One of the drivers of the popular Nigerian phone retail outlet, Slot Nigeria Limited, has been arrested by the operatives of Rapid Response Squad(RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command over the diversion of nearly N6 million worth of products including laptops, mobile phones and its accessories.
The suspect, identified as Olumide Babajide, 42years, hails from Kwara State. He was tracked and arrested in Kaduna State, where he diverted the goods to after taking them from the Slot Nigeria Office based in Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos.
The driver, who was employed in March 2017, by the company, was directed to move the goods to a Slot Outlet in Victoria Island, Lagos state on May 2nd, 2017, when the incident happened.
According to Mr. Babajide, who holds a diploma in computer science, said: “I took the good from Slot’s outlet in Ikeja. I was to deliver it to another outlet in
Victoria Island, Lagos, but instead I took the goods to Pam-Pam Hotel, Ikeja, while I returned the company’s Hilux car to R & S hotel, where we normally park the company’s vehicles. This wasn’t the first time I would be moving laptops, mobile phones and their accessories from one outlet to the other. Since I joined the company in March and I was assigned the job of a delivery
man, it had been my idea to divert the goods and abscond.
As soon as it was 5:00 p.m. that very day, I took a drop from the hotel with the consignment to Ejigbo, where I boarded a Kaduna bus. Before I got to Kaduna, I already contacted one of the buyers. She bought N1.4 million worth of phones, laptops and phone accessories while I also sold in unit to some other buyers as well.”
According to sources, the suspect on reaching Kaduna dashed out about 10 mobiles to passers-by. He bought 32inches Samsung LCD television, gave out two phones to his girl friend and bought a Peugeot 206, with new registration number DKA 859 KA from the proceeds of his sales for N912,000:00.
Mr Babajide, a father of three abandoned his wife and children in who are based in Kaduna state.

You don't judge people, are you righteous. Is it because he was caught.
