The Ogun State Police Command says it shot dead three suspected armed
robbers on Saturday in the Fidiwo area on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
A police report indicated that the suspects were shot dead while attacking a popular bush meat seller at Owode-Egba.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the
Divisional Police Officer, Owode-Egba Police Station, Shehu Alao,
received a call that the suspects were attacking the bush meat seller
and he led the anti-robbery team to the scene.
He said on getting to the scene, the suspects engaged the policemen in a shootout for about 30 minutes.
At the end of the encounter, Oyeyemi said three members of the gang were
killed, while others escaped into a nearby bush with gunshot wounds.
He said, “Three types of guns, one live cartridge, a wristwatch
belonging to the victim of the attack, and N10,220 were recovered from
the suspects.
“The state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, who commended the men
for their gallantry display and quick response, has ordered for a
serious manhunt of the fleeing members of the gang.
“He also appealed to members of the public, especially hospitals,
traditional healers and other health officials to report to the police
if anybody with gunshot injuries is seen around their area.”
