According to a statement by the image maker of the command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect who was arrested on 9 June 2020 had been arrested, charged to court and convicted in the past by a competent law court for similar offence.
Oyeyemi added that “not quite long after he was released from prison custody, residents of Agbado started noticing series of robbery incidents”.
“On noticing this, the DPO Agbado Police Division, SP Kuranga Yero embarked on intelligence based investigation through which the detectives got clue leading to the suspect’s arrest”.
He added that, “On interogation, he confessed been the person carrying out series of robbery operation in Agbado and its environs in collaboration with one man who he simply identified as Rafiu, who is presently at large”.
Things seized from him included a local-made pistol cut to fit, four live cartridges and a sharp knife.
The Ogun State Police Commissioner, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, has, meanwhile, ordered the suspect's immediate transfer to the Special Anti-Robbery Squads (SARS) for discreet investigation.
He also directed that his partner, Rafiu, now at large, must be hunted and brought to justice.
