The state police PRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the suspect was arrested with his three accomplices by the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
Quoting him, “Samuel was arrested in the Ogba area of the state with three others: Benjamin Bassey, 32; Chukwuemeka Okorie, 29; and Joshua Agboche, 37, who had conspired with him to sell the car.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect who works in his boss’ car wash in Egbeda drove the car containing his boss’ iPhone X and iPhone 13 to Bassey’s house in Ikeja in the middle of the night.
