Operatives of the Ebute Ero Police Division have arrested a man identified as Jackson Abraham for the unlawful possession of a stolen vehicle, recovered during a routine surveillance patrol.
The arrest occurred when officers on patrol observed a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, ash in colour, being driven under suspicious circumstances.
Acting on instinct and reasonable suspicion, the officers intercepted the vehicle and questioned the suspect.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the vehicle had been unlawfully taken from a motor park in Ogun State without the knowledge or consent of its rightful owner.
Further inquiry uncovered that both the suspect and the vehicle owner reside at the same address, raising additional concerns over the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The vehicle was recovered in good condition and has since been secured at the station as part of ongoing investigations.
The owner of the vehicle, who had previously filed a report of the missing car with the Ogun State Police Command, has been notified and is currently assisting with the investigation.
Meanwhile, the suspect remains in custody as arrangements are being finalised to transfer both him and the recovered vehicle to the Ogun State Police Command, which is handling the original case.
The matter is expected to progress swiftly as authorities continue their investigation into the incident.
