Ex soldier specialized in vehicle snatching arrested.



Bayelsa police arrest dismissed soldier, who is specialized in snatching vehicle with master key.

Parading the suspect, who hails from Cross River, the Bayelsa State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Asuquo Amba, described the suspect as a ”habitual criminal”. Amba said in Bayelsa alone, the suspect had been arrested three times. ”Andrew is a habitual criminal. We have apprehended this suspect three times. 

 The first time he stole some vehicles in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, we apprehended him in Bayelsa. The second time, he stole some vehicles in Ughelli, Delta State and brought them into Bayelsa, we were able to apprehend him. 

 ”We were able to recover three vehicles from him and the matter was transferred to Delta State Police Command. The Delta State Police Command arraigned him before the court, however, I do not know whether he has finished serving his jail sentence or he was granted court bail because I am definitely sure he was not given police bail. ”

 On June 17, 2017, about 1pm, our officers, while on routine stop-and-search operation at Akenfa area, flagged a Toyota with number-plate AG 599 YEN. The suspect zoomed off to avoid search. He was pursued and arrested by the policemen. “The Toyota car was stolen from where it was parked at Green Villa, Biogbolo, Yenagoa. ”

 The owner has been identified. In the course of our investigation, we recovered many masterkeys. He claimed that each of the keys costs N50,000 and were brought in from Ghana. He said with the keys, he could open any vehicle no matter the make.”

”We are happy we have caught him again. I want to assure the public that we are up to all his tricks and that with his arrest, the city of Yenagoa and Bayelsa will be at peace, especially knowing quite alright that most people in the metropolis do not have garages or car parks as most vehicles are parked on the streets, that is why he took advantage of that. ”

 With his arrest, I am sure our vehicles will be more secured. We are going to get some of his gang members in Makurdi and Enugu.”

Ikoyi whistleblower not stable to receive N860m reward, he may become mad’ – Sagay

Here’s what he said; “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. . He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself,” Sagay told PUNCH. . “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get
