The Ogun State Police Command on Wednesday indicated its operatives recovered three stolen vehicles and arrested two suspected armed robbers during a special operation launched to combat rising cases of armed robbery in Ifo and Sango areas of the state. Recovered during the operation were two live cartridges, foreign currencies, one So-Safe Corps uniform, one MP3 sound system and one plasma television set.
The Divisional Police Officers for Ifo and Sango divisions, CSP Kamorudeen Olabisi and CSP Idowu Olatunji, respectively, were showed to have led the operations in their jurisdictions. The spokesperson for the state police command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, this in a public address made available to journalists on Wednesday.
The latest operation comes amid renewed efforts by security agencies across Ogun State to curb incidents of armed robbery, vehicle snatching and other violent crimes in border communities and commercial hubs around Sango-Ota and Ifo. Babaseyi indicated the breakthrough followed sustained intelligence-led investigations into earlier reported cases of armed robbery and vehicle snatching.
“Acting on credible intelligence on Saturday, 10th May 2026, detectives of Ifo Division stormed a suspected criminal hideout in Adeleye Area, Itele, Ota, where stolen vehicles were allegedly concealed. “On arrival at about 4:00 p. m., operatives sighted the suspected stolen vehicles within the premises and immediately cordoned off the area, laying strategic ambush for the occupants who were not present at the time.
