Garuba Ibrahim, a 49-YEAR-old notorious car thief that specialized in drugging his victims before stealing their vehicles within Abuja, Benue and Kogi States, has been arrested in his home town in Otukpo, Benue State.
8 vehicles suspected to have been stolen by Garuba Ibrahim, have also been recovered. The suspect confessed that he drugged his victims with tea and biscuit before robbing their cars.
According to Garuba Ibrahim; “I am married with four children. I deal on fairly used shoes and I buy my shoes from Jos, Plateau State but in the year 2013, I went into selling cars.
As soon as I went into the business, I started making huge profits from it. One day, I took a vehicle from Makurdi to Gboko and offered the driver food. I bought Semovita and soup and drugged it without the driver’s knowledge.
We then drove to the secretariat and he started eating. As soon as he tasted the food, he started feeling dizzy. I brought his floor mat and he slept on it. Before then, I asked him to give me his car key to scratch my ear which he willingly obliged.
I then drove the car to Otukpo and sold it for N500, 000. Fourteen days later, I travelled to Abuja and took a cab to Sheraton hotel. Then we decided to get something to eat. I bought a packet of biscuit and cleverly drugged it.
Thirty minutes later, he slept off. I took the key to the car, a Toyota Picnic and drove off. I took the car to Kano and sold it for N600, 000. The man who taught me the trick of drugging my victim is Ibrahim Dogo from Sokoto state.” Crdt: Vanguardngr
