specialised in stealing laptops and properties of conference and
seminar participants in Lagos State.
The

operatives after he had gate-crashed into a seminar organised for
internet brand managers at a popular hotel in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos. He made
away with 5 MacBooks, one HP computer and some assorted personal

Ikemufuna,
captured in the CCTV camera around the venue of the event, drove into
the venue, before heading straight into seminar precisely when the
participants were having launch in another room.

According
to one the representatives the seminar organiser, who did not want her
name in print, “we were shocked see participants bringing up issues of
missing laptops and computer accessories after returning from lunch.
The
seminar was not advertised online neither in any national newspapers.
How did this suspect get to know of the event and managed to come at the
exact time participants about a hundred participants were having
launch?”.

several scouts who furnish him with information on conferences and
seminars, where he went to steal laptops and participants properties.

Village to arrest the buyer.
According
to the buyer of the stolen items at the Computer Village, Ikeja, Saliu
Ibraheem, “I have known Ikemefuna for more than seven years. He brought 5
Mac Books and one HP to my shop that he bought them in South Africa. 
I
bought the 5 Mac Books and a HP laptop computer for N1, 110,000 and I
resold it immediately for N1, 250,000:00. The money was transferred into
my account immediately.
As at yesterday, the operatives had recovered all the laptops allegedly stolen by the suspect at the seminar.
