Mechanic Drives Customer’s Car From Lagos To Ogun, Gets Arrested While Trying To Dismantle It

A 27-year-old mechanic, Abiodun Ajao, has been arrested and taken into custody by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ogun State Command.

Abiodun , who was arrested on Friday, had driven a customer’s vehicle with number plate Lagos BDG 956-FJ from Lagos to Idona, Ijebu Imusin, Ogun State and he was already dismantling it before getting apprehended.

Spokesman for Ogun  State NSCDC Command, Dyke Ogbonnaya, disclosed this in a statement he issued in Abeokuta  on Friday.

‘The suspect who intentionally drove the said vehicle from Lagos to Idona, Ijebu Imusin, Ogun State, had already started dismantling it for sale to intending buyers before he was arrested’ he submitted while adding that Abiodun also gave an excuse that the car engine had knocked hence the decision to dismantle it.

, ‘The engine of the vehicle is bad, and I was just trying to find some buyers for the parts since the engine is knocked and unusable’ he said..

Ogbonnaya however noted that the suspect disclosed that the vehicle was brought to him for repairs, and he was test-driving it to see if it was working perfectly fine.

‘I have already driven the car to some distant parts of Lagos with passengers before bringing it down to Ijebu Imusin and en route Epe road before I was caught while dismantling the engine and other parts of the vehicle’ Ogbonnaya quoted Abiodun as saying while adding that he later confessed to committing the crime and has been pleading with the NSCDC officers to save him from the precarious situation-Team@orientactualmags.com
