Operatives of the Ekiti State Amotekun Corps, in Ilupeju Ekiti in Oye Ekiti Local Government Area of the state, have arrested fives suspects including a student for stealing and vandalizing electric cables.
The student who simply identified himself as Ojo claimed that he is a 300-level law student in a Nigerian university and that he stole the cables to raise money for his school fees after his mother eloped with her lover and failed to pay his school fees.
He said;
“I lost my father years ago and my mother has stopped financing my education in the university after eloping with another man. I am a 300-level law student. I came to Ekiti to ‘hustle’ for money to pay my school fees.
“I have never been involved in any crime in my life and I regret doing this. I want the government to have mercy on me and allow me to return to my education. I want to be a lawyer.”
