The State Police Command’s Spokesperson, Omotola Odutola, revealed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
Odutola explained that the truck driver attached to Dangote Cement’s transport department in Ibese had reported that his truck, with registration number KPF 237 XA, was stolen while he left his two motor boys, Mohammed Lawal and Ismail, inside the vehicle.
