The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC Oyo State Command has arrested one Onome Samuel  male age 21yrs from Delta State for robbery with a locally made Pistol on 29th of July 2021 around 9:30pm Olomi Academy area of Ibadan Oyo State.

Parading the suspect at the State Command Headquarters Agodi Ibadan, Commandant Michael Adaralewa made it known that Onome Samuel and his 3 men gang team who specialized in robbing the innocent citizens of their properties was arrested by men of NSCDC patrolling the area after the suspect was nabbed and about to be set ablaze by the mammoth crowd.

“It is an offence to put law into our hands, whenever a suspect is apprehended let’s hand over to the Security agencies around and stop jungle justice,” said Commandant Adaralewa.

Meanwhile, Commandant Michael Adaralewa stressed further by saying that the other two members of the gang Sodiq and Toheeb who were at large at the time of the arrest were made to know that they all based in Ikorodu Lagos State and Onome Samuel confessed that he used to connect with his team on phone when they wanted to go on an operation.

Exhibits recovered from the suspect includes one locally made Pistol which he said he bought for ₦50, 000, and four live cartridges.

After the completion of the investigation, the suspect would be handed over to the Nigeria Police for further investigations and prosecution.

Though NSCDC has the mandate to prosecute any criminal offences but, because it involved robbery and two other suspects were at large, this would enable the police to probe further on the activities of the suspect who came to rob in Ibadan from neighbouring state.

Commandant Adaralewa assured the good people of Oyo State adequate security of lives and property as the men of NSCDC will intensify effort in patrolling every nook and cranny of the State as well as collaborate with sister agencies to rid of the State’s Criminal elements in our Community.
