The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a “notorious confraternity leader,” identified as Akibu Tikare.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, who confirmed the arrest said the suspected cultist had been “on the wanted list of the Ogun State Command before now.
The Police PRO said he was arrested at the scene of a robbery operation by policemen attached to Ogijo division on Saturday, October 24.
“He was arrested following a distress call received at Ogijo division at about 9:30pm that a group of armed robbers were operating between Gbaga and Kamalu area of Ogijo, robbing people of their belongings at gunpoint.”
“Some of the victims have identified him as one of those that robbed them of their property including but not limited to phones and cash,” he said.
