Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An auto mechanic has assisted operatives of the Ogun State police Command in arresting one Mr Wariz Taofeek who allegedly stole a mini bus.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson in Ogun, Omolola Odutola said on Friday that the suspect was apprehended on November 7, 2023 through the \u201cbrilliant verification skill of an automobile engineer in Ifo, Ogun State\u201d.<\/p>\n

Odutola stated that the Divisional Police Officer in Ifo nabbed the suspect while he was making attempts to alter the body of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to her, the mechanic had become suspicious when Taofeek and another individual brought the mini bus marked, BDG 104 YH, to his workshop for repairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cRealizing that the vehicle might be stolen, the mechanic requested the necessary documents from the suspects, before he could commence repairs, which they were unable to provide. He also asked for the phone number of the rightful owner of the bus, but the suspects could not provide any particulars.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an attempt to deceive the mechanic, the suspects asked to use the mechanic phone to call the owner of the bus, hoping to insert their own SIM card. However, the mechanic\u2019s quick wits allowed him to see through their ruse, and the suspect managed to escape the scene,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The mechanic alerted the police, who swung into action and eventually apprehended Wariz.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the interrogation, Wariz confessed to have stolen the bus from Ikorodu,\u201d the police spokesperson confirmed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, \u201chas expressed his admiration for the mechanic\u2019s assistance in apprehending the culprits\u201d, encouraging other artisans to follow his example.<\/p>\n
