EKO HOTBLOG reports that Five suspected traffic robbers have been apprehended by the Lagos State Police Command, terrorizing the Ladipo and Oshodi districts of the state.

In a statement released on Thursday, state Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin said the suspects were found with a Beretta pistol and four rounds of ammo.

“Operations of the Rapid Response Squad detained three robbery suspects on April 5, 2022 at Toyota bus-stop near Oshodi, Lagos, and recovered a Beretta pistol and four rounds of ammo,” he stated.

“The prompt arrest of the traffic robbers followed a tip-off from civic-minded Lagosians to the RRS officers who were on routine patrol along Ladipo and Oshodi. The arrested suspects, preliminary investigations revealed, are members of Aro–Baga cult group.

“They include, Omuyibo Goddey, 32, alias Aro Ghetto Boy; Destiny Nwanga, 27, alias Aro Smiling God; and Ebuka Igwe, 23, alias Aro Do or Die.”

During interrogation, Hundeyin said Goddey disclosed that they were about to rob their second victim when the RRS patrol team arrived and arrested them, adding that a swift follow-up on the arrest led the RRS to their converging point at 7 Alhaji Monsuru Street, Ijegun, where two other suspects were arrested.
