Detectives attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad
(SARS), Lagos State Police Command, have arrested a man, Andrew Agofure,
suspected to have burgled a house at Lekki-Ajah area of the metropolis
and stole a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon valued at N37 million.
But
Agofure has denied the allegation. Police said they were also looking
for another suspect, identified simply as Patrick. The police believe
that the fleeing Patrick masterminded the robbery. .
A
source said: “We didn’t, however, give up. We kept digging and finally
tracked the car to Nasarawa State. We were shocked that the jeep had
been moved from Lagos to Nasarawa State. .
When
we discovered that it had been placed online for sale, we swung into
action. Although it was moved to Nasarawa State, it was displayed at a
car mart in Abuja.” .
The police
alleged that Patrick drove the vehicle from Lekki-Ajah in Lagos State to
Nasarawa State but placed at a car mart in Abuja for sale. The police
disclosed that the jeep, which was N37 million, was placed on the online
mart for N15 million. .
According to
NewTelegraph, the team of detectives that cracked the case was led by a
Deputy Superintendent Police (DSP), Mr. Akinola Aduroja.
Aduroja
said: “We posed as buyers that wanted to buy the jeep for N15 million
online. We arrested the suspect when he came to sell the jeep to us. The
jeep, whose location was Abuja, was recovered in a forest in Nasarawa
State around midnight.”
