Owoye Ebiwe, 20, from Ondo state, was among the ten suspected pipeline vandals paraded. Monday by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Special Task Force on Anti-Pipeline vandalism Unit.
.
The suspects were reportedly arrested at the verge of siphoning petroleum product from a pipeline belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, located in Elekete area of Ogun state.
.
While all the suspects freely opened up confessing their alleged involvement in the crime, Ebiwe was unusually calm. While that lasted, he bent down, scribbling what did not make sense on the wet ground.
.
When approached, he raised his head and behold, he was shedding tears. Asked why he was crying, he lamented the woes he claimed had befallen him and eventually led him into the unpalatable situation he found himself.
The reason made sense but it is not enough to scale through jail sentence when caught and arrested so we must think twice before doing certain things.
