The arrest came on the heels of the receipt of credible information by officers of Mushin Division who promptly mobilized to the scene. A statement released by SP Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesperson of the command, says items recovered from the suspect include a red Toyota Camry without number plate. Also missing from the vehicle were the engine, brain box and the two front tyres.

Further investigation revealed that the mechanic, after receiving the vehicle from the owner for repairs, proceeded to Ladipo Spare Parts Market to sell off the vehicle in parts.

Hundeyin added that the suspect will be arraigned at the conclusion of investigations.
