Two suspects, Abiodun Ogundele and Opeyemi Olatunbosun have been nabbed by the police for allegedly snatching a motorcycle at gunpoint in Ogun State.
The Ogun State police command said the two, who “specialize in snatching motorcycles in Sango Ota and its environs”, were arrested on May 10.
DAILY POST gathered that their arrest followed a distress call received at Sango divisional police headquarters at about 8pm, reporting that a motorcyclist, one Adesoji David, was being attacked at Joju area of Sango by the “armed hoodlums”.
“Upon the distress call, the DPO of Sango Ota, CSP Godwin Idehai, quickly mobilized his men and moved to the scene. On sighting the policemen, the suspects, who had already snatched the victim’s Bajaj motorcycle, took to flight but were hotly chased and two amongst them were arrested, while the other one escaped,” police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi confirmed.

Ochochepo Isa cast his net upon the water. It was a late September morning and the second time that day he was fishing at the Ikere Gorge Dam in Iseyin in Oyo State.
He looked forlorn. His catch had been poor, only 11 pieces of tilapia fish as of 2 p.m. “No fish in this river anymore,” shrugged the fisherman, an Idoma from Benue State in the north central region of Nigeria.
How can a 565 million cubic metres reservoir, the biggest in Southwest Nigeria, run out of fish?
Ikere Gorge Dam is one of the major dams constructed by the Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority to tap the water resources of the Ogun River basin.
