Nigerian Police Officer Arrested For Stealing & Selling Seized Motorcycle In Lagos



                                


A police corporal attached to the Ikorodu Divisional Police Station, Igbogbo Road, Ikorodu Area of Lagos State, South-west Nigeria, Goroye Folagbade, has been arrested and detained for allegedly stealing and selling a motorcycle belonging to Saheed Owolabi.
The Operation Officer of the Police Division, Ebuwa Vincent, was said to have seized the motorcycle from Saheed a few days after Christmas because he violated traffic law but could not produce the motorcycle afterwards, claiming that it had been taken to Alausa whereas the motorcycle had been stolen and sold.

after several failed attempts to recover the seized motorcycle, Saheed eventually found his motorcycle with another commercial motorcyclist, Ismail Olomitutu, at Anibaba area of Ikorodu on Thursday, 10 January, 2013 and he raised an alarm, saying he was the rightful owner of the motorcycle.
It was  gathered that Ismail was interrogated before he eventually confessed that it was one of the station guards, Goroye Folagbade, who sold the motorcycle to him for N55,000.
Goroye later confessed to have committed the said criminal act when he was summoned by the Divisional Crime Officer, DCO of Igbogbo Divisional Headquarters after which he was arrested and detained at the same police station.
According to  reliable sources, “Goroye does not know how to ride a motorcycle so, he probably must have asked Ismail to come for the motorcycle inside the police station when no one was suspecting. Even the OPS in charge may have connived with him to dispatch the motorcycle because he lied to the owner of the motorcycle that it had been taken to Alausa.” the Lagos State Capital.

 French President, Francois Hollande said on Tuesday that France will wrap up its intervention in Mali and pull its forces out once the West African country has returned to being stable and safe with a solid political system, 
Hollande's statement, in response to a question on how long French forces could be deployed in Mali, suggested France could have a major role in its former colony for longer than the several weeks his government has so far indicated.

"As soon as there is an African force, in the coming days or weeks, that is backed by the international community and by Europe, France will not have a reason to stay in Mali," he told a news conference during a visit to the United Arab Emirates.
"We have one goal, however. To ensure that when we leave, when we end our intervention, Mali is safe, has legitimate authorities, an electoral process and there are no more terrorists threatening its territory," Hollande said.
France hit rebels with more air strikes and sent in armored cars on day five of its effort to help the Malian government quash a push south by the Islamists, as regional allies struggled to speed up deployment of their troops.
Malian soldiers helped by French troops, move a broken helicopter out a hangar to make room for more incoming troops at Bamako's airport Tuesday Jan. 15. 2013. French forces led an all-night aerial bombing campaign Tuesday to wrest control of a small Malian town from armed Islamist extremists who seized the area, including its strategic military camp.

Hollande, who said the United Arab Emirates had expressed its support for France's Mali campaign, said rebel fighters could be taken prisoner in some cases but the main goal was to "destroy" them.
