Operatives of the Police Special Intelligence Response Team have arrested the taxi driver who absconded with his passenger's N1.8m and other belongings in Abuja.
The 38 year-old Muritala Olagunju, a native of Ogun State was said to have been hired by one Mohammed, at Wuse Zone 6 area of Abuja to convey him to a destination for shopping, before taking him to the hotel where he intended to lodge.
Olagunju allegedly absconded with Mohammed's belongings while he was inside the hotel booking his accommodation.
The suspect who was trailed by the police and arrested a few weeks later has owned up to the offense. He told the police how he spent the money, begging his victim for forgiveness.
“ I gave N200,000 to my girl friend and I also gave my sister N80,000. Then I bought a car for myself which I intended to use for my business, but before I knew what was happening, I was arrested. I regret doing this and I hope my passenger will forgive me,” he said.
