Ogun Police Arrest Suspect After Recovering Stolen SUV

The Ogun State Police Command recovered a Lexus 460 SUV valued at N45 million shortly after it was reported stolen on November 12, 2026. The vehicle was allegedly taken by its owner’s driver, Jeremiah Jacob Emmanuel, who informed his employer that his wife was unwell before driving away with the SUV without authorization.

Emmanuel reportedly planned to sell the vehicle for N10 million in Cotonou, Benin Republic, in collaboration with Akeem Olawale and another accomplice, Monday Keshi, who remains at large. Following the report made at the Agbado Divisional Police Headquarters, detectives launched an investigation that led to Olawale's arrest at Agbado Crossing around 7 pm on the same day.

During preliminary interrogation, Olawale admitted to being involved in the planned sale of the vehicle to Benin Republic.
