During the investigation, the suspect confessed that he stole the phones from three different owners at Ifaki-Ekiti. One of the owners was contacted and immediately came to reclaim his phone while an effort was ongoing to identify the other owners.
Moreover, the Operatives of the Ado Central Division arrested one Ayomide Jinaidu of Omisanjana Area of Ado-Ekiti for abducting and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
