The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday arrested a driver, Ada Joseph aged 27 in Ikeja, Lagos for attempting to sell his former employer’s car.
Acting on intelligence, the RRS operatives nabbed the suspect around 1:AM
According to RRS, Ada stole the former boss’s Toyota Camry, 2015 model from where it was parked in Osapa, London, Lekki, Lagos around 7:00 a.m.
By 11:00 a.m. he was in Central Business District, Alausa to sell the vehicle to a willing buyer.
The employer had sometime in June, 2024 sacked Ada after about a year of working with him. Unknown to the boss, Ada, his driver, had hatched a plan and duplicated the car key.
The suspect confessed to the crime and disclosed that he wanted to use the proceeds of the sale to bury his late father.
The owner was later alerted, and both the suspect as well as the recovered vehicle have been transferred to the State Command for further investigation.
