Driver bolts with boss' N1.4m… Arrested in Ogun

A driver, who allegedly stole his master's money in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, has been arrested by the Police at Ajilete, a border satellite town in Ogun State.

Luqman Adegbite (25) allegedly stole the sum of N1.4 million belonging to his boss, Mr. Dapo Olaniyan and was on his way to save it in a bank at Owode, another border town in Ogun State, when nemesis caught up with him.

The driver, who was arrested by the Stop- and-Search team of the command, allegedly offered the police a bribe of N500, 000, which was rejected.
Luqman, who was paraded along with two other robbery suspects last Friday, told Daily Sun that he was tempted by Satan.

"I need God's forgiveness because my master has been kind to me since he employed me about six months ago. I don't know why I did this. I think it is devil that pushed me," he told Daily Sun.

"Initially I wanted to keep the stolen money at home, but later changed my mind when I pondered on the cordial relationship that exists between me and my Oga. It was in the process that I was caught by the police. I regret my action," he added.

The Investigating Police Officer, Mr. Azeen Darmola, who assisted the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Olufemi Awoyale, during the parade, said that the driver had accompanied his boss to collect the money from someone after which his boss stopped somewhere to see a friend.
Luqman had disappeared with the money and was heading for his village, Ajilete, when he was arrested by the police.

Awoyale said that Luqman would be transferred to the Olu-Obasanjo Police Station in Port Harcourt, where he said further investigation would be conducted before he's charged to court.
