Danie Usman, a robbery suspect who was arrested by the police in Kwara State on Monday, September 7, confessed to the police that he stole his boss' Hyundai jeep because after using him to commit a series of crimes in their company, the man identified as Xans a Chinese, cheated him out of the proceeds of the crimes and wanted to punish the boss.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Ajayi Okasanmi,
Usman was a driver with a Chinese construction company, Honggye
International Nigeria Limited, based in Ekiti State while Xans was his
immediate boss and the two jointly perpetrated several criminal
activities but Xans pocketed most of the proceeds.
Out
of annoyance, Usman decided to steal the vehicle with the number plate
KTU 32 BZ, and was on his way to Abuja to sell it when he was
apprehended by the Command's Special Ember Months Patrol Team along the
Jebba-Lagos Road on Saturday, September 5.
According
to the police, the suspect had confessed to removing the vehicle from
the company yard at Ado-Ekiti and was enroute to Abuja to sell it when
he was apprehended.
The police statement reads:
“Usman said he was forced into the crime to punish Xans who was the site manager of the company.
He
said Xans, who is his direct supervisor, had used him many times to
allegedly commit several crime of cheating the company of its money and
resources.
The suspect informed the
police that his master stole the company’s money through three private
bank accounts with and that he didn’t compensate him.
The
driver said the idea of selling the jeep came to him as a last option
when he demanded from his master N500,000 to buy a small car but he gave
him only N300,000 instead.
That was why
he was in Lagos with the car where he was offered N1m. He changed his
mind to go to Abuja for a better offer before his arrest by our team
near Jebba Bridge.”
