A source in the area, who spoke anonymously, said it took a joint effort of other residents to free the parents from the apartment.
The source said:
“The boy had successfully sold one generator set he stole. The father is preventing the police from prosecuting the son after his arrest. The police wanted the boy to be prosecuted for his action, but the parents said they wanted him to be released along with the stolen items.”
The state Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident, said:
“The course of the investigation was truncated by the complainant, who was equally the biological father of the suspect, as he vehemently declined prosecution of his son, one Ayomiposi Esan. He wanted his son and the recovered stolen goods, including the car, released."
