The Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, otherwise known as So-Safe Corps has arrested an 18-year-old ex-convict, Abdullahi Idowu, for alleged theft.

Idowu and his accomplice, Samson Ojo, 17, were arrested for stealing generator engine parts at the Idiroko border area in Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.

The Corps Commander, Soji Ganzallo, disclosed this in a statement signed by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Assistant Commander Moruf Yusuf on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

“Abdullahi Idowu, 18, a resident of Babaloke area, Idiroko, and Samson Ojo, 17, residing at Etikoto, Ikolaje area, Idiroko—were apprehended around 10:30 p.m. on November 17, 2024. Both locations fall under the Ipokia Local Government Area,” the statement read.

“The suspects were caught during a joint routine patrol by the Special Squad and the Idiroko Divisional Team of the Corps, led by Chief Superintendent Abdulkareem Abdulrazaq.

“Upon their arrest, they were found with two bags containing stolen generator engine parts.”

Ganzallo revealed that a preliminary investigation revealed that Idowu is an ex-convict who previously served a jail term in Benin Republic.

During interrogation, the ex-convict was said to have confessed to stealing the generator engine parts from the Idiroko border area and admitted to stealing a large battery the previous Friday, which he sold to a scrap dealer

The suspects were said to have been taken to the scene of the theft in Idiroko, where it was confirmed that the stolen generator parts belonged to a customs office. Additional parts of the generator were discovered in a nearby bush.

Ganzallo further stated that the suspects, along with the recovered items, have been transferred to the Nigeria Customs Service, Ogun Area 1 Command, Idiroko, for further investigation.
