Man arrested for stealing pot of soup

A 24 year-old man simply identified as Oghenero, has been arrested in Warri, Delta state for allegedly stealing a pot of soup.

Oghenero was arrested by the vigilantes on the Petroleum Training Institute [PTI] Road while he and his friends were eating Akpu [cassava meal] with the soup. Consequently, a local task force has been set up in the area to check incessant stealing of foodstuffs blamed on the economic recession that has besieged the country for sometime now.

This came as the police also arrested seven suspected robbers within Warri area. It was gathered that the five suspected robbers were arrested at the notorious Otokutu axis of Warri by the Police patrol team.

The suspects who have been terrorizing innocent citizens i n several areas, met their Waterloo when they walked into the police net. The hoodlums were arrested after they had robbed some group of people drinking Champagne at the notorious Otokutu axis.

It was learnt that a witness, who saw the police quickly alerted them of what had happened and pointed the robbers' vehicle to the police, who in turn swiftly went after the robbers and intercepted them at the military checkpoint located at the entrance of Otokutu village.

Sources revealed that as soon as the robbers noticed that the police patrol vehicle was close to them, they started shooting sporadically into the air. Despite this, however, the gallant police officers rounded up the robbers. One of the robbers who attempted to fight back was shot in the leg by the police officers to prevent him from escaping into the bush.

During a search, two pump action rifles and other dangerous weapons were found in their vehicle. Two other suspects were later apprehended in other parts of the town.
