Arrested Thief Dares Police: Go After Politicians Who Are Stealing

A security guard with Honda Place Company, who was recently arrested by men of the Lagos State Police for conniving with robbers to steal goods worth over N28m from the company, has said the police should stop going after petty thieves like himself but the big men.

“I earn N12, 000 a month which is too small. We are all criminals in Nigeria and we have criminal blood in our body so nobody should pretend.”

He said the police should focus their attention on politicians whom he described as the real thieves...
The suspect, Garba Sani, complained that the N12,000 he received as salary from the company is too small to feed, hence he had no choice but to take to crime.

He said, “I’m not an armed robber. I was on duty and I called them (other suspects) and we took the goods. We did not carry guns. We have a lot of senators looting and we also need money. There are many thieves in Nigeria and most of us are jobless youths, we have nothing."

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, told Punch that Sani, Okwudili, along with the other suspects, Obinna Ilojebe, Ndubuisi Ike and Anthony Etemah were arrested following thorough investigation which lasted for over eight months.

The suspects will be charged to court and no hope for pardon for them as they are not big men. Follow @todaysgist
