He was said to have gone to a nearby police station where he reported the case.

Luck, however, ran out of the alleged thief as the owner, who was on his way to visit his wife that had just been delivered of a baby in a hospital, saw his motorcycle where it was parked.

The corps member was said to have made an attempt to escape with the bike but was caught after Oyewole  raised the alarm.

Adebisi, 26, who claimed to be a youth corps member  attached to St. John Middle School, Iree and graduated  from Kwara State Polytechnic, suddenly jumped on the motorcycle  and as he was about to start  it, he was apprehended.

“He confessed to the crime. He said ‘I stole the motorcycle because I want to be riding it to my  place of work.  This is my first time of stealing.’

“The suspect  was identified by his colleagues and will be arraigned in court at the conclusion of investigation.”
