The police in Ogun State on Sunday paraded five teenage suspected armed robbers operating on Lagos-Ibadan highway.
Three of the victims had earlier been arrested while two others escaped But, on Sunday, the police in Ogun State said “the remaining two members of robbery syndicate have been arrested.”
The police said they were apprehended by operatives of Ogun State Special Anti Robbery Squads (SARS).
The state Police Spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, identified the two suspects as Yinusa Isah and Ibrahim Muhammed.
Oyeyemi said they were traced to Lokoja in Kogi State by the CSP Tijani Muhammed-led SARS.
The SARS unit of the force took over the case from Owode Egba division, where the first three members of the gang were earlier arrested.
The gang, according to Oyeyemi, had on July 17 blocked the Alapako end of Lagos-Ibadan highway, where they forcefully stopped a Mazda commercial bus with two occupants and subsequently dispossessed the occupants of a cash sum of N545,000 and an itel phone after beaten them black and blue with cutlasses.
The case, it was gathered was transferred to SARS, where the suspects made useful statements that led the operatives to Lokoja, where the remaining two members of the gang were apprehended on Thursday.
Three cutlasses and a wood crafted to look like a gun were reportedly recovered from the suspects.

ReplyDeleteTeenagers, turned robbers. Beating your fellow humans with cutlasses? That's wicked.
ReplyDeleteAwon omokomo,may God change their damaged lives.
ReplyDeleteAmen...such a pity
DeleteMay God keep protecting us from criminals. These ones started from a very young age... Oh, what a pity!

ReplyDeleteThey all look like Filani. They are the ones mostly kidnapping. see small almajiri children.
ReplyDeleteHian
ReplyDeleteWho do we blame now?
The kids or their parents?
No sympathy at all.
I'm sure the person's they beat up was older
OMG. Such a wasted soul. All for vanity.
ReplyDeleteSee how young they are and they have entered road with their criminal . By the time this ones goes to prison and come out, hmm!
ReplyDeleteThese ones have started crime at a young age. They should face the full weight of the law.
ReplyDeleteYoung promising stars,so this is the path of life they choose for themselves
ReplyDeleteTheir facial features clearly shows these boys are heardsmen boys,either Nigerian fulanis or chad and co fulanis.
ReplyDeleteMy exact thought.
DeleteSmh....what a pity
ReplyDeleteStella, truly, look at them. Teens that has a lot ahead of them. Nawa o.
ReplyDeleteLasisi was right afterall🤔.. He said and I quote "these boys are small small a boys, they can destroy a man, they don't know how to speak English but they carry bomb in their pocket, they are dangerous boys"
ReplyDeleteIts a shame really. The smallest unit of the society has failed too
ReplyDeleteFREE and COMPULSORY EDUCATION to senior secondary school/technical school level WITH STANDARDIZED SKILLS ACQUISITION for every Nigerian child is the solution.
ReplyDeleteNo almajiri.
No child-herdsman.
No parental consent.
Federal Government wake up to your responsibilities.
Na wah oo. Small children wey don get liver
ReplyDeleteOnly an insane country like Nigeria will parade obviously underaged teenagers like this.no matter what they have done.
ReplyDelete@ anon 14:01 what are you trying to say?. Did you read the story? If you were the one attacked by them, will your comment still be the same? Crime is crime irrespective of age especially when it's even among people who should be able to distinguish evil from good.
DeleteFulani!
