Two armed robbery suspects have been arrested by police on their way to a robbery operation along Awa Ijebu- jebu Ode Expressway in Ogun State. .
The suspects are 32 years old Odukoya Ayomide and 32 years old Abiodun Oyenuga.
They were apprehended on the expressway on August 25, 2020 when the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Awa Ijebu, CSP Adewalehinmi Joseph, led a team on a routine patrol of the area.
The suspects who are on motorcycle quickly jumped down on sighting the policemen and took to their heels.
They were hotly chased and one of them, Odukoya Ayomide, was apprehended with a locally made cut to size double barrel gun while the second suspect escaped through the nearby bush.
The arrested suspect informed the police on interrogation that his fleeing partner was the person who invited him from Ijebu Ode for robbery operation and that they were just going to carry out the operation when they were caught by the police.
The useful information obtained from the arrested suspect led the police to Shagamu where Abiodun Oyenuga, his fleeing partner, was arrested on August, 2020.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the robbery suspects to Special Anti-Robbery Squads, SARS, for discreet investigation.
The CP therefore warned those who are criminally minded to leave the state as the command would make it too hot for them under his watch.
