 Don’t receive or buy stolen items, FPRO warns


The Force Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has warned Nigerians against collecting, keeping or buying stolen items.


He referred Nigerians to section 427 of the criminal code act, which states: “Any person who receives anything which has been obtained by means of any act constituting a felony or misdemeanor, or by means of any act done at a place not in Nigeria, which if it had been done in Nigeria would have constituted a felony or misdemeanor, and which is an offence under the laws in force in the place where it was done, knowing the same to have been so obtained, is guilty of a felony.


“If the offence by means of which the thing was obtained is a felony, the offender is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years, except in the case in which the thing so obtained was postal matter, or any chattel, money or valuable security contained therein, in which case the offender is liable to imprisonment for life.


“In any other case the offender is liable to imprisonment for seven years.


“For the purpose of proving the receiving of anything, it is sufficient to show that the accused person has, either alone or jointly with some other person, had the thing in his possession, or has aided in concealing it or disposing of it.”


He gave this warning in a post via his X handle on Friday, July 19.


He wrote: “Receiving stolen property is a criminal offence. Dont receive for keep or buy items you are not sure of their sources. Such could be dangerous and land someone in prison. See sec 427 of the criminal code.”
