The Ogun State Police Command's Violent Crime Response Unit successfully apprehended two suspects linked to a notorious 'one chance' robbery gang operating in Abeokuta. The operation, executed on Saturday, was sparked by intelligence gathered by the command. The suspects, aged 42 and 29, were identified as Olajide Rasaq and Bidemi Tijani.
They were caught after the VCRU intercepted a taxi they were riding in, en route to Ita-Oshin area. The two confessed during subsequent questioning that they were active members of the syndicate, notorious for impersonating commercial taxi drivers to steal phones, cash, and valuables from unsuspecting passengers. Police spokesperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the arrests and said more suspects were being sought.
State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, praised the operatives for their swift action and tactical skills, adding that the police remain committed to rooting out criminal elements from Ogun State. He urged residents and commuters to remain alert and report suspicious activity to the authorities.
