Those were the pleas of one of the two phone thieves recently arrested in Lagos. Ufoma Asakpa, 22, and Augustine Omedo, 20, who burgle people’s shops at Abule-Oja in Yaba were arrested on the 13th of October, 2015.
They’re arrested at about 6.22 p.m. after successfully stealing 3 handsets from a shop in the area.
They confessed that they had stolen about 70 phones this year and identified their buyer simply as Alfa who owns a shop at Boundary in Ajegunle. They’ve been transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the police command for further investigation. In his confessional plea, one of them said: “I was a secondary school dropout. I was unable to proceed to senior classes after I failed Junior WAEC.
My parents took me to my brother’s shop to learn how to repair generators but I couldn’t endure the period of apprenticeship. While looking for ways to earn quick money, I met my partner who introduced me to stealing. I joined him about 10 months ago and the police never caught us.
In fact, my parents must not know that I am a thief because I leave home every day as if I was going to work. I have regretted my actions for taking to stealing for survival. It is the devil that pushed me into it.’’.
