The Ekiti State Police Command apprehended a motorcycle thief when the operatives of the Safer Highway Unit of the Command stopped him while riding a brand new unregistered motorcycle during a stop and search operation along Ado-Iworoko Ekiti Road
The man, Abiodun Eniola, who allegedly went to the dealer’s shop at Iworoko Ekiti, pretended to be a buyer, negotiated and asked the dealer to allow him to test the motorcycle but disappeared with the motorcycle and never came back.
But luck ran out for him on May 10, 2025, when the operatives of the Safer Highway Unit apprehended him with the brand new unregistered motorcycle during a stop and search operation along Ado-Iworoko Ekiti Road.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State Command, SP Sunday Abutu, who disclosed the suspect’s arrest in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, said, “He will be arraigned accordingly.”
Abutu stated, “Investigations revealed that the suspect went to the shop of a motorcycle dealer at Iworoko Ekiti, pretended to be a real buyer, negotiated, and requested that he tested the motorcycle before buying.”
His request was granted but he eventually ran away with the motorcycle.
“He confessed during investigations that he wanted to steal the motorcycle rather than buy it,” the police spokesperson stated.
