The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested four minors for allegedly stealing iron rods from an uncompleted building in the Guzape area. The suspects, identified as Matthew Vincent (15), Timothy Shedrack (15), Moses Vincent (11), and Lucky Enock, were caught following a complaint made to the Guzape Police Station. Residents reported suspicious activity at the construction site, noting that the minors were seen entering the building nightly.

Witnesses described hearing loud noises and observing swift movements as the children dismantled parts of the structure. Preliminary investigations indicate the minors gained access by scaling the fence and used crude tools to remove the iron rods, which they reportedly sold to a local scrap dealer known as “Babanbola.”

Efforts are underway to locate the Babanbola, who is believed to be involved in a broader network facilitating the theft and sale of construction materials in the area. This incident highlights the growing concern of juvenile delinquency in the Federal Capital Territory.

Confirming the arrest to newsmen, the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, said the FCT Commissioner of Police FCT, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, urged parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s activities, especially during late hours. He emphasized the importance of providing guidance to prevent criminal behavior. Community members are encouraged to report suspicious activities promptly and support initiatives aimed at creating safer environments.

Adeh said Business owners and scrap dealers are advised to verify the sources of materials before purchase and to report anyone attempting to sell stolen goods. Construction site owners should enhance security measures, including deploying guards and installing surveillance systems.

The police imagemaker siad the command remain committed to maintaining law and order across the territory. The minors will be moved to juvenile homes for rehabilitation, and those found culpable will face legal consequences.

“We sent 350k for her burial (to Libya) which they are still asking for more but guess what? Osas’ family is calling for us her properties.
