Hahaha! Thief steals policeman’s phone inside patrol van
Godwin Emmanuel, a 23-year-old armed robbery suspect, has confessed to stealing a police officer's phone while being transported to the Osun State Police Command. This shocking incident occurred despite Emmanuel being in custody and under police supervision.
Emmanuel was arrested alongside Olajide Kareem, 28, and Mike Emmanuel, 33, for allegedly robbing residents and sexually assaulting a 65-year-old woman on the Ilesa-Osu Expressway in Osun State ¹. The trio targeted motorists and passengers, stealing their belongings. In one instance, a bus driver was shot in the leg and rushed to Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in Ile-Ife for treatment.
During his parade, Emmanuel explained that he stole the phone without knowing it belonged to a police officer. He claimed he wanted to use it to call his family, unaware of his arrest for armed robbery. Emmanuel had been in custody for two months before the phone was discovered on him during a cell search.
Emmanuel's actions have sparked widespread condemnation, with many questioning his motives and the effectiveness of police supervision. The Osun State Police Command spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, emphasized that the suspects' actions were part of a larger pattern of armed robbery.
