Police apprehend  teenager in Ogun for stealing parents’ properties. 

Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 17-year-old boy named Ayomiposi Esan for stealing various items, including a Toyota Corolla car, three mobile phones, two generator sets, and a sound system, all belonging to his parents.

 The incident took place in Ogijo, Sagamu Local Government Area of the state when the teenager broke into the house in the middle of the night while his parents were asleep on Sunday September 3, 2023.

Ayomiposi also allegedly locked his parents inside their house and fled with the stolen items.

A source in the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that it required a collaborative effort from other residents to free the parents from the apartment.

“The boy had successfully sold one generator set he stole. The father is preventing the police from prosecuting the son after his arrest. The police wanted the boy to be prosecuted for his action, but the parents said they wanted him to be released along with the stolen items.” 

Omolola Odutola, the state public relations officer who confirmed the incident said:

“The course of the investigation was truncated by the complainant, who was equally the biological father of the suspect, as he vehemently declined prosecution of his son, one Ayomiposi Esan. He wanted his son and the recovered stolen goods, including the car, released.”
