The suspects were arrested at about 0230hrs on Wednesday, September 8, 2022, by police officers on patrol at Oyinkan Abayomi, off Alexander Road, Ikoyi, with a white Volkswagen T4 bus.

The suspects had dug up a 20-meter long telecommunication cable which they were about to move into the white bus. Also found in their possession were two diggers and two shovels.


On interrogation, the driver of the bus, Yekini Mohammed, explained that he was invited to the location by the others who are scrap and metal dealers to pick up scrap materials at different areas in Victoria Island and Ikoyi for delivery at Lakulaku, Obalende, where they sell them off.
