Two suspected armed robbers, Edehikenna Daniel Stanley and Segun Tope, were arrested by the police in Ogun State on Saturday.
They were carrying out a robbery operation at Crown Park company situated at Ota industrial estate when they were arrested.

Upon the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Onipanu division, CSP Bamidele Job, quickly mobilised his men and moved to the scene.
On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums who had stolen two heavy industrial batteries took to their heels, but they were hotly chased and two of them were apprehended.
Recovered from them are: two industrial batteries, a toy gun with which they used to instill fear in the mind of the security men and two knives.
The two suspects have been transferred to the state criminal investigation and intelligence department on the order of the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, for discreet investigation.
