Police Arrest Suspects Following Crisis In Ifo Area Of Ogun State.
The Police
in Ogun State have made some arrests in the wake of a crisis that broke out in
Ifo local government area of Ogun state as a result of supremacy battle between
two rival cult groups.
What seemed a mere clash on Friday, April 10,
degenerated into robberies and other criminal activities thus prompting steeper
measures to be taken by the Police Force to get the situation under control.
The state’s police command in a bid to nip
the crisis at its bud deployed a large number of policemen including SARS, anti-cultist
unit, anti-kidnapping units as well as conventional policemen were drawn from
all adjoining police stations in the area under the command of the Area
Commander, ACP Monday Agbonika to restore normalcy and bring the hoodlums to
book.
In compliance with the directives of the
commissioner of police, the teams moved into the area and embarked on
aggressive and intelligence-based patrol of the entire area of Ifo, Owode
Ijako, Joju, Ijoko, and Agbado area.
Their efforts yielded positive results as
five of the hoodlums were apprehended in the Ijako area of Sango Ota.
Those apprehended include Lucky (m 22),
Badmus Sodiq (m’ 27), Showumi Femi (m’ 21), Adeagbo Adewumi (m’ 22) and Agboola
Femi (m’ 21).
The patrol team also moved to Winners church
area along Idiroko road where another suspect Adekunle Okeoye (m’ 23) was
arrested with a brand new locally made short gun loaded with five live
cartridges and assorted charms.
Also, the operatives extended their
operations to Araromi community in Agbado where three other suspects namely
Sulaiman Ogunbiyi, aka Absorver federal, Saminu Adamu and Nasiru Umar were
arrested with facemask and assorted charms.
Earlier, ten of the hoodlums had been picked
up at various locations in Ifo, Kajola and Ososun areas of Ifo local government
by SARS operatives.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police CP
Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered that all the arrested suspects be transferred to
special anti-robbery squads SARS for discreet investigation. He equally ordered
the continuation of the operation until the last of the hoodlums is arrested.
The CP, therefore, appealed to members of the
public not to be unnecessarily apprehensive as the command will continue to do
everything within its power to ensure that the good people of Ogun state enjoy
adequate security during and after this trying period in the country.
