The police at the B Division Police Station, Asaba, Delta State, have arrested two persons at the premises of a business man (name withheld) around Abraka community, Asaba, at the weekend after they had reportedly fallen asleep in the victim’s premises.
Reports said that the suspects were rounded up while they were fast asleep by the police detectives who recovered some stolen items from them.
It was reliably gathered that the suspects had entered the businessman’s premises through his falling fence during the night and held their victims captive after they had allegedly dispossessed them of some money.
But as they moved out of the room, they were said to have fallen to the ground fast asleep and one of their victims immediately called the police from the B Division.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects, disclosed that the suspects were still sleeping when the police detectives arrived, adding that they were rounded up and handcuffed before they knew where they were.
“It was like a mild drama when the police arrived at the scene and met the suspects sleeping freely. They immediately rounded them up and handcuffed them before they woke up to see that they were in an open premises,” she said, adding that the suspects upon interrogation confessed to the crime, saying they were shocked to see themselves sleeping on the ground.
