Motorcycle thief: If I Steal Again, I’ll Give My Head To Ogun

Shittu Ibrahim, a motorcycle technician, was apprehended by the Oyo State Command of the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), also known as the Amotekun Corps, for stealing motorcycles and making a promise not to do any crimes again.

At Okeho town in the Oke Ogun region of Oyo State, the security personnel had captured the suspect with three complete bikes and three others that had been disassembled and had components sold as scrap.

In a conversation with the Tribune, Kazeem Akinro, the State deputy commandant of Amotekun, said that the security agency was aware of Ibrahim’s reputation for stealing motorbikes.

“Ibrahim often took bikes from where they were parked,” Akinro said. Since then, we have been searching for him in the hope that we would eventually find him.

“He was ultimately located, and with him were three motorcycles. There were also pieces of those that had previously been disassembled. He was tracked using one of the confiscated motorcycles, and the owners arrived to verify it by displaying legitimate papers.

Ibrahim, he added, will be turned over to the police for further inquiry.

It is true that I stole bikes, Ibrahim remarked as he described his suffering. This year, I first did it. My arrest was simply bound to happen. Six or seven of them were taken by me.
