Police in Akure, Ondo on Wednesday have arrested a 27-year-old student of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), for shoplifting 32 packs of condoms from a city shopping mall.

The lady, whose identity card read as Bibiana Umoh a Mechanical Engineering student of FUTA, was apprehended by mall guards after trying to escape with the items without payments.

Shop guards revealed that the lady who didn't know she was being monitored, pretended several times to be queing behind other customers waiting to pay, while also pretending to be receiving and making phone calls only for her to suddenly make her way through the exit and running off with the items.

Police officers said they were called into the matter because the excuses the suspect gave security guards at the mall were incoherent and contradictory.
“Her reasons for leaving the place with such big items in a paper bag and not paying for it doesn’t make sense to me” Arresting officer, Corporal Adeniyi Ojo told Ascology News.

“Of course, people can forget to pay for items which is not something new but either you return it to the store when you’ve been reminded or you just pay for it; but in her case the way and manner she ran with the items do not tally and the fact she doesn’t have reasonable money for those items isn’t it” he added.
