Operatives of the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos, have arrested six suspected armed robbers in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, following a coordinated operation carried out shortly after the suspects allegedly struck in Lagos.
The arrests were effected by officers of the Dragon Team under the directive of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG, Zone 2 Command, Adegoke Fayoade.
Confirming the development, the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Umma Ayuba, identified the suspects as Shola, Pelumi, Gbenga, Zacchaeus, Tunde, and Saheed.
She said the arrests were made possible through credible intelligence and swift operational response.
“The arrests followed a series of complaints received by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2 Command, prompting the deployment of operatives from the Dragon Team to investigate, track, and apprehend the perpetrators,” Ayuba explained.
According to her, the breakthrough came on October 5, 2025, at about 10:00 p.m., when the tactical team tracked the suspects to their hideout in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State, shortly after a robbery operation.
“The raid led to the arrest of the six suspects and the recovery of two locally made pistols, thirty live cartridges, and a wine-coloured Toyota Camry with registration number KNN 383 BU,” she added.
CSP Ayuba also noted that the AIG praised residents for their continued cooperation with security agencies, assuring that the police remain fully committed to ensuring peace and security across Lagos and Ogun States under Zone 2 Command.
She quoted the AIG as urging members of the public to remain vigilant and continue to provide timely and credible information to aid the police in their efforts to combat crime and protect lives and property.
