A 28-year old suspect who was arrested by the operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) for pick-pocketing prove his mettle by stealing N1,200 again inside the police’s custody during interrogation.
The suspect, Deji Ayoola, had hitherto, been nabbed by the patrol team of the squad at Ojodu Berger over the weekend for pick-pocketing a commuter who was trying to board a bus at the RedemptionCamp.
He had successfully perpetrated the crime before the RRS operatives who sighted him when he was removing the wallet pursued and arrested him.
However, it was gathered that during his interrogation at the RRS’sheadquarters in Alausa, the suspect showed his skill again by stylishly stepping on a N1,200 which fell from a policewoman’s pocket while she was removing her cell phone from the pocket.
When the money dropped on the floor, rather than draw the attention of the woman police to it, he pocketed it.
Unknown to him, another suspect had seen him when he was hiding the money, and immediately
alerted the officer that the money she was looking for was with the suspect.
Earlier, the suspect who lived at Mowe area of Ogun State, had confessed to the crime he committed
but blamed the devil for act.
“I truly removed the wallet from his (victim) pocket before I was arrested by the policemen. They bundled me to their office immediately. It was the devil who pushed me into the act. I pray to God to forgive me”, he pleaded.
Speaking with the victim over the incident, Ayodele Akerele said, “I collected a sum of N14,500 from Automated Teller Machine (ATM) from a bank at Berger on my way to the Redemption Camp. However, I had no inkling that my money had been removed. It was about the time to pay fare that I discovered my wallet had disappeared”.
“In fact, I had even forgotten about the money until the following day, when an operative from RRS called me that my wallet was recovered from a suspect when they nabbed him. The Policeman added that they found my mobile number inside my wallet which made it easy for them to call me.I was shocked to hear this because I had already lost hope of recovering the money”, he stated.
