Suspected Phone Thief Posts Selfie On Victim’s Instagram by Flame4chi(m): 4:04am On Jul 22, 2016 |
The Lagos State Police Command is on the trail of a
suspected burglar who allegedly posted his picture on
the Instagram account of his victim.
The command is working on the lead that the suspect,
whose name had yet to be identified, mistakenly
posted the picture with one of the phones reportedly
stolen from the victim, Sam Abimbola.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the suspect had sneaked into
the victim’s residence on Ago Palace Way, Okota,
Lagos, at about 3am on Tuesday, carting away
phones, a laptop and a passport.
The burglar was said to have gained entry into the
apartment through the kitchen.
He also reportedly made away with Abimbola’s wife’s
jewellery and the identity card of his sister-in-law, who
lived with the family.
While lamenting the loss, Abimbola reportedly got a
call at about 7am from a friend, who alerted him to a
picture posted with one of the stolen phones on his
(Abimbola’s) Instagram page.
Abimbola told our correspondent that he had woken
up around 5am to prepare for work when he
discovered the house had been burgled.
He said, “I slept around 2am on that day and my
sister-in-law woke me up around 5am, saying that her
bag was scattered in the living room. That was when I
discovered that a burglar had entered into my
apartment. He cut through the window and got access
into the house through the kitchen.
“He entered into my bedroom, stole my passport,
laptop, two phones – a Samsung Note 5 and a
Samsung tablet – my sister-in-law’s ID card and her
money. The burglar also stole my wife’s accessories
and took some bottles of water from the fridge.
“I don’t know the extent of what was stolen from my
wife’s valuables because she was not around. He
ransacked a bag where my credentials were but
fortunately, he didn’t go with them.
“Around 7am, he mistakenly posted his picture on my
Instagram account with my phone. I am sure he must
have used the phone to take the picture.
“I have reported to the police at the Ago Palace
division and some of the policemen said he was a
known face at a joint in the area.”
The sister-in-law, who did not want her name in print,
urged the police to track down the suspect and bring
him to book.
“I am certain he was the one who attacked our house.
He could not have sold the phone to somebody before
7am when he posted the picture,” she added.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer,
Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed the burglary to our
correspondent, said the police were on the trail of the
suspect.
Badmos, a Superintendent of Police, added that the
Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, had instructed
the division to transfer the case to the Special Anti-
Robbery Squad at the command headquarters in Ikeja.
She said, “The victim reported the matter at the
station and the police will ensure that the suspect is
tracked down. The CP has instructed that the case
should be transferred to SARS in Ikeja for discreet
investigation.” Source: http://punchng.com/suspected-phone-thief-posts-selfie-victims-instagram/
