Two suspects have been apprehended by officers from the Ewekoro Division of the Ogun State Police Command in a successful thwarting of a hostel robbery. The suspects, Waris Dauda and Tiamiyu Abiodun, were arrested around 2:40 am following an anonymous distress call reporting armed gang activity targeting students in Eruku/Agbon.
The suspects abandoned their stolen loot, consisting of 11 iPhones, an HP laptop, and various clothing items, in a school bag upon encountering the officers. The suspects were subsequently apprehended, and victims confirmed the recovery of their stolen property. Preliminary investigations revealed that the gang coerced one victim into transferring N200,000 to a specific account.
Active investigations are underway to locate the gang members and identify the beneficiary account owner. The State Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, commended the Ewekoro operatives for their quick response and unwavering dedication to public safety. The Command also urged off-campus student hostels and landlords to stay vigilant and report any security threats or suspicious activities promptly via the Gateway Shield Toll-Free Line.
