A 20-year old lady, Suliya Tajudeen has said she planned to return the iPhones she stole at Osun Mall before her arrest by the police.

Tajudeen, who was paraded alongside 86 others by the police in connection with looting of public and private property in some parts of Osun State during the #EndSARS protest, said she did not use the phones before the police tracked her down.

Explaining why the police arrested her to journalists, the suspect said: “On the day the #EndSARS protest escalated in Osogbo on October 17, some hoodlums broke into Osun Mall and looted it. I was not part of the hoodlums that attacked the premises but I incidentally found myself near the mall when the attack took place.

“I was not involved. I went to the mall to meet my hairstylist, who had called me earlier to come over so that I could tint my hair to black. But a few minutes after I got there, I saw many people running towards the mall.  I also heard sounds like gunshots. But I wasn’t sure if they were gunshots or something else. We were all scared and so we ran in different directions in the mall.

“I could not go out because I believed those that came into the premises might injure me, so I hid.  When the hoodlums were looting shops, the rest of us hid in different places. The hoodlums were moving from shop to shop, stealing items. They got to a phone shop and looted it. While they were carting away many phones, two iPhones fell near where I was and I picked them up.

“I can’t recognise those people, but they stole a lot of phones. I won’t lie, I took the iPhones and hid them under my clothes and went home.”

On why she picked the phone, Tajudeen said: “My intention was to return the phone the following day. I had planned to visit my stylist the following day.

“I wanted to return the phones the following day but before I could do that, the phones were tracked by the police and I was arrested.”

The suspect said she didn’t use the iPhones personally, adding that she didn’t join the protest as well.

” I was at Olaiya Junction, Osogbo while the protest was going, I was there to watch them.

” I don’t even know how to use iPhones. But I put SIM cards in the phones. My friends wanted to download Snapchat and take pictures with the phones, so they put SIM cards in them. The phones were new but not packaged,”
