The Ogun State Police Command says it has recorded a noticeable decline in crime rate in the first quarter of 2025 with 2,141 suspects arrested for various crimes, including robbery, kidnapping, rape, and cultism. 

The command also noted that 1,530 suspects were prosecuted between January and March 2025.

This was contained in a statement release by the Police Public relations officer, Mrs Omolola Odutola in Abeokuta for the command’s first quarter review, between January and March, 2025.

The command’s spokesperson attributed the success to the direct interface with citizens and community engagement, which helped bridge the communication gap between the police and the public.

While expressing gratitude to Governor Dapo Abiodun for the technical and logistical support as well as the cooperation of the people of the state, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lanre Ogunlowo reiterated the command’s commitment to maintaining its partnership with citizens to ensure the safety and security.

Mr Ogunlowo then appealed to parents and guardians to monitor the activities of their wards, especially with regards to cult related activities.
