Sallah: Two Arrested fir stealing ram

A few days to Saturday’s Eid-il-Kabir celebration, the police in Ogun State have arrested two persons for allegedly stealing a Salah ram belonging to one Sodiq Abolore.

The suspects, Adetunji Alagbe and Opeyemi Ogunlokun were arrested yesterday following a report lodged at the Ogijo police divisional headquarters by Abolore.

Abolore had told the police that while he was asleep in his room at about 3a.m, he heard an unusual noise in his compound, saying this made him peep through the window, and discovered that the iron gate with which he blocked the entrance of the room he kept the Sallah ram had been pulled down.

Confirming the incident on Wednesday, the Ogun Police Image Maker, Abimbola Oyeyemi, quoted Abolore as saying that he went out and “discovered that his Sallah ram which he bought at the rate of N120,000 was no longer there. The police spokesperson said the three men were chased but two were nabbed as the other one escaped.
