He was arrested on Sunday, June 29, 2025, in connection with the alleged theft of company vehicles.

“I must say that as of this afternoon, we have retrieved three vehicles; the said vehicles that were stolen by him have been retrieved, so he is really assisting us in the investigation, and we will take it up from there,” added.
