Three guys have been arrested by Ogun State’s So-Safe Corps on suspicion of being part of an armed robbery gang that has been terrorizing the Onibudo neighborhood.
Under the direction of Ige Olurotimi, the Isheri Akute Area Commander, the So-Safe division in Adiyan-Alausa, Onibudo, made the arrests on Sunday.
The suspects were identified by the So-Safe spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, as Kacha, a resident of Omega Street 20, Onibudo, Yusuf Muhammed, a resident of the neighborhood, and Muhammed Adamu, a resident of Under Bridge in Akute. He also stated that they were apprehended at the Tipper Garage, Onibudo, in the Ifo Local Government Area.
According to Yusuf, the State Commander of So-Safe Corps, Soji Ganzallo, had earlier given a marching order to his men, asking them to go after “the notorious four men, known to be specialized in robbing people of their belongings.”
It was learnt that the corps got information on Sunday that the gang had snatched a motorbike at gun point and escaped with it.
“The patrol team of the Corps in Adiyan-Alausa Onibudo Division was directed to go after the suspects and few minutes later, they were successfully apprehended,” Yusuf said.
He spoke further that two cut-to-size pistols, two life catridges, one iron bar and charms were recovered from the suspects.
He added that the suspects and the items recovered had been transfered to the police at Ajuwon division for further investigation and likely prosecution.
