DAILY POST reports that the suspect had already dismembered the vehicle for sale to intending buyers before he was arrested.
When questioned by the officers of the Corps, Ijebu East Central Division Esure, Ijebu Imusin, the suspect said, “The engine of the vehicle is bad and I’m just trying to find some buyers for the parts since the engine is knocked and unusable”
The Corps spokesperson, Dyke Ogbonnaya, said the suspect also confessed that the vehicle was brought to him for repairs and was test-driving it to see the suitability of the work done on it before handing it over to the buyer.
Ogbonnaya quoted the suspect saying, “I have already driven it to some distant parts of Lagos with passengers before bringing it down to Ijebu Imusin and en route Epe road before I was caught dismembering the engine and other parts of the vehicle”
He added that further investigations are ongoing to unravel the incident surrounding the theft.
