Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested 21-year-old Temple Samuel for allegedly stealing his boss’ Lexus ES 330 car.
The suspect was arrested in the Ogba area of Lagos State with three others, namely Benjamin Bassey aged 32, Chukwuemeka Okorie aged 29 and Joshua Agboche aged 37, who had conspired with him to sell the car.
