The man, who identified himself as Lanrewaju
Jaiyeola, 39, was intercepted by the police following
the suspicious manner in which he carried a
backpack along Ozumba Mbadiwe road.
The Vanguard reports that a reliable police source
said 22 assorted credit cards, one Nokia phone, a
blackberry, a power bank, several bank tellers of
recent bank transactions and lots of invoices, amidst
numerous pieces of papers, were found on him.
The unnamed source also added that they discovered
eight of the credit cards were still valid.
Out of these, three would expire in 2018, another
three would expire in 2017, while two would expire in
2016, said the sources whose name was withheld.
All the credit cards bore different names and of
various banks. Confirming the arrest, RRS
commander, ACP Olatunji Disu, added that upon
arrival at the RRS Headquarters in Alausa, the
suspect made "statements suggestive of somebody
disguising as a mad man to perpetrate crime around
that axis."
He said: "Initially, we noticed that he was mentally
balanced because he was answering the questions
posted to him ade-quately. But all of a sudden, he
started sounding incoherent and illogical. "He
threatened the investigative Police officer, saying 'I
will make life unbearable for you if you don't let me
go" .
In a similar event, the RRS recently arrested one fake
beggar named, Kehinde Olatubosun. The 56-year-old
man had for a while disguised as a sick patient and
armed with fake drug prescription paper begged his
way into six-figures.
According to his confessional statement, Kehinde
who hails from Ibadan, told the police how he earned
N300, 000 monthly.
