Operatives of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Corps have arrested one Godwin, allegedly disguised as mentally unstable, in possession of 27 SIM cards.

The agency, in a statement seen by PUNCH Metro on Tuesday, stated that the suspect, who identified himself as a native of Ughelli Local Government Area in Delta State, had been under surveillance for over a month.

This arrest followed the receipt of reports from some residents of the Epe area of Lagos about the suspicious behaviour of Godwin.

The LNSC disclosed that Godwin reportedly took shelter in an abandoned security post located near the T-junction in Epe.

He was reported to be seen discreetly changing his clothes each morning and frequently engaging in late-night phone conversations.

Acting on the tip-off, the operatives of the Epe command, during a routine patrol on Monday, found the suspect temporarily absent from his usual spot and decided to search the security post where the SIM cards were discovered.


“On May 5, during a routine patrol, officers were informed by residents that the suspect was temporarily absent from the area. Acting swiftly, the patrol team searched the structure and discovered 27 registered SIM cards concealed within a section of a block wall.


“Officers were immediately dispatched, and Mr Godwin was arrested shortly after his return to the location. During interrogation, he confirmed his identity and background but declined to reveal the location of any mobile phones linked to the SIM cards,” the statement partly read.

The statement added that a local food vendor corroborated reports of the suspect’s strange behaviour, noting that he often appeared mentally sound despite his erratic lifestyle.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the agency, Oloruntoba Runsewe, said the suspect had been handed over to the police.

She said, “He is no longer in our custody. He has been handed over to the police for further investigation.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest.
He however said, “Our preliminary investigation so far shows that he is a bit mentally unstable and he is homeless and there is no evidence to point to the fact that he is a kidnapper. The claim is for now baseless.”

They should do their investigation but then he's a lunatic now, is he supposed to have just one or two sim cards like normal humans? Hell No

Those 27 sims is a gateway to something more sinister if the police can carry out a thorough investigation

We all need to be security conscious at every point in time

The man above is not a lunatic.
That is a camouflage pattern to disguise himself,put the sime cards inside mobile phones,and track their last calls,you will find answers to what you are looking for.

He should be treated as an innocent man while the call made through the registered sim cards are tracked. He also may be mentally unstable as these kind of people are known to be obssessed with one object or the other. Maybe in his case, he was obssessed with sim card, registserd or not.

Dem don nab the werey

That was the same format of CLIFFORD ORJI by the bridge on Airport road in those days.

Squeeze him very well.

Partially mentally unstable persons are usually obsessed with a particular item. It maybe sim cards he has been picking on the floors for years.

Let the police investigate the matter thoroughly to know the truth.

27 SIM cards is too much haba, na only you Waka come. Are the sim cards still active? Let them trace or track the call history on each sim and get information about the real owner of the sim if dead or alive. He cant own 27 SIMs.

But what if he's with one or two sims, would they have arrested him too?

At the end of the story, nothing will come out. Nobi today, all those pretenders are well connected.

Does Mad person has right to own sim card?

Waoh! Lunatic indeed! Just like the ones who predicted Obi as President back then!

And some of their colleagues believed them!

He is disguising as a lunatic

Were dey disguise come dey change cloth anyhow like who dey do naming.

Nigeria and very poor investigating methods, you suspected someone after a tip off, after a full month of investigating this man, you couldn't assertain if he has lots of sims until after arresting him before you found the sim, someone who makes frequent night calls, yet you couldn't trace a phone to the person. We are yet to be ready in this country.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest.
He however said, “Our preliminary investigation so far shows that he is a bit mentally unstable and he is homeless and there is no evidence to point to the fact that he is a kidnapper. The claim is for now baseless.”

So why all the noise if the police have not been able to establish any criminal act against him.
Having 27sim cards may be suspicious but that's not a crime.

He's from that region abi?

End time "lunatic"

Get 27 mobile phones and put all the SIM and make sure he answers his call while in detention

He's making calls to the gods

Clifford Orji II

Be that as it may, he should be let free since he has broken no law. People who have actually broken laws were simply "quizzed".
