The Oyo State Police Command says it has arrested three suspected armed robbers and recovered a firearm and ammunition in Ibadan, the state capital.
The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday by its Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, and made available to journalists in Ibadan.
Ayanlade said the suspects, who allegedly operated from a hideout in the Sabo-Mokola area of Ibadan, were arrested by operatives of the command’s Monitoring Unit acting on credible intelligence.
According to him, the suspects were identified as Tomiwa Ayomide, 28; Haruna Kabiru, 32; and Haruna Hassan, also known as “Malo”, 32.
He added that a search of the hideout led to the recovery of one single-barrel, locally made cut-to-size gun and seven cartridges.
