Joseph Nwakpe and other individuals are being sought by the Ogun State Police Command on suspicion of stealing and diverting Knorr seasoning products worth N40.6 million.
According to a police source, Nwakpe and other individuals were hired by Pedro Okanlawon, a transport manager at Lap Global Resource, to deliver 2,085 cases of Knorr seasoning from Agbara to Onitsha and Port Harcourt.
The source claims that the product-transporting truck was a specially painted Mercedes Benz with the registration and engine numbers 3364N244722 and “Never give up” and “Ifeomachukwu” inscribed on the front view, respectively.

Okanlawon, a Lagos-based transport manager, was said to have made several attempts to reach Nwakpe and others through the phone to find out about their movement.
But when all efforts to know the whereabouts of the fleeing suspects failed, the victim filed a petition against them at a police station in Agbara.
Anaedoonlinev.ng Metro gathered that following an investigation by the police, the driver of the truck, identified as Danladi Suleiman of the Ayetoro area of Agbara/Badagry Expressway, was arrested on September 5, 2023.
Contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed the incident, noted that though the arrested suspect had since confessed to the crime, further investigation was ongoing.
