The Lagos State Police Command has taken legal action against two individuals, Jamiu Olalekan (31) and Oni Adeola (27), accused of committing ‘one-chance’ armed robberies in Abule-Egba and its surroundings.
Quest Times reports that SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the State Police Public Relations Officer, announced the development in a statement on his X account on Saturday.
Earlier this month, three alleged ‘one-chance’ armed robbers were intercepted by operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority near Jubilee Bridge in Abule-Egba.
Despite one managing to escape, the other two, along with their operational vehicle, a ‘T4’ commercial bus with the number plate APP 406 YE, were captured at the U-turn area of Abule-Egba.
Eyewitnesses who observed the suspects ejecting a victim from their vehicle pursued them, leading to their apprehension.
Moreover, the vigilant citizens handed over the culprits to the police at the Ile-Epo Division for further investigation.
Providing an update on the case, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Police Public Relations Officer, shared a photo of the suspects, stating, “Following the conclusion of investigations, the suspects, Jamiu Olalekan aged 31 and Oni Adeola aged 27, have been arraigned, while their operational vehicle remains
impounded.”
