The Police in Lagos State have arrested a 23-year-old ex-convict, Yakub Yusuf, for allegedly stealing valve covers of a fire truck under repairs.

A statement issued on Thursday by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said that the suspect was arrested hours after his release from prison.

“The suspect was arrested at 8:00 am on Saturday after regaining freedom following his one-month prison sentence for stealing at Lagos State fuel dump at Alausa.

“An NGO facilitated his release by paying his fine on Friday, Nov. 11, just 10 days after his conviction on Nov. 1.
