Crime: How a Suspected Thief was Nabbed in UNILORIN

It was games up for a suspected 100 level student of the faculty of Agriculture who was allegedly caught trying to dispossess an unsuspecting Unilorin student of his valuable.

This report is an inquest into the drama that played out at the Lagos male hostel around 5am on Wednesday 14th June, 2017.     

It all started when the quiet atmosphere of the Lagos male hostel suddenly evolved into an uproar when the suspect was caught.

Our correspondent who was at the scene gathered that the suspect came to Lecture Theatre 1 in pretext of coming for "night class" while using the opportunity to steal a cellphone from an unsuspecting owner.

According to an eye witnessed, who requested to remain anonymous, he said the suspect boarded a bus off campus coming to school during the night of Tuesday 13th June, 2017. On getting to the school park, he noticed the suspect took a bag not belonging to him, unbeknownst to the suspect that he was being trailed by him (eye witness) to LT1 where he did his night class and kept a watch over him.

While at LT1, an iPhone 4 got missing where the suspect was seated and he claimed to be the owner when he was confronted and the suspect made the statement "do u know who I am, let's go to the security division."

On their way to the security division, the suspect started shouting "thief" while running.This caught the attention of the Muslims observing their morning prayer and he was caught and his bag was collected which contained a Unilorin and an iPhone 4.

Fortunately, he was rescued from the angry mob by the SU President and was taken to the security division.

As at the time of filing this report, the fate of the suspect still remains unknown.
