Police arrest suspects, impound truck with N11.5m in Ogun Officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Ogun State on July 30, 2014 recovered a truck with number plate, LND 182 XB loaded with Nestle PLC products worth N11.5m at Ijoga Orile, from two suspects who actually stole and diverted the goods meant for a customer in Abuja FCT. The suspects had loaded the truck with the goods meant for a customer in Abuja before they decided to diver it to another place for sale. This is contained in a statement by the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi. He said, “When the detectives heard of the plan due to our intelligence gathering, they quickly keyed into the arrangement and a detective from SARS Ogun State entered into negotiation with the suspects, through the help of an informant. “The suspects agreed to sell the goods for N3m only to the potential buyer (the police man) before they were eventually arrested at Ijoga Orile.” The suspects are Idowu Jimoh, 42, of Kokale Coca Cola Area of Otta Ogun State, the driver of the truck who hails from Epe in Lagos State and Emeka Godwin, 21, of same address, the motor boy who hails from Anocha Local Government Area of Anambra State. He said, “The driver of the truck, Idowu, had worked in a company in Otta before he was sacked for similar offence of stealing and diverting a truck loaded with some chemical products. “He is married with two children, and has built a house from the proceeds of these dirty businesses he does. He had tactically removed the tracker fixed on the truck before he even left the company for abuja as scheduled so that the company would not be able to track the movement of the truck.” The Commissioner of Police Ogun State, CP Ikemefuna Okoye, has directed the Officer In Charge SARS Ogun to carry out a thorough investigation of the matter to get others who colluded with them, in order for them to be charged to court.
