23-year-old Godwin Emmanuel has confessed to stealing a police officer’s phone from a patrol van while being transported to the Osun State Police Command.
He was arrested alongside two others, 28-year-old Olajide Kareem and 33-year-old Mike Emmanuel, for allegedly robbing residents along the Ilesa-Osu Expressway in Osun State.
Speaking with newsmen on Friday, November 15, the suspect said: “I was arrested for armed robbery. When I was being transported to the Police Command in Osogbo, inside the police patrol van that I was conveyed, I stole a phone. I don’t know that it is a police phone. I beg, make una no vex.
I told the police not to be angry with me. I don’t know when I did that. I took the phone into the police cell without them knowing. I removed the SIM card, I want to use the phone to call my people because they don’t know I have been arrested for armed robbery.
I have been here for about 2 months. They later came to search me in the cell where I was and discovered the phone on me. Please tell them to forgive me. I won’t do it again.”
