A woman, Chioma Okafor, and 19-year-old Nweke Joshua, has been arrested by the men of the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly robbing traders with toy guns in the state.
According to The PUNCH, this was disclosed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi.
According to him, the suspects were arrested last week Friday during an operation at Adesan, Mowe, in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
Oyeyemi said “Upon receiving the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, Mowe Division, SP Folake Afeniforo, quickly mobilised the division’s patrol team and men of the So Safe Corps to the scene where the two suspects were arrested.
“On searching them, it was discovered that they came to rob the shop with toy guns which looked perfectly like original pistols. On interrogation, 19-year-old Nweke Joshua informed the police that it was Chioma Okafor who came with the idea of carrying out the robbery operation in order for them to have some money.”
Oyeyemi also stated that, the state’s police commissioner, Lanre Bankole, has ordered that the suspects be transferred to the state’s criminal investigation departments for discreet investigation.
