Men of Ogun State Police Command on Friday arrested three suspected land grabbers at Itusokun quarter in Odogbolu area of the state.
The suspects were arrested following a report lodged at Odogbolu divisional headquarters by one Kemi Olukoya that while she was at her new site supervising construction workers, a group of boys numbering about eight invaded the site, and started shooting sporadically.
She said they chased workers out of the site and snatched her bag containing N5,000.00 and her handsets valued at N40,000.00 at gun point.
Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Odogbolu Division, SP Adeniyi Awokunle, mobilised his men, and moved to the scene.
On getting there, the hoodlums were seen escaping through the nearby bush; they were hotly chased and one of them, Wasiu Adenuga, was subsequently apprehended.
Further combing of the bush led to the arrest of two others – Michael John and Moruf Alaba.
Three Bajaj motorcycles they used for their operation were also impounded.
The victim, the police said, had identified the three of them as members of the gang that attacked her and her workers.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation.
He also directed that the remaining members of the gang be hunted for and brought to justice.
