The victim also told the cops that the suspect, who was heavily inebriated, then went to sleep.

Our source learned that the woman sneaked out and ran to the Sapele Police Station, where she reported the case, after noticing the suspect was fast asleep.

A detective patrol team allegedly broke into the house and arrested the suspect with one cut-to-size gun and one live cartridge.

While confirming the incident, DSP Bright Edafe, the state Police Public Relations Officer, said the investigation was still underway.

In another development, Edafe reported that police operatives arrested Ojo Amos, 38, a suspected Automated Teller Machine card thief.
“When searched, a total of 33 ATM cards and a cash sum of N50,000 were recovered from the suspect,” he said, adding that he confessed to stealing one of the cards from one Rufai Abdulahi at Zenith Bank, Kwale branch, and leaving immediately, adding that he later withdrew N250,000 from the victim’s account.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect waited behind his victims at ATM machines, targeting people he thought were uneducated, such as elderly women and children, and once he noticed they were having difficulty operating the ATM machine, he moved closer to them, pretending to be a bank employee trying to help them, and in the process, he swapped their ATM cards.”

“The suspect, who confessed to having been involved in this illegal act for the past four years, told the police that he watched his victims enter their ATM PINs, memorized them, and then swapped their ATM cards before emptying their bank accounts using either a PoS stand or an ATM machine.”

Ari Ali, the state’s commissioner of police, urged residents to be cautious when using ATMs and to report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods to the police.
