Three suspected armed robbers have been reportedly arrested by So-Safe Corps at the Agbara Industrial Estate in Ogun State.
The corps said it received information at about 10:35 p.m. on Friday that a particular vehicle had driven into a company, named Comester Manufacturing Company Limited within the Agbara Industrial Estate.
It was gathered that the mission was to cart away some items
According to a statement made available on Monday by the So-Safe Corps spokesman, Moruf Yusuf, the security agency immediately swung into action to foil the operation.
“On getting to the scene of the crime, five suspects on a stealing mission were sighted loading some items into the vehicle they brought. The team allowed them to carry out their criminal act before they pounced on them.
“Three of the five suspects, Akinsola Kabir, Toheeb Muraino and Sule Usman were apprehended, while two others escaped,” Yusuf stated.
