Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested four members of an armed robbery gang for allegedly hijacking a truckload of Golden Penny Flour on the Sagamu/Ijebu-Ode Expressway.
The suspects, Eze Sopruchuckwu, 34; Eze Edeh, 29; Olalekan Muritala, 44; and Samuel Johnson, 32, reportedly tied the driver and the motor boy’s hands to their backs, gagged their mouths and took away the truck and its content.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
Oyeyemi said, “The suspects were arrested following a report lodged at the Ikenne Divisional Police Headquarters that a truck with number plate ANG 57 LG, loaded with 600 bags of Golden Penny Flour, and driven by one Ahmed Tiamiyu was hijacked along the expressway.
