By James Ogunnaike, Abeokuta
Detectives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested an absconding trailer driver and four other suspects for allegedly stealing and dismantling a trailer, uncovering what authorities described as a suspected criminal syndicate specialising in dismantling stolen trailers and disposing of their parts.
The suspects were identified as Temitope Omotayo Odulaja, 47; Segun Suleiman, 27; Haruna Olaogun, 49; Jimoh Wasiu, 42; and Quazzim Suleiman, 49.
Police said the operation, carried out by detectives attached to the Ifo Divisional Headquarters, also led to the recovery of parts of the stolen trailer, including its trailer head, while investigations uncovered a network allegedly involved in dismantling stolen trailers and selling their components.
