The Anti-Robbery Team of Ogun State Police Command successfully apprehended two suspected armed robbers - Adeyinka Onakomaya, 46, and Olayiwola Kehinde, 48 - and seized three locally made pistols along with 18 live cartridges. The operation was conducted across Ogun and Lagos states, following months of intelligence gathering after recovering a stolen red Toyota Matrix in April 2026.
The connection to the stolen vehicle led detectives to the suspects' hideouts, resulting in their arrest in Babaode, Ota, and the Command area of Lagos State. Preliminary investigations revealed that Onakomaya and Kehinde, along with other gang members, organized the April robbery and were involved in a string of violent vehicle snatchings across various regions in Ogun State.
Both suspects confessed during interrogation to their roles in several armed robbery operations within the state. The Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, praised the police for their tenacity and efficiency in the operation, emphasizing the Command's commitment to dismantling armed robbery networks and making Ogun State unsafe for criminals. The police urge the public to assist by reporting any suspicious activities.
