Dismissed Corporal
Funmilayo Balogun, mother of 2, who was dismissed by the authorities over fake
result has again been arrested for allegedly stealing a Honda Accord car valued
at N5million, which she equally re-sold to an unsuspecting buyer.
Paraded on Wednesday
at the headquarters of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), explained that after
her dismissal in 2010, she promoted herself to the rank of Assistant
Superintendent of Police and embarked on the illegal operation of car stealing
in automobile stores across the South-West of the country.
The suspect was
said to have committed the offence which landed her in troubled waters in
October last year, when she approached a car dealer in Oke-Ilewo area of
Abeokuta on the pretext that she wanted to buy the car.
While confessing to the crime said she wore a
police uniform for the operation, having deceived the car sellers that she
needed to transfer money into their account to make up the balance for the cash
she had in hand, she added that she drove two of the car dealers to the police
headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, and asked for security escort to Ibadan,
where she abandoned them and fled with the car, which she later sold to someone
in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at N3.5milion out of which she has since been
paid N2million.
Meanwhile,
the State Police Commissioner, Ikemefuna Okoye, said the command would continue
to strive to make the state crime-free.
