Nigerian investigative journalist and publisher, Fejiro Oliver, has said that he has forgiven the young men who allegedly stole $15,000 from him and wants charges against them dropped.
According to Fejiro, two of the suspects who are gate men in a house in Lekki area of Lagos, broke into the apartment he stays in Lekki, tore his travel bag and made away with his $15,000 (N8.5M) around.
Three of the suspects were tracked down to Benue State and arrested. They are currently facing trial in a Lagos court.
“The apartment manager came around alongside policemen to other apartments where the thieves’ colleagues are security men only to discover that the five of them had suddenly disappeared that night,” Fejiro narrated a day after the incident.
“The five Benue boys switched off their phones. One of them is Stephen Oche. Their guarantor, Abraham also bolted away that night, apparently after being told by Isreal of his new found fortune.” he added.
Taking to Facebook on Tuesday, April 26, Fejiro said that he had been jailed while fighting corruption and doesn’t want same fate for the suspect.
He also disclosed that he will set the boys up in a petty business or find a way to get them gainfully employed.
