An Ogun State-owned security outfit, So-Safe Corps, has arrested a 46-year-old man, Usman Abdullahi, for being in possession of two tricycles in Ijebu-Ode.

The suspect was arrested following a complainant by one Kunle Odemo, who told the So-Safe Corps that his tricycle had been stolen.

The corps’ spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, said, “In the process of tracking the tricycle, the device directed that it was within Sagamu. The officers of the So-Safe Corps swung into action and took along the complainant to Sagamu.

“At Sagamu, the officers met with the Remo Zonal Commander of So-Safe and he assigned them an officer to support them in the mission. The tracker directed them to a house in the Sabo area where the stolen tricycle, with registration number: MEK-642-WV, and another one without a number were found in the possession of Mr Usman Abdullahi.”

Yusuf said the suspect was picked up and taken to the police in Ijebu-Ode with the two tricycles and his car, and that while being interrogated, he told the police that the tricycles were sold to him by one Mr Ugochukwu who he had known for a long time in the Cele area of Lagos.
