’People who saw him raised the alarm which made him take to flight, but how far can a 53yrs old man run? The young guys gave him a hot chase and caught up with him, they later alerted the police team that visited the scene and arrested the suspect.
“Two fabricated iron master key was found in his possession and obviously, it is part of the instrument used to unlock unsuspecting car owners’ vehicles, he gets into the vehicle and drives the car away.
“A plea of double jeopardy will not suffice if there was no acquittal on a thorough investigation, he may have been released on want of evidence.
“However this time, the Police will prosecute him to ensure that justice is served since he has not repented irrespective of his age. ‘’ Odutola said
The police spokesperson revealed that the Commissioner of Police for the state has been informed and instructed to gather substantial evidence to present before the court, ensuring that Sunday Dosunmu comprehensively learns his lesson.
