Lagos State robber Kelechi Ikechi, aged 24, used to break into his neighbours’ homes after they had gone out for church services. Abia State born man was arrested on Sunday during one of such operations as he was trying to rob his neighbour’s flat. According to P.M. News, Ikechi confessed to the attempted robbery at one Peter Ibeh’s house in Ejigbo. Ibeh had complained that every Sunday his house was robbed which caused serious arguments among his family members. Thus he decided to trace the guilty party.
According to Ibeh, on the day of Ikechi’s arrest he hid one of his aides inside their flat and went to church with other members of the family. When the suspect broke in, Ibeh’s aide locked him in from outside and raised the alarm which attracted other neighbours. The 24-year-old was caught and handed over to the police. Speaking about his motives, Ikechi said that he started stealing from people when he lost his factory job. He added that it was reasonable to break into houses on Sundays because people were absent for a long time in churches. Ikechi was granted a bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.
The case was adjourned till 1 December, 2014.
