Some police operatives on patrol along Iyana Ipaja area of Lagos State on Friday arrested a suspect, Mr. Ismaila Yusuf, who was accused of stealing an IPhone brand phone from an unsuspecting passenger in a tricycle 2 weeks ago.
According to report, luck ran out of the suspect when the victim shouted to attract sympathizers’ support after sighting him at Iyana Ipaja upon recognition. The attention of the officers was drawn to the scene, and they were said to have immediately swung into action, giving the suspect a hot chase, before his eventual apprehension.
Witnesses at the scene claimed the suspect attempted to bribe his way out through the officers, but the disciplined men of the force rejected his offer out-rightly and took him to the Ipana Ipaja Police Station for further investigation.
