The Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, also known as So-Safe Corps, has apprehended a suspected serial motorcycle thief in Ogun State and recovered stolen exhibits.
This was contained in a press statement from the office of the State Commander of the Corps, Dr. Soji Ganzallo, released by the Director of Information and Public Relations, Assistant Commander Moruf Yusuf.
According to Commander Ganzallo, the Ado-Odo/Igbesa Area Commander, ACC Oluti Kehinde, received a report from a complainant (name withheld) about the theft of a specific “lady” motorcycle.
Acting swiftly, the Area Commander ordered the Corps’ surveillance team to be on high alert and patrol the area. Subsequently, on 7th August, 2025, at about 2:30 am, the surveillance team arrested one Falade Wasiu, male, a resident of Akashu Village, Ado-Odo, along Ado-Odo town road in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area. He was found in possession of the stolen “lady” motorcycle with registration number MUS 398 QP, a black plastic TVS, three gas lighters, and an MTN SIM card.
During preliminary investigation, the suspect confessed that he conspired with an accomplice identified as Wale to steal the motorcycle from Ajegunle, a community within Atan-Ota metropolis, about five months ago. He revealed that they scaled the perimeter fence of the premises before taking the motorcycle, which had been kept in an uncompleted building since the theft. The Corps intercepted him on his way to Oshodi, where he intended to sell the motorcycle.
The suspect further admitted to having stolen motorcycles in the past and disclosed that he had once escaped from police custody.
Commander Ganzallo confirmed that the suspect and the recovered exhibits have been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force, Ado-Odo Division, for further investigation and possible prosecution.
