A suspected car snatcher, Amucha Chike, who was arrested by operatives of the Anti Kidnap Unit of the Enugu State Police Command, has promised to attend a thanksgiving church service and embrace God if released.
Chike, 27, who said he is a graduate of Agriculture Economics from Abia State University, Uturu, and has participated in the National Youth Service Corps programme, is blaming the devil for his ill-fated venture into crime.
The suspect, who reportedly hails from Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, said he now wishes to use his university degree to seek an honest employment.
The Public Relations Officer of the Enugu State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, explained that Chike had on June 16, 2014, stole a Toyota Camry car at Independence Layout, Enugu, after the owner left the key in the ignition after parking to open his gate.
Chike rushed into the car and drove off, warning a lady who was inside the vehicle to lie down, or he will shoot her dead.
The said lady was eventually dropped along the way, before Chike proceeded to Owerri, Imo State, where he kept it in a dealer shop, before selling it for N700,000.
Having sold the car, Chike moved to Benin City, Edo State, to relax and enjoy the proceeds of the stolen car, but unknown to him, the police was already on his trail.
He was eventually arrested on November 29 in Edo State, while having dinner in an undisclosed restaurant.
Following his arrest, the stolen vehicle was recovered.
Chike, who is currently helping the police in their investigations, urged youths to avoid crime.
He said, “I am ashamed of myself, I am still surprised on how police traced me to Edo State and arrested me.
“Youths should eschew all manner of crime and criminality and embrace good virtues and God will embrace them someday but involvement in crime and criminality will tarnish their future.”
The suspect added that he needs prayers and deliverance. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
