Guccitayo Service Hub Owner Faces N2m Loss from Burglary

Akintayo Omotayo, the founder of Guccitayo Service Hub, experienced a burglary at his shop located opposite the Tai Solarin Federal University of Education in Ijagun, Ogun State. The incident occurred between Thursday night and Friday morning, leading to the loss of clothes and power banks worth approximately N2m.

Omotayo stated that he had not operated his generator due to a fault and was preparing for his monthly clearance as a serving corps member when he discovered the break-in. The burglars forced open both the outer extension door and the main door, stealing items primarily belonging to his customers.

Omotayo expressed heartbreak over the loss and noted that the police response was inadequate, as they required a prime suspect to take further action. He reported that the police officers suggested he pay them to visit the scene and take inventory, which he found disappointing given his financial struggles following the burglary.
