The Ondo State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of three suspected members of a notorious interstate armed robbery syndicate allegedly responsible for a series of violent robberies across Ondo and Lagos states.
The Command also said that its operatives foiled a potentially deadly clash over a land dispute in Ore, leading to the arrest of seven suspects and the recovery of firearms and other dangerous weapons.
The Commissioner of Police in Ondo State, Felix Ohagwu, disclosed the arrest during a press briefing on Monday, describing the operations as major breakthroughs in the Command's ongoing efforts to combat violent crime through intelligence-led policing.
The Police Commissioner commended Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for supporting security operations in the state and acknowledged the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, for providing strategic direction to the Force.
