Police apprehend security guard in Ogun state over alleged plan to rob and kill his manager
Adamu Ibrahim, a security guard at Inspiration Fuel Station in Matogun area of Agbodo in Ifo Local Government Council Area of Ogun State has been arrested by the Ogun State police command over his alleged plan to rob and kill his manager. The suspect had allegedly contracted two area boys, Bakare Ifakayode and Ajibola Yusuf to rob the station’s manager of the N3million in his possession and kill him afterwards so as to erase all traces of suspicion.
It was gathered that the suspect had given the street urchins a vivid description of the manager, the motorcycle he was to ride on as well as his route.
Spokesperson of the command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident in a statement said the street urchins notified the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Agbado Division, SP Kehinde Kuranga, who urged them to play along with the security man while detailing his crack detectives to mount surveillance around the spot.
“Adamu Ibrahim was arrested following a report at the Station by the duo of Ajibola Yusuf and Bakare Ifakayode to the effect that, they received series of phone calls from the suspect that the manager of the fuel station would be leaving the Station at about 8:00pm with huge amount of money running to Three million naira,” Oyeyemi stated.
He continued, “Unknown to the suspect that policemen were on his trail, he continued calling the duo, telling them the description of the manager and the route he would be passing through. Before he knew what was going on, the detectives swooped and got him arrested”
The suspect unaware that his evil plan had been blown open he initially denied, but when confronted with evidence, he confessed to the crime.
The Commissioner of Police, according to Oyeyemi, has cautioned members of the public, especially business owners, to always have a proper back ground check of anyone they want to employ in order not to employ criminals unknowingly.
