What an absolute nonsense. A suspect Osas Felix Bright, automobile dealer
at Berger, has confessed that he buys stolen vehicles from robbers and gave one
of such SUVs to a pastor to pray for his barren wife to conceive in Lagos.
Bright was arrested along with the pastor, Titus Onwuchekwa who received the
stolen SUV as gift.
Bright made the confession when they
were paraded by the State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni last week. The
police also recovered 18 stolen vehicles of various brands from the suspects.
Delta State- born Bright also
revealed that he did not tell his wife that he was buying stolen vehicles from
robbers.
“My wife does not know that I buy
stolen vehicles. She got to know after I was arrested,” Bright said.
Bright also confessed that he knew
that suppliers of the recovered vehicles were car snatchers because he buys the
SUVs at give-away prices.
Pastor Titus Onwuchekwa of the
Presbyterian Church, Umuahia in Abia State, was arrested along with other
suspects, Bola Salami, 30, Opeyemi Aregbesola, 28, Chibuike Umeh, 22, and Ndibe
Samuel by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.
Bright said that Pastor Onwuchekwa
did not know that the SUV he gave to him was stolen, but he committed himself
when he contacted him again and was demanding to buy another car (Toyota Camry)
for N250,000.
He said unknown to Onwuchekwa, he
(Bright) was already in police custody, adding that it was when the pastor came
to Lagos to buy the Toyota Camry he was also arrested. Onwuchekwa said that he
did not know that the SUV was stolen.
He said when he contacted Bright and
informed him that he was a pastor, he was elated and informed him that he was
sowing a seed with the SUV. He said he only paid him N350,000 and he prayed for
him and his wife became pregnant.
According to CP Owoseni, the police
recovered an unregistered Toyota 4 Runner SUV, Toyota Camry with registration
number, AAA 391 AA, Toyota Camry with number, FKJ 441 DV, Lexus Rx30 with
number LSR 520 RF, Toyota Highlander SUV with number LSR 492 DX and Mitsubishi
Pajero SUV with number SMK 484 DS.
