Man Caught Stealing Clothes in Local Laundry: Neighbors Warn of Rising Theft
A man was caught attempting to steal two clothes from a laundry when no one was at the reception.
Neighbours apprehended him as he tried to hide the clothes in a bag of stolen items.
During questioning, the man’s story kept changing. At first, he claimed to be a tailor, then said he was unemployed, and later claimed he was an okada rider.
After being beaten by some residents, he finally confessed to having been a patient at a psychiatric hospital.
During the search, neighbours found a purse filled with money and a faceless ID card in his pocket, raising further suspicion about his activities in the area.
His inconsistent testimony was dismissed by the neighbours, who stated they had seen him wandering the area for days, despite his claim that it was his first time there.
The community is advising residents to stay vigilant as thefts have been occurring in broad daylight, and the neighbourhood has been a long-standing target for such crimes.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
