Ogun State Police Command have arrested about 150 suspects in relation to the recent spate of crimes which caused tension for residents within the Agbado Ijaiye, Sango, Ijoko and Ifo axis.

According to the Governor of the state Dapo Abiodun on Facebook the state will not tolerate crime under any guise, hence, we immediately directed the Command and other relevant agencies to promptly move with full force against the criminals perpetrating the acts of terror, when I was briefed.

He said: “Our Government refuses to accommodate any criminal in the State, and I will ensure that any criminal caught will be dealt with ruthlessly. Going forward, criminals will not be spared from the maximum punishment permissible by law, if that is what would curb a recurrence.

I commend the agencies for their swift response and effective arrests, which have now returned order to the areas. Meanwhile, we will continue to provide necessary support to the Armed Forces to curb crimes not only in these areas but across the State.

I enjoin law-abiding residents to continue with their usual activities, comply with the stay-at-home directive, and maintain distancing and hygiene recommendations, as we all fight the COVID-19 spread in our dear State.”
