Driver Arrested for Allegedly Attempting to Sell Stolen Lexus 460

Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have recovered a Lexus 460 SUV after the vehicle was reported stolen.

Detectives from the Agbado Division of the Ogun State Police Command also arrested one JEREMIAH JACOB EMMANUEL, a driver to the owner of the vehicle, in connection with the alleged theft.

The Police Public Relations Officer, OLUSEYI BABASEYI, said the twenty-eight-year-old prime suspect plotted with two others, identified as thirty-four-year-old AKEEM OLAWALE, and one MONDAY KESHI, still at large, to sell off the Forty-Five-Million Naira SUV for Ten Million Naira in nearby Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The PPRO disclosed in a statement preliminary investigation revealed that the driver had left with the vehicle without the authorisation of his employer, after dropping him off at his place of work earlier.

He said upon receiving a report of the missing vehicle on Thursday, November 12, 2026, detectives of Agbado Division swung into action and tracked down the suspects around the Agbado Crossing at about 7pm the same day, which eventually led to the recovery of the stolen Lexus.

The police spokesman said the suspect in detention admitted during interrogation of his involvement in the planned movement of the stolen vehicle to Cotonou for sale.

He said efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing accomplice, as the case is transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation and further necessary action.
