Men of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested three brothers and one
other over a series of robberies in the Ijebu-Ode area of the state.
The suspects, Hammed Jagbojagbo, Idris Jagbojagbo, Tobi Jagbojagbo
and Tosin Ogundeko, were arrested following a distress call received at the
Igbeba divisional headquarters.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement on Monday, said the police were
informed that armed robbers invaded the shop of a lottery agent at the
Odi-Olowo area of Ijebu-Ode and dispossessed him of N90,000.
Oyeyemi said, “The robbers also snatched a Bajaj motorcycle belonging to one
Clement Conleth.
“Upon the distress call, the DPO, Igbeba division,
CSP Musiliu Doga, quickly led his patrol team to the scene, gave the robbers a
hot chase and succeeded in arresting one of them, Tosin Ogundeko, from whom
the Bajaj motorcycle was recovered.
“Tosin Ogundeko subsequently led detectives to their hideout in Epe, Lagos
State, where three others were apprehended, while one of them, simply
identified as Tosin, aka Socket, escaped.”
The PPRO stated that
the suspects confessed to being responsible for various motorcycle-snatching
operations in Ijebu-Ode and its environs.
He noted that the
suspects confessed further that they were all based in Epe, but chose
Ijebu-Ode as their area of operation.
According to Oyeyemi, one
cut-to-size locally-made gun and one Bajaj motorcycle were recovered from the
suspects.
He said the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole,
had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal
Investigation Department for discreet investigation.
