The Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, has apprehended a 25-year-old Quack auxiliary nurse, Jimoh Akeem, for allegedly stealing a motorbike, popularly known as an okada, in Ondo town.
In his confession at the Amotekun Headquarters in Akure, Akeem said, “I went to steal a motorcycle at Ajagbale Quarter in Ondo town. This is my first time committing robbery, and I stole just one motorcycle.
“I started this year, and so far I have stolen three motorcycles. My partner and I went into the owner’s compound at night to steal the okada.
“They suspected me on the street. We usually go out randomly to search for okadas.
“I have a buyer in Abeokuta who buys the motorcycles from me whenever I steal one.
“I have also stolen clothes, which I sell to some women who buy them from me. Whenever I go to people’s homes to steal clothes, I have two receivers who buy the aso-okes from me for 300,000 naira each time.
“During my operations, I steal motorcycles, and my buyer in Abeokuta purchases them for 450,000 naira each. We enter the compound at night where the owners park them, so we don’t go through the gate. We don’t hijack the bikes from anyone.
“I also steal clothes, and these women act as my receivers when I go and collect aso-oke from people’s houses. I even steal generators at night as well.
“I usually operate alone for most of the robberies. But for one of the motorcycles they found with me, I went with my colleagues.
“I am an auxiliary nurse and work at Ogunye Hospital. I had no specific reason for stealing. The name of the buyer in Ijebu Ode is Goma; I know him through a friend.
“I have been arrested here before, so this is my second time being arrested on suspicion of stealing”, he confessed.
