Police Arrest Metal Drainage Cover Thieves In Lagos (Photos) by saphiere(op): 8:29pm On Sep 26, 2023
In a swift early morning operation today, the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) successfully apprehended two individuals who were caught red-handed stealing fabricated metal drainage covers in the affluent area of Ikate, Lekki.

At approximately 5:00 a.m., RRS patrol units, while conducting routine surveillance along Freedom Way, noticed suspicious activity involving a mini-bus, commonly referred to as "korope," bearing the registration number KTU 45 YD. The occupants of the vehicle, later identified as Jubreel Haruna (29) and Adewale Rabiu (27), were seen loading the metal drainage covers into their vehicle.

The quick-thinking RRS operatives wasted no time in accosting the suspects, preventing them from making away with the valuable materials. The suspects were taken into custody without incident.

Following their arrest, both Jubreel Haruna and Adewale Rabiu were promptly charged and are now facing prosecution in accordance with the directives of Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi. The charges filed against the suspects underline the seriousness with which the authorities are treating this case of attempted theft.

Metal drainage covers, often targeted by thieves due to their scrap value, pose a significant safety risk when removed from their designated locations. Such thefts can lead to accidents and damage to public infrastructure, underscoring the importance of the RRS's proactive efforts to curb this illegal activity.

Local residents and authorities have praised the Rapid Response Squad for their swift response and commitment to maintaining the security and integrity of the community. This incident serves as a reminder that law enforcement agencies remain vigilant in safeguarding public property and deterring criminal activity in the area.

Just to satisfy the needs of a woman, some men will just involve themselves in very unpleasant acts. So unfortunate.

Things women make men do.

Notwithstanding, every form of criminality should not be allowed. They should be dealt with thoroughly. Wether Emeka, Ngozi, Abiodun or Musa. They should be dealt with.

And they will be the first to blame the government for not working.

They MUST be Obidient. Heavy enemies of progress. See as they Laboured in vain.

They should be slammed with life imprisonment.

They are a danger to the rest of the society while the prison will keep them fed.

Problem solved.

They go by many names,
the Brits call them skullaships because they excel in education even more than the brits,
the Americans call them aphongizy, Americans feels the nick name is a good fit,
the Arabs call them accommodators, cos they were given the freedom to migrate to their region and excel,
The Chinese call them the sophisticated, because of their passion to invent sophisticated gadjet,
The Italians call them cone headed creatures, because the slender nature of their help prove to be a revolution process of humans,
The Germans call them brown roof reps because of their architectural advancement.
