The State-owned Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps (So-Safe Corps) Adiyan-Alausa Onibudo Division under the supervision of Isheri Akute Area Commander ACC Ige Olurotimi last weekend arrested three armed syndicates suspected to be terrorising the people of the area.
According to a press release which was issued from the office of the State Commander of the Corps, through the office of the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Corps, Assistant Commander Moruf Yusuf, said that the three armed men, Kacha, a resident of 20, Omega Street, Onibudo; Yusuf Muhammed, who resides within Onibudo and Muhammed Adamu who resides at under bridge in Akute, were arrested at the Tipper Garage, Onibudo in Ifo Local Government Area, while one escaped during the arrest.
Ganzallo noted that, some months back, the officers of the Corps in Adiyan – Alausa Onibudo were put on their toes to ensure the notorious gang members who are four in numbers known to be specialized in robbing people of their belongings in the axis were arrested.
He further explained that on that Sunday, acting on information received by the Corps that the syndicate had again hijacked a motorbike on gun point and escaped with it, the patrol team of the Corps in Adiyan-Alausa Onibudo Division were directed to go after the syndicates and few minutes later, they were successfully apprehended.
He said further that the men’s standing position was suspicious, like they were ready to hit another target.
Ganzallo stressed that his men have been instructed to be pro-active and should not fold their arms and wait till crimes are perpetrated. This instruction is now yielding a positive result.
You will see some middle-aged men looking innocent but when they are put on surveillance, you will find out that they have criminal intent.
During preliminary investigation two cut-to-size pistols, two life catridges, one iron bar and a set of charms were found on the suspects.
The suspects and the exhibits had been transfered to the Nigeria Police Force, Ajuwon Divisional Police Headquarter for further investigation and likely prosecution.
