Two suspects were detained by members of the Rapid Response Squad of the Ekiti State Police Command for allegedly stealing diesel from the power plants that run the streetlights in the Ado Ekiti region of the state.

Sunday Abutu, the state police’s public information officer, said on Thursday that the two suspects, Danjuma and Idowu, were apprehended on Wednesday by members of the RRS along the NTA Road in Ado Ekiti as they attempted to flee with a 25-liter gallon of diesel that was allegedly stolen from the generating set.

“The suspects confessed to committing the crime during questioning,” Abutu said. The suspects admitted that they had been dishonestly selling stolen diesel to Ado-Ekiti locals for a while. They’ll be charged when the time comes.

Abutu urged locals to practice security awareness and to report any suspicious activity to security personnel so that appropriate action could be taken.
