A houseboy is currently wanted by Police officers after he planned with two other boys to steal a vehicle belonging to his employer.
Although his accomplices were nabbed by Police officers yesterday at Ladipo market in Mushin area of Lagos as they were about to sell off the Highlander SUV, the houseboy who is simply known as Goodluck is still on the run.
Narrating how the incident occurred back in April, Goodluck’s employer, Mrs. Abiola Abegunde, stated that she had gone to fix her phone in the morning of April 29. So, she left her daughter and mother in the company of her houseboy.
“ I was within the vicinity when I heard the sound of our gate opened. When I looked closely I saw the house boy Goodluck, opening the gate for my father’s highlander jeep to go out of the compound. Suspecting the boys reversing the jeep, I started shouting thief! But to my greatest surprise, the houseboy was with them.
“They reversed the vehicle out of the street into the adjoining street which is Busari street, where the house-boy stood. He was also shouting thief, to convince passers-by,” Abiola said.
She immediately reported the matter to police officers at Igando Police station in Lagos.
In his reaction to the arrest of the two boys, Lagos Police Spokesperson, DSP Elkana Bala, explained stated, “Luckily on May 1, 2019, at about 5:30 pm, one Arifayan Tosin went to Ladipo market, Mushin, to sell the said Toyota highlander jeep with registration number LSR392DE with pretence that his father instructed him to sell the car.”
However, when the intending buyer decided to call the number he saw in the particulars of the vehicle, he was told that the SUV had been stolen from a location around the Igando area.
Bala continued, “Immediately, he contacted the Area Commander D, Mushin, who mobilised policemen and got the first suspect arrested. Further investigation led to the arrest of the second suspect Ramond Ado, a security guard with Fundamental Guard attached to Ajose street Mende, Maryland . Efforts are still on to arrest fleeing Goodluck”.
