A car thief, Kehinde Oluomo who was recently arrested by
the Nigerian Police Force, Kwara State command said there
was no type of vehicle he couldn't break into no matter the
brand or how high-tech it was. He said all he needs to break
into it and steal it is a piece of wire.
He confessed to having stolen six cars through this means.
The suspect, who said he was from Lagos State, explained that
he started car robbery 2 years ago.
According to him, his strategy was to monitor where vehicles
were parked, ensured that nobody was watching him and then
he broke into the vehicle with the aid of a wire.
He, however, pleaded for forgiveness, saying he would never
be involved in car stealing again if he is released.
“I stole cars and sold them off. I normally sold to
Sakiru (his co-accused). I have stolen only six cars. I
brought the cars from Lagos to sell in Ilorin. I stole
my first car in 2013,”Oluomo said.
Oluomo was arrested with his partner, Sakiru, who said he
was arraigned for car theft sometime ago, but the case was
later settled out of court.
He claimed that since then, he had been an informant to the
police, exposing to security operatives people involved in car
theft.
Sakiru said the devil pushed him into receiving a stolen car
which led to his arrest by the police.
He also expressed remorse for his action, saying he would
never receive or buy stolen vehicles again.
Another suspected receiver of stolen cars, Alhaji Oba
Suleiman, who wept intermittently when they were being
paraded by the police, said he sometimes bought stolen cars for
as little as N25,000.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kwara State Police
Command, Mr. Ajayi Okesanmi, said the suspects were
arrested in Ilorin on Monday by the anti-car theft team of the
command through the efforts of the men of the command’s
Intelligence and Investigation Department.
According to him, the suspects led the team to recover five
different cars from different locations.
The PPRO stated that the recovered exhibits included one
Mazda 626 car with registration number MUS 995 DC; Rav
4 Toyota SUV with registration number ARP 123 MY;
Volkswagen bus with registration number EQ 819 ABY;
Toyota comfort car with registration number BB 855 MWR
and Toyota bus with registration number APP 965 CX.
So if your car is one of those listed, you now know where they
are.
