The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a gang of armed robbers, including a couple Amache and Seun Augustine with two accomplices Taiwo Dada and Ezekiel Alawode who allegedly went to rob in an estate at Abule Lemode in the Ijoko area of the state.

The suspects, who were in possession of a locally-made pistol, were first apprehended at about 9.30pm on Saturday, January 17.by the members of the local vigilance groupbefore they were handed over to the Agbado Police Division, Ayinla, on Sunday.

One of the victims, Mr. Rasheed Akinwande, said the robbers stole cash and recharge cards from his house.

He said, “It was at about 9pm when they got to my apartment. They were two men and two women ─ Amache and his wife with another man and woman. But the couple did not come inside my house. Instead, two strange faces, who wore black jackets and jean, broke through my windows, and pointed a gun at me.

“They asked everyone to lie down, and they collected money ─ about N6,000 that they found in the house. They demanded more, and they even packed the recharge cards which my wife was selling. Few minutes later, we began to hear gunshots in the environment. The robbers fled. But the local vigilance group apprehended them eventually.”

Stephen Adesoji, the General Secretary of the estate’s community development association said :“Two of the suspects were a husband and wife, and they live with us in the estate. They invited two others to perpetrate the crime. It was the security man they connived with who later alerted us that robbery was going on, and we informed the vigilance group.”

 The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the arrest. He said, “The suspects are now at the SCID where further investigation is ongoing.”
