The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspected armed robbers, who robbed and attacked a Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Alausa Ikeja, CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda with a machete.

The commandโ€™s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Tuesday.

Hundeyin said that on April 9, at about 11.00 p.m., the Alausa division was on a sting operation at Otedola Bridge, Alausa Ikeja.

According to him, while the officers were at the bridge, a gang of three suspected armed robbers emerged from their hideout and suddenly attacked the DPO Alausa with cutlasses and other dangerous weapons.

He further stated that the suspects also made away with Abaniwondaโ€™s Samsung S22 phone, adding that the suspects escaped to an unknown destination after the attack.

โ€œSubsequently, on April 13, at about 10.00 a.m., intelligence gathering showed that the said suspects were sighted hiding at a hotel in Akute area of Ajuwon Ogun.

โ€œUpon receipt of this information, the anti-crime team of the division moved swiftly to the location and arrested a 29-year old suspect, popularly known as (THUG LIFE), who happened to be the ringleader of the group.

โ€œOne other suspect, 25, was also arrested with the ring leader in the hotel. They were taken to the police station for investigation with exhibits found on them,โ€ he said.

Hundeyin further said that investigation revealed that the suspect forcefully snatched the handset from the DPO after attacking her with a machete on the back.

He said further efforts led to the arrest of the 25-year-old third suspect.

โ€œFurther investigation revealed that the ring leader has been robbing on Otedola Bridge for the past five years, but changing his boys every time for operations,โ€ he said.
