The suspects
Six robbery suspects who operated in military uniform along the Lagos-Ore-Benin expressway were on Tuesday paraded by the Ogun State Police Command.
They were arrested by the operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) after they were fished out from their different hideouts within and outside the state.
Those arrested were Ikechukwu Alore, Ifeanyi Emmanuel, Chibueze Kingsley, Obiora Michael, Elias John and Vincent Magnus.
Also paraded were two armed herdsmen, who abducted and raped a 16-year-old girl at Afowowa Farm Settlement in Ewekoro local government area of the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, said the Command would continue to rid out criminals.
The Police boss said the herders were arrested by a police team from Ewekoro Division following a distress call that the duo of Abubakar Adamu and Muhammadu Aliyu, and three others gang-raped one Aminat Okeshola in a cassava plantation.
They were said to have dispossessed her of the sum of N140,000.
Items recovered from the 7-man robbery gang included 3-sets of military camouflage uniform, a military vest, a nose mask in army camouflage, a military head warmer and camouflage bag as well as an imitation gun, wrapped in cellotape.
Others recovered from the armed herdsmen included one Jackknife and two long sticks.
