Yinka Adesola who is age 19 and his aide Ahmed Olaleye who is age 17 were arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
The teenagers and other four suspects allegedly burgled Angus Memorial Senior High School,in Somolu,Lagos.
Lukman Sokoya, Ismaila Adebowale, Wasiu Adejare and Ramon Mukaila are the four other suspects who allegedly committed the act.
Last week Wednesday, the police nabbed Yinka Adesola and his aide after they allegedly stole seven computes, a scanner, laptops and a printer from the public secondary school.
According to our sources, Yinka denied he committed the alleged crime in a police statement, he said:
“I knew I had wayward friends who could put me into trouble. I accommodated Olaleye when the people he was staying with relocated from Somolu. I offered to assist him because he was my junior in secondary school.“Immediately he moved into my apartment, things started going wrong. Neighbours started losing their phones and money. Later, we discovered that he was the one behind the thefts. My parents asked me to eject him and I did.“But before this time, he had brought seven laptops, a scanner, a desktop computer, and a printer to my room. Although I saw the name of the school on the items, I thought since he was always visiting the school, they gave them to him. I did not know they were stolen.“When I did not see him for a long time, I attempted to sell the items. I had sold some of them, but others were just lying in the room. I also gave some out to friends and people that I thought could help to sell them.”
According to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmus who confirmed the arrests said:
“The command will ensure that criminal elements have no hiding place in the state. The suspects will be charged to court at the end of investigations."
