By Richard Ayinde, Osogbo.

A middle aged woman has been rescued by the men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Osun State Command from being lynched by the residents of Ayepe area of Osogbo the capital of the state for stealing a she goat.

According to a press statement issued and made available to our Correspondent in Osogbo by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, PRO, DSC Adigun Daniel on Thursday, “on the 9th of November, 2021, one woman named Adewole Suliyat, F,30, a mother of three who claimed to be a trader and hails from Konda area, Ilobu, Irepodun Local Government of Osun State was caught by a neighbour at Ayepe Area in Osogbo where she came to steal a black goat.

“Taking the stolen she goat out of the community, she was challenged and upon interrogation she confessed to have stolen it”.

Residents of the area who were furious about the act according to the statement pounced on her to avenge but for the intervention of the NSCDC personnel, Osun State Command, she was rescued.

” In her confessional statement she admitted to have committed the crime. She came all the way from Ilobu, Irepodun Local Government to Oke Ayepe, Osogbo Local Government.

“I have a peculiar way of catching the animals. I usually carry some dried peel of cassava in a plastic basket so when I look round and find no one in sight, I put down the basket.

“Goats find it attractive and while feeding on it I catch and tie them. Anyone I meet on the way would think I bought it from the owner” the woman said.

In recent times, individuals and community members have lodged complaints of missing domestic animals once they have left home to pursue their livelihood.

The PRO added in the statement that shortly after the investigation the woman will be charged to court.
