How We Stole 43 Goats During Osun-Lagos Trips: Bus Conductor Admits

An artist and part-time bus driver from Lagos named Wale Segun has disclosed his nefarious acts.

The conductor who was detained by Amotekun for allegedly stealing goats in Osun State and transporting them to Lagos for sale describes the criminal incident to BOLA BAMIGBOLA.

Whenever you stole those goats, what did you do with them?

We usually gave the animals to Segun’s elder sister in Lagos who would sell them and give us our own share of the proceeds.

How much have you made so far from the sale of those goats?

I don’t know the actual amount because I didn’t follow Segun’s sister to where the animals were sold in Lagos. It was after selling that Segun would send my own share of the money to me. The first time the goats were sold, I was given N50,000. I used the money to buy foodstuffs and other things for my family. I am married with two kids. Times are hard. Due to the rainy season, I don’t get borehole drilling jobs and we need to survive. I regret stealing. I feel like killing myself. Stealing of goats was not my idea. I was just co-opted into it.
