If I Steal Again, Sacrifice My Head To Ogun – Motorcycle Thief
The security operatives had apprehended the suspect with three intact motorcycles and three others dismantled, with parts sold as scrap at Okeho town in the Oke Ogun area of Oyo State.
Kazeem Akinro, the State deputy commandant of Amotekun, in a chat with Tribune, disclosed that the security agency was informed of Ibrahim’s notoriety in stealing motorcycles.
Akinro said, “Ibrahim usually removed motorcycles from where they were parked. Since then, we have been on the lookout for him, with the belief that we would catch him.
“He was eventually and three bikes were found with him. Also found were parts of those already dismantled. One of the bikes recovered was used in tracking him and the owners came to confirm it through the presentation of valid documents.”
Another victim, Salau Fatai Odeyemi, said, “I was sick on October 30 and was taken to a pharmacy. After returning home at about 5 pm, I slept off. I woke up later that night and wanted to go and park the bike in its proper place when I didn’t see it. I went to report to Amotekun and was called some weeks after that it has been found. I brought my documents and was confirmed as the owner of one of the bikes recovered from the suspect. We discovered he had changed some things so that it would not be noticed but the engine and chassis number gave him out.”
Following Ibrahim’s arrest, he pleaded for forgiveness saying, “If I’m ever caught, I should be shot or have my head severed and offered to the god of iron (ogun).”
