Ogun Police Command Busts Robbery Syndicates, Arrests Seven, Recovers Arms and Stolen Vehicles
The Ogun State Police Command has arrested seven suspects in separate intelligence-led operations across Ilaro, Ibafo, Mowe, Adatan and Ode-Remo. Recovered items include a stolen Toyota Venza, a Toyota Camry used by a one-chance robbery gang, three locally made firearms, 17 mobile phones, an HP EliteBook laptop and over N1.1 million linked to a travel scam. The suspects face charges ranging from armed robbery, one-chance robbery and cultism to unlawful possession of firearms and obtaining money by false pretences. They include Bola Salau, Segun Balogun, Emmanuel Friday, Tunde Abioye, Ankpa James, Tunde Ogunseye and Owodunni Seun. In one operation, officers intercepted the Toyota Venza, traced its rightful owner and confirmed it was stolen during an armed raid in Osun State. Another raid in Magboro led to the arrest of two alleged one-chance robbers, seizure of the Camry and stolen valuables. The command also arrested a suspect for a travel scam, recovered N1.1 million for the complainant and detained a cult member who attacked officers. Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni praised the proactive, intelligence-led approach and urged residents to submit timely tips to curb crime.
