Touching Confession Of Suspect Engaged In Illegal Oil Bunkering

                   Four suspects have been arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCD), Lagos State Command, for allegedly engaging in illegal oil bunkering.

According to the Punch, the suspects stole 52 jerrycans with each containing 50 litres of petrol.
One of the suspects, Jamiu Sittu, confessed that he had taken to the criminal act to get money to pay up the hospital bill of his wife who gave birth to their baby boy in July, 2014 through caesarean section.

The commercial driver explained that N150,000 was charged for the surgery, but he could only pay N80,000.

“I started the business three months ago. I am a commercial driver, but I was not earning enough. I was actually pushed into it so that I could balance my wife’s hospital bill on time. We got married in October, 2013.”
