The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
Oyeyemi explained that the suspect was arrested following a report by one of his victims, Amudalat Opaleye.
The PPRO said Opaleye, a resident of Kano Street Ayetoro, lodged a complaint at Ayetoro Police Station that about 6am on Tuesday, the suspect sneaked into her room and stole her pants.

According to Oyeyemi, upon the report, the DPO Ayetoro CSP Mobolaji Jimoh detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
“A search warrant was executed in his house and another 14 used female pants were recovered there.
“The suspect has confessed to the crime but claimed that someone sent him to get those pants. Effort is on top gear to get his so called accomplice arrested,” he added.
The PPRO said the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, had directed that the suspect be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
