AN attempt by Ayodele Augustine, a self-acclaimed 500 level student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) to run the business of a handsets trader aground has been thwarted by policemen from Oyo State Police Command, with 69 assorted mobile phones recovered from him.

The police commissioner said that the 500 level student was among the suspects paraded by the command on October 13, 2014.

The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kola Shodipo, who disclosed this to Crime Reports said that the suspected burglar was nabbed at Apata junction in Ibadan, Oyo State, on October 8, 2014, at about 4a.m. after he was sighted by a patrol team attached to Apata Division, strapping a bag to his back.

“After conducting an on-the-spot search and interrogation, 69 assorted handsets were found in the bag of the final year student, including equipment that could be used to burgle a house,” he added.

When interrogated by the police on the items learnt, Augustine could offer any explanation, leading to the suspicion that the items must have been stolen.

Preliminary investigation into the case revealed that a shop belonging to one Kingsley (surname withheld) was burgled at about 3a.m. at Apata area of Ibadan, Oyo State and the handsets were carted away from the shop.

Mr Shodipo said that the suspect would be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department, Iyaganku, Ibadan for further investigations where he would further assist the police in their investigations.

Attempts by Crime Reports to interview the suspect were rebuffed, as he tersely replied that he had nothing to say.

You chose the wrong path young man. Unfortunately, the law will not listen to any excuse you have to give because you were caught with enough evidence unless you can prove otherwise.

O boy....dis boy get fones pass slot oh

Most of those phones are not even functioning well no be Kingsley own am?

Dexpro:

Effects of Frustration

Really.

I think that's the least if his problems now.


PS hope this isn't a publicity stunt. In short PIC if him holding the I.d card infront of his dept or.........

Wen I read/ watch police reports, I sumtyms shed tears, police ar d biggest liars dis world can eva know. Afta readin dis story lemme tell u my own conclusion.

The suspect is a fone repairer, he must av sumhow got himsef entangled wit a police officer or sumone hu knows a top police officer. The suspect might trully be a student n he repairs fone to see himself tru sch, I suspect d suspect to be an electrical student. Upon accosting him, he was asked to provide d receipts of d fones in his custody n wen he failed to do dat, he was labelled a fon thief n taken to d station. On d equipments dat cud be used to burgle a house, I see dos equipments as his workin tools (dos tiny screw drivers n dia lyks). On d burgled fone store, dat must av bin a story made up by d police officer.

I don't believe police report until I hear from d suspects demsefs in d absence of d police men. Not even written statements as most statements ar written under diuress.

De kip arresting d innocent n dos striving to survive while d real thieves drives big cars on d road.

Naija I de hail.

Nice point...but its still a probability

And considering the fact that FUNAAB doesnt offer Engineering courses

If trully FUNAAB does not offer engineerin courses, den d suspect may av said dos words as a bailout to maybe a toughg inhuman interrogation.

IT is a school of Agriculture because it has special grants to practice agriculture to the core; enough fields,mechanical devices and the lecturers( Prof. Adebambo and co) are something else when it comes to agriculture. Infact, I didn't like taking a stroll with my friends that were studying agriculture cos they will give you a thorough analysis of any tree,leaf , soil we come across. I can beat my chest for any one that studied agric.there.

Sciences and engineering is well practiced too in a very standard way but not all engineering courses are available (no chemical engineering for example) and no medicine and clinical sciences too.
