Officers of the Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, otherwise known as So-Safe Corps, have arrested a 26-year old suspect, Abdulrasheed Ibrahim for stealing aluminum and electrical wires, last week Wednesday.

According to the statement, the officers who were attached to the Iyesi Area Command, sighted the suspect believed to be a scavenger in possession of the stolen aluminium and electrical wires.
Commander Ganzallo, while giving further details on the arrest, explained that after a professional and coordinated assessment, the suspect was questioned on how he came into possession of the items.
