Police operatives in Ogun State have arrested two brothers Emmanuel Nwachukwu, 28, and Sunday Nwachukwu, 24, for allegedly st£aling a Toyota Camry car, at a car wash.

The siblings were arrested on Wednesday, November 30, while they were driving the said vehicle to Imo State.

The command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement on Thursday, December 1, said the suspects were arrested by men of the Federal Highway patrol, who were on stop-and-search duty along the Lagos/Ibadan highway.

According to Oyeyemi, the suspects had abandoned the car and fled when the vehicle was stopped for routine check at about 11:30 pm.

“While the officers were asking questions from one of them who drove the car, the two brothers, who were the occupants, suddenly abandoned the car and took to their heels.

However, the police went after them, got them arrested and took them to Ewu-Oliwo division for proper interrogation.

On interrogation, the two brothers who live in Fagba, Lagos, confessed st£aling the car from one Bello Muyideen Kolawole of Idimu.

When contacted by the DPO of Ewu-Oliwo division, CSP Toyosi Bello, the said owner of the car had confirmed that the siblings were working at a car wash near his shop; adding that they ran away with the car when he took it to them for washing,” he said.
