A man, Sunday Adewale, a vulcanizer at Oke Ureje, in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state, was arrested on Friday while trying to escape with a man’s motorcycle parked in front of the Government house in Ado Ekiti.
An eye witness, told our correspondent that it was one of the policemen at the government police post that first saw him struggling with the locked motorcycle as he was pushing it away even with the neck lock.
Apparently suspecting the accused as he was struggling with the machine, the policeman queried him and in an attempt to get closer to him, the man left the machine and took to his heels.
He was eventually arrested through the help of some men in old Governor’s office who chased him up to Atikankan area of the metropolis where he was caught through the intervention of some OPC Boys who were in their office.
When interviewed by our correspondent he confessed to the crime, saying it was the work of the devil, ” I am vulcanizer at Oke Ureje in Ado Ekiti. My name is Sunday Adewale, everything is the work of the devil because i don’t know what pushed me to steal the motorcycle”.
It however gathered that the government house policemen have since handed him over to the police station at Okesha area of the state capital for further interrogation and prosecution.
