A suspected car thief, Joseph Ada, arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, has disclosed that he intends to use the proceeds from selling his former boss’ car to fund his father’s burial.
This was disclosed in a statement made available on the RRS Facebook page on Friday.
According to the statement, Ada had duplicated the key of the vehicle while working as a driver to his former boss before he was sacked in June.
Ada allegedly stole the vehicle on Wednesday where it was parked in the Lekki area of the state and proceeded to Ikeja to sell the car.
He was, however, apprehended by the RRS operatives who were acting on actionable intelligence.
The statement read, “Around 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, operatives of Rapid Response Squad, who were acting on intelligence arrested one Ada Joseph, 27 in Ikeja, Lagos for trying to sell his former boss’s car.
