The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has detained one Saheed Babtunde, 18, for alleged stealing of two plasma TV sets valued at N150,000 and other valuable items.

Spokesman of the NSCDC in the State, Babawale Zaid Afolabi, said the suspect was reported to have burgled some houses at Ajibesin community, Ogidi, in Ilorin, and allegedly stole the two plasma TV sets and other valuable items.

He said: “On Monday, October 25, a burglary case was reported by one Abdul Raheem Abiodun, a member of the vigilante group set up by the Ajibesin community Zone B, to curtail the incessant burglary cases in the area.

“Efforts of the people in the community paid off, on Sunday, when one Saheed Babtunde was arrested for being in possession of a 26-inch plasma television which was earlier reportedly stolen from one Saheed Olaiya’s house.”

Babawale spoke further that the suspect was later taken to the NSCDC State Command, in Ilorin, by the community security team, adding that the suspect confessed to have stolen two plasma televisions, five mobile phones, pressing irons and other valuables.
