Operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Ekiti State Police Command have arrested two suspects involved in siphoning petrol from the generating plants used in powering street lights in Ado Ekiti, the State capital.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Sunday Abutu, revealed this in a statement on Thursday where he explained that the two suspects, Danjuma and Idowu, were arrested on Wednesday by men of RRS along NTA Road, Ado Ekiti while trying to get away with a 25 litre gallon containing petrol suspected to have been siphoned from the generating set.
According to Anutu, the suspects confessed during interrogation that they committed the crime and that they have been selling the stolen diesel to unsuspecting residents of Ado-Ekiti, for some time.
He noted that the suspects will be arraigned in due course while urging Ekiti residents to be security conscious and endeavor to report any improper incident around them to security operatives to take necessary actions.
