The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, has arrested a ‘high-profile thief’ identified as Augustine Joseph, who specialises in impersonating journalists to steal gadgets and defraud dignitaries at events.
The suspect who posed as an employee of Linda Ikeji blog, with an identity card bearing the name Michael Mordi, was arrested and paraded last week for robbing unsuspecting members of public of their belongings at public events.

"I have been into this business of stealing people’s things at event for more than a year now. I steal phones, laptops and other gadgets when attending functions. The method I mostly use is to come in as early as possible to familiarise myself with people. I always sit close to charging points where I would be able to carry out my act and I move around with different chargers to lend to people who need to charge their phones,""To get details about upcoming events, I download some events app on my phone and I add Facebook pages of events so as to stay current on activities happening around me. I go to the extent of paying as a participant to attend trainings and workshop in order for me to rob people of their belongings, " he confessed.
The police said the suspect will be arraigned iin court once investigations are concluded.
