorcycle, asked the rider to go to the distant New Artisan, Enugu, to buy a sprocket, which he said was responsible for the breakdown of the motorbike.
“The rider complied but came back to discover that the suspect had disappeared with his motorcycle to the faraway Ogbadigbo Local Government Area of Benue State, where he was arrested by the operatives.”
Ndukwe further advised “the public, particularly motorists, to be wary of who they allow to assist them in this manner, to avoid falling prey to such criminals and their activities.”
