Teenagers Sell Stolen Laptop For N2,000 In Lagos by weIMPORT: 5:29am On Sep 06, 2018
Two teenagers who sold a stolen laptop for N2,000, have been arrested by the operatives of the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly breaking into a shop on Jakande Estate, in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State, to steal the laptop.

The police also arrested two others – 27-year-old Adejagun Babatunde and 20-year-old Lawal Wasiu – for allegedly receiving the stolen laptop from the teenage burglars, Punch Metro reports.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, on Wednesday said the case was worrisome because minors were involved.

Imohimi said:

“The command’s operatives attached to the Ejigbo Police Division on September 2, 2018, arrested two teenagers (names withheld), aged 13 and 14, who specialised in breaking into people’s shops.

“Luck ran out on them when they burgled a shop at Block 397, Jakande Estate, Ejigbo, and made away with one generator valued at N15,000; one HP laptop, valued at N90,000; one amplifier, valued at N40,000; and one CD mixer, valued at N150,000.

“The police have arrested their adult collaborators, 27-year-old Adejagun Babatunde and 20-year-old Lawal Wasiu. The two adults bought the stolen HP laptop for N2,000 only. The adult suspects will have their day in court, while the child offenders will be handed over to the gender section for appropriate action.”

One of the teenage burglars, said he took the laptop inside an opened shop, adding that he was accompanied by his friend to a complex at Ejigbo where they were paid N2,000 for the laptop.

The second teenage suspect said he was only involved in selling the laptop.

The buyer of the laptop, Babatunde, said he got to know the boys through Wasiu.

He said:

“Wasiu came to me that the two children wanted to sell a laptop. They told me that they wanted to sell the laptop because they were hungry, adding that the laptop belonged to their brother, who was no longer a deejay.”

Wasiu said:

“The two boys said they were hungry and that I should give them money. I told them that I did not have money and I directed them to Babatunde.”

IF THEY STOLE OUT OF HUNGER, THEY SHOULD BE FED.... flogged BUT fed.

POVERTY is really a state of mental deprivation..... THE LAPTOP could earn them a life time income in a LEGIT way if only they took time to study the softwares or packages inside.

EDUCATION also may have caused this.... they didn't know what they were selling.

At least the teenagers are spared from the NCAN - but Adejagun and Lawal will not be.

NCAN, over to you.

Assuming there is someone's Phd project on that laptop that's how they'd have sold it cheaply after wiping off the data. What a waste.
