A 20-year-old suspected burglar, Joseph David, yesterday told officials of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) in Lagos that he paid N240,000 monthly to service his hotel bills.
 According to David, who hails from Ekpoma, Edo State, pays N8,000 daily to sleep in the hotel after robbing residents of their belongings.
The suspect was arrested at Ikeja about 4:40a.m. after he had successfully burgled two flats on Gbajobi Street, Balogun, Ikeja, where he stole three laptops and five mobile phones. 
He said that he had been lodging in hotels because he could not live in his parents’ house because, according to him, they live in a poor environment.
It was gathered that David was on his way to the hotel (name withheld) at Dopemu area, where he had been lodging for over one month when he was intercepted by the police. 
Investigations by the RRS, which were later confirmed by the suspect and some of his victims, showed that there have been repeated cases of breaking in around Gbajobi Close, Balogun, Ikeja.
