The Niger State Police Command has arrested one Peter Herald, 41, for allegedly stealing 12 solar inverter batteries belonging to Global Communication Company in Kampanin Bobi village, Mariga Local Government Area of the state.

It was learnt that one Ahmed Ma’aruf of Tegina, Rafi Local Government Area of the state on November 20, 2018, reported to the police that unknown persons had removed the batteries.

Northern City News gathered that the suspect had loaded the batteries in a Toyota Sienna SUV with number plate KRD 564 DC before his arrest.

Herald, who claimed to be an indigene of Aboru community in Lagos State, was said to have connived with one Emmanuel, now at large, to carry out the act.

The suspect said, “We disconnected the batteries belonging to Global Communication Company and sold them at a giveaway price to our clients.

“We don’t even sell at the market price since they were stolen batteries; we sell them cheap to our clients, who will resell to other members of the public.”

Herald blamed economic hardship for his involvement in the crime.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muhammad Abubakar, said the operatives were still looking for Herald’s accomplice, noting that the matter would be charged to court after investigation.
