Police have arrested 17 crime suspects alleged to have been involved in armed robbery, cultism and ritual killings in Ogun State.
The suspects were paraded at the State Headquarters of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital in Nigeria’s southwest region.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr Muyiwa Adejobi, said that the suspects were arrested after a useful information from residents of the state.
He disclosed that among those arrested was a 30 year-old cobbler, a native of Cross River State who impersonated and disguised as a military officer to defraud some persons.
While assuring residents of adequate protection of life and property, Mr Adejobi sounded a note of warning to criminals in Ogun State to have a re-think of their action, expressing the Police’s readiness to combat crime.
Items recovered from the crime suspects include arms and ammunition, charms and a taxi cab allegedly being used by a three gang of robbers terrorising residents of Abeokuta.
