THE OGUN STATE Police Command on Sunday has arrested three suspected armed robbers terrorising residents in parts of the state.

The Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) of Ogun State Command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi made this known in a statement made available to thedispatch newspaper. 

He said the three suspects arrested on May 24, 2020 were arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command following a distress call received by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Agbara Division, SP Saleh Dahiru, that armed robbers have invaded Idanyin community and have been raiding house to house dispossessing their victims of their belongings and inflicting various degrees of injury on them.

"The DPO quickly led his anti-robbery team to the scene and met the robbers attacking the residences of one Barrister Kamieyefa Omosivwe and that of Oluyemi Olajide.

"On sighting the police, the robbers launch an attack on them, but they were over-powered and three members of the gang were eventually arrested while one of them escaped.

"The arrested members are: Toheed Salami, Ibrahim Ismaila and Michael Abiodun.

"Recovered from them are two locally made short guns. The injured victim has been taken to hospital for medical attention.

"Meanwhile, the commissioner of police CP Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to special anti robbery squads, SARS for discreet investigation," the reports said.
