The Oyo State Police Command has uncovered the hide out of notorious robbers who have been terrorising Oyo and Ogbomosho axis of the state by looting, raping and killing residents.

The discovery led to a shootout between the gang of robbers and the police, with the police killing one of the robbers while two others sustained serious gun injury.

The Oyo State Police Command, Mohammed Katsina, said the command had been trailing the gang since May, when they robbed a household of their valuables and raped the women in the house.

While describing the latest feat as a significant one, Mr Katsina added that the command would not rest until the path of decency and lawful conduct was entrenched within the state and adjoining environs.

Mr Katsina expressed gratitude for support of members of the public and also gave assurances that the war on crime would continue.
