CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A suspected criminal, Mr. Ugochukwu Okeke, who strips himself naked before going for operations at night has been arrested by the police in Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspect was apprehended naked by the residents of Oke Afa in Isolo, Lagos, after he attempted to break into a company known as Pat-Rax Sanitary Wares at night to steal.

The company was located at Bestford Street in Oke Afa Isolo, Lagos.

While trying to enter into the company, the security men around accosted him; asked to know what he was doing there in the company at odd hours but claimed to be a mad man. He was then handed over to the police who interrogated him and discovered that he had no mental problem but was a hardened criminal, because of his past records.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Okeke declined to reveal his style of operations because he was found naked before he was arrested.
However, the police found him culpable and charged before Ejigbo Magistrates court for attempt to steal and conduct likely to cause breach of peace by wandering around naked.

He pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Mr G. Simon did not oppose his bail but asked the court to give a short adjournment for trial.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. L.K.J. Layeni granted Okeke bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison pending when he will perfect his bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 20 June, 2018
