By Steve Oni, Ilorin
A 27-year-old man, Abubakar Aliyu, is cooling his heels at the headquarters of the Kwara state Command, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), for allegedly stealing a Toyota Camry Saloon Car (red colpur) with Registration number EPE 294 GT.
The Command’s spokesman, Babawale Zaid Afolabi, who disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in llorin, the state capital, said the suspect, a father of two, committed the offence in one of the private hostels of the Kwara state University, Malete, adding that: “On Thursday 19th of August, 2021, our intelligence and investigation department was deployed to look out for the said car consequent upon receiving the complaint about a missing car. The incident occurred at a private hostel of the Kwara state University in Malete area in Ilorin
“Through the efforts of the Surveillance team of Intelligence and Investigation Department of the Command, Abubakar Aliyu, the suspect, was arrested with the car.
“The car was parked in front of the hostel on Wednesday 11/08/2021 around 11:00 pm, only for the owner to wake up the following morning and discover that the car was missing. Abubakar broke through the window of one of the hostels and made away with the car.
“The suspect took the car to a painter’s shop at Oko Erin area in Ilorin, where the red colour was changed to black. This was done under eight hours with the suspect standing by the painter. He took the car out of the place the same day.
“The painter, Adewunmi Taiwo, may not have conspired with the suspect but he acted foolishly for painting and changing the colour of the car.
“Both suspects are now in our custody while Abubakar has confessed to have committed the crime.”
Meanwhile, the state Commandant, Makinde Iskil Ayinla, has been briefed of the incident and further actions would be taken after his directive, the spokesman added.

Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
