Men of Ogun State police command has arrested the duo of Ayomide Joseph ‘m’ 19yrs and Olajide Ajisomo ‘m’ 20yrs for robbing two brothers at gun point around Mowe in Obafemi Owode local government area.
According to a statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday by State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, they were arrested on April 1.
Oyeyemi noted that the two suspects were arrested following a report lodged at Mowe police station by one Adegoke Sodipe who reported that while he was coming from Lagos with his brother, they were attacked at Ikugbonmire junction Mowe by three armed robbery suspects .
He said they were dispossessed of their personal belongings which included Infinix phone valued at N25,000, UBA ATM CARD, and So-safe corps identity card.
He stated further that they raised alarm which attracted passerby and one of the hoodlums was apprehended by members of public.
“Upon the report, the DPO Mowe division SP Marvis Jayeola, quickly dispatched his detectives to the scene where the arrested member of the gang was handed over to the police.
“Having taken possession of the suspect, the operatives embarked on intelligent based investigation which led to the arrest of the second suspect. A locally made double barrel shot gun was recovered from them,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered that the suspects be transferred to Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) for discreet investigation.
