Two suspected armed robbers: Edehikenna Daniel Stanley and Segun Tope, have been caught in action by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command while robbing a company, Crown Park, situated in Ota industrial Estate.
The spokesman of the Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement said the suspects were nabbed on October 30.
According to Oyeyemi in the statement on Sunday, Stanley and Tope were caught following a distress call received by the policemen in Onipanu Divisional Headquarters at about 3am that robbers had invaded the company and were holding the security men there hostage.
Upon the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police Bamidele Job, quickly mobilised his men and moved to the scene.
On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums, who had stolen two heavy industrial batteries, took to flight, but they were hotly chased and two of them apprehended.
Recovered from them were two industrial batteries, a toy gun with which they used to instil fear in the mind of the security men and two knives.
The two suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department on the order of the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, for discreet investigation.
