“I told the police where the cameras were in that area,” he said, “the fact that the guy had smashed up my window, and the worrying and all that it caused.”
He added that when he contacted the police to report the incident, the situation took an unexpected turn.
“Immediately after the police got in touch with me, the next thing was they now began an investigation where I was now the suspect,” he said. “Yes, I was now the suspect.”
Despite being the victim of a robbery attack, Olarewaju said he was called in for questioning and was made to hire a lawyer to defend himself. The investigation dragged on for three months before the case was eventually dropped due to lack of evidence.
“The police never found the young man who they saw on camera, but I was being investigated for affray,” he revealed.
