The two armed robbers shot dead by men of the Nigerian police
Two members of a suspected armed robbery gang have been shot dead
by men of the Nigerian police during an exchange of gun fire in Oyo
state on Friday.
According to The Tribune, the gang members also killed a police
sergeant, simply identified as Solomon, attached to Ogbere Police
Station and injured a private guard during their robbery operations
before their encounter with the police.
Briefing journalists on the incident at Agugu Police Station
yesterday, the Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State,
Superintendent of Police Adekunle Ajisebutu, said that the eight-man
robbery gang invaded residences in some areas of the capital city and
robbed the occupants of their valuables.
According to the PPRO, “at about 2.30a.m., today (yesterday)
Friday, December 30, a notorious gang of dare-devil armed robbers
numbering about eight invaded Ogbere Keyinsi, Itamerin and other areas
of Ibadan for robbery operations, during which a police sergeant was
killed. The same gang also shot a private security guard, later
identified simply as Damilare. He is currently in the hospital as he was
critically injured.
“The police responded to a distress call and engaged the armed
robbers. In the course of an exchange of fire, two members of the
criminal gang were shot and fatally injured. They died shortly
afterwards. Items recovered from them include two locally-made pistols,
three cutlasses, some cartridges, iron cutter and criminal charms.”
The PPRO also said that one of the suspects disclosed his name as Tunde Ahmed, aged 28, before he gave up the ghost.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Sam Adegbuyi expresses his
appreciation to members of the public for the wonderful cooperation they
have given this command through the release of useful information. He
assured the people of the state of adequate security of their lives and
property,” Ajisebutu stated.
Speaking on the incident, a victim said that: "The armed
robbers came to my parents’ apartment at Gongosi area of Itamerin
Community, Ibadan at almost 3a.m today (Friday). They cut the burglary
proof and entered through the window. They knocked at the window of
mother’s room where I slept. They asked us to open the door, announcing
themselves as armed robbers who came to visit us. They warned us not to
make noise.
“My mother and I woke my dad and my brother up and then opened
the door for them. Three of them came in and each of them had a gun and a
cutlass. They told us: “Awa gbowo odun wa ni o” (We are here to collect
cash gift for the season). We told them we didn’t have money and they
threatened to kill my younger brother and rape me.
“Because of the threat, my brother brought out the N30,000 I
helped him to withdraw the previous day and gave them. My father gave
them N5,000 and they took my mummy’s purse and emptied it of the cash
therein. They also took my phone and my friend’s that we were charging.
They left and went to the next building.”
The PPRO assured members of the public of safety, while urging them
to continue to give information that would help the police in arresting
criminals within the society.
