A 17-year-old student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Sobando Semilore, has been arrested by the Ago-Iwoye police for allegedly stealing two high-end smartphones and attempting to sell them.
According to a statement released by the Ago-Iwoye police division, Semilore, a first-year Political Science student residing in Danmark Hall, was caught on December 17, 2024. He was allegedly in possession of a Samsung S21 valued at ₦350,000 and an iPhone 14 Pro Max worth ₦650,000, both belonging to Muktapha Adenugba.
The statement revealed that the suspect was apprehended around 5:00 PM while trying to sell the stolen phones at Pepsi Junction in Ago-Iwoye. During interrogation, he reportedly admitted to stealing the devices from a poolside at Gardeen, a well-known relaxation spot.
The police confirmed that the stolen phones have been recovered and returned to their rightful owner. Investigations into the case are ongoing, with further updates expected.
This incident has sparked conversations about crime among students, with many emphasizing the need for vigilance and better security measures in social spaces.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
