A month after they conducted an operation in the state, Ogun State Police Command agents have detained four alleged robbers.
The suspects, Opeyemi Adebayo (26), Sherrif Kamoru (28), Rabiu Seyidu (37), and Ajibola Fakolade (21), were part of a robbery gang that terrorised Sango-Ota and its surrounding areas in the state.
SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state’s police public relations officer, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
He claimed that the suspects were apprehended as a result of a complaint made by one Adeleye Sunday on March 20, 2023 and submitted to the Sango divisional headquarters.
According to the PPRO, the victim said that at around 5:30 am, in the Joju neighbourhood of Sango-Ota, some armed criminals attacked him.

Oyeyemi said, “He stated further that the hoodlums dispossessed him of his two phones after inflicting a matchet cut on his neck.
“Having taken away his phones, the hoodlums syphoned the sum of N600,000 from his account through the bank’s app on the phone.
“Upon the report, the DPO Sango-Ota division, CSP Saleh Dahiru, detailed his detectives to technically trace the suspects and bring them to justice.
“The detectives swung into action, and acting on credible intelligence, the hideout of the suspects was located and four of them were apprehended.
Items recovered from the suspects are one cutlass, one techno POP 2f belonging to the victim and a nose mask used by one of them during the operation.
Oyeyemi, however, said the Commissioner of Police, CP Olanrewaju Oladimeji, has directed that the suspects be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Departments for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
