The Ogun State Police Command has arrested five suspects in connection with separate incidents of shop breaking and burglary in the Ado-Odo area of the state, recovering stolen foodstuffs and other items.
Among those arrested are two teenagers who allegedly confessed to participating in multiple shop burglaries across Ado-Odo.
The command, in a statement issued on Saturday by the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Oluborode Opeyemi, said the arrests followed coordinated operations involving the police, community members and local security operatives.
According to the statement, the first incident occurred at about 3:30 a.m. on September 2, 2026, after concerned residents alerted the police that a watchman had observed suspicious movements inside a market stall.
