Ondo State

A 17-year-old boy, Sunday Adegbulu, who specialises in vandalizing and stealing electric installations, has been electrocuted in Akure, Ondo State capital while attempting to steal an armoured cable from a transformer.

He said: “We were three in number, and we were to sell the electricity transformer cable for N25,000 to Mr. Abubakar. It was my second operation. During my first operation, we vandalised and stole the electrical installation of an uncompleted building. “After a lot of trailing, we arrested him because the moment it happened, he was rushed to three different hospitals, and when they got wind of the fact that detectives from the Amotekun corps were on their trail, they moved him out of Akure. We also trailed him to the location and brought him into a very terrible state.

“Out of these 45 suspects, seven are already in court, but we needed them to shed light on our ongoing investigation, so we sought the leave of the court to allow us a few more days, which was granted. That’s why they’re part of this group of 45 suspects. As soon as we complete the investigation, all of them will be taken to court to face the full wrath of the law.”Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
