The Oyo State Police Command has arrested three suspects, Chigbo Mesoma, 24, Erondu Wisdom, 29, and Okechukwu Emmanuel, 25, in connection with an armed robbery incident in Ibadan. The police recovered goods worth N31.75 million, including a Howo Long vehicle loaded with 2,000 bags of Karma Agric Chicken Feeds, a cutlass, and an additional Lagos State vehicle number plate.

The operation was triggered by a tip-off from the public after a businessman, Ezekiel Inije, was robbed at gunpoint by a five-man gang along the Coca-Cola area, Asejire, Ibadan. Commissioner of Police, Femi Haruna, commended the operatives for their swift response and professionalism, and appreciated the public’s timely intelligence.

The suspects have confessed to their involvement and are cooperating with the ongoing investigation. The police command reassured the public that efforts are being intensified to rid the state of armed robbery and other criminal activities.
