Soil Science at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH,
Ogbomosho, Oyo state, Abeeb Adekunle Olayiwola has been Nabbed For
Stealing Over 20 Phones.
Olayiwola, 22, was apprehened by a
student who handed him over to security operatives attached to the institution
after the items were found in his possession.
Bello Nurudeen, the student who
caught Olayiwola, disclosed that he noticed Abeeb carrying a female bag and
moving towards a gutter close by.
The Suspected Thief with the stolen
phones
The Agricultural Economics and
Extension student said: “I felt uncomfortable when I saw him, a guy carrying a
woman’s bag. I almost waved the thought off, thinking it could belong to his
girlfriend. However, I followed him up and traced him to the gutter side”.
“I saw him drop the bag and he
quickly left the scene. I noticed him carrying another bag from the base of the
ICT building again, heading straight to where he dropped the former. This time,
the bag appeared like that of a male.
“I monitored his movement as he was
transferring some items from the former bag to the latter. I decided to move
closer to see things clearly.
“When I challenged him to explain
whose bag he was carrying, he felt infuriated and said: ‘Why are you
questioning me?’
“Then, it was apparent that
something was fishy and I immediately called the attention of other students
around and everyone came around.
“While we were questioning him,
security officers from the new ICT building noticed the crowd at the scene and
came around to take over the case”.
Asked what he was doing at the point
where he was caught, Olayiwola explained that he came for exams, claiming to be
a student of AEC in his second year.
At that point, he was asked to
provide the name of his class rep for the sake of identification but he could
not.
The name he mentioned was wrong. It
was later learnt that Olayiwola was a fresher in the department of Crop
Production and Soil Science.
When further search was conducted on
him, three phones for which he could not give convincing proof of ownership
were found in his bag and he was handed over to the security unit for
appropriate investigations.
Officers from the security unit
alongside some Students Union Government, SUG, representatives later recovered
twenty other phones from Olayiwola’s room in the hostel.
When the suspect discovered that the
phones had been found in his room, he confessed to have committed the said
crime and claimed to have sold about three of them already.
The items recovered from him
includes 23 phones, six batteries, six SIM cards, five memory cards, two
Hand-frees, one hand bag and one HP Pavilion Laptop.
At the time of filing this report, a
phone call had been made to inform the suspect’s father, Mr. Olayiwola who
promised to join the university’s security unit.
