Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, Ekiti State Police Command, have arrested two suspects for siphoning diesel from the generating plants used in powering streetlights in the Ado Ekiti area of the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, on Thursday, said the two suspects, Danjuma and Idowu, were arrested on Wednesday by men of the RRS along the NTA Road, Ado Ekiti, while trying to get away with a 25-litre gallon containing diesel suspected to have been siphoned from the generating set.
Abutu said, “The suspects confessed during interrogation that they committed the crime. The suspects also confessed that they have been selling the stolen diesel to unsuspecting residents of Ado-Ekiti for some time. They will be arraigned in due course.”
Abutu urged residents to be security conscious and endeavour to report any untoward incident around them to security operatives for necessary action.
