The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly stealing 14 used female pants.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, made this known in a statement on Saturday.
Oyeyemi said that the suspect, Adeniyi Muhammed, was arrested following a report by one of his victims, Amudalat Opaleye.
The PPRO said Opaleye, a resident of Kano Street in the Ayetoro area of the state, lodged a complaint at the Ayetoro Police Station on Tuesday that the suspect sneaked into her room and stole her pants but was caught while trying to sneak out of the room.

“A search warrant was executed in his dwelling house and another 14 used woman pants were recovered there,” the police spokesperson noted, adding, “the suspect has confessed to the commission of the crime but claimed that he was sent by somebody to get those pants for him. Effort is on top gear to get his so-called accomplice arrested.”
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has directed that the suspect be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
