Two individuals have been apprehended by the Ogun State police for their involvement in the theft of a truck owned by the Dangote Cement Factory in Ibese.
Omolola Odutola, the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Police, has identified the two suspects as Lawal and Mohammed Ndatotu.
Odutola explained that the truck driver, who is affiliated with Dangote Cement’s transport department in Ibese, reported the theft of his truck bearing registration number KPF 237 XA. The incident occurred when he had left the vehicle with his two assistants, Mohammed Lawal and Ismail.
“Upon returning to the parking area on October 29, 2023, the driver discovered that his truck had been taken to an unknown location, and the two motorboys had absconded,” Odutola said.
She added: “One Lawal and Mohammed Ndatotu were later tracked and apprehended at Ogbere by the Ogbere Divisional Police Officer.”
According to her, the two suspects have since “confessed to stealing the vehicle from its parked location.”
She added that the police have commenced investigations into the matter while taking the necessary actions in accordance with the law.
