The Ogun State Police Command arrested no fewer than 124 suspects for various offences in the last three months.
The State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, disclosed this while addressing newsmen at the police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
According to Alamutu, since July, the Command, in collaboration with other security agencies, “have successfully apprehended a total of One hundred and twenty four suspects for various offences”.
Alamutu disclosed that the police have also discovered the hideouts of criminals, through credible intelligence, adding that arms were recovered from the hoodlums during raids carried out by operatives.
“We equally recovered reasonable numbers of exhibits,” Alamutu told newsmen while parading some suspects.
The police boss explained that there have been “remarkable decline in sundry cases of crimes” in the past three months.
He stressed that Ogun State has experienced a noticeable decrease in incidents of kidnapping, armed robbery, land grabbing, sexual offences, “except for the recent cult related crisis/murder that engulfed Sagamu and we are closing up on the perpetrators”.
He reassured Ogun people that the Command under his watch will continue to make the state uninhabitable for all criminal elements, especially cultists and land grabbers.
