Daredevil bandits terrorising travellers along the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway recently met waterloo as the Ogun State Police Command confirmed the termination of seven of them within a week during gun duels.
According to the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, no fewer than 10 suspects who had been allegedly linked with various robbery cases on the high ways have been arrested.
Speaking further, Adejobi said the police boss divided the expressways into smaller beats of four kilometres for easy patrol and monitoring, adding “with this trend of adequate patrol and monitoring, the command will definitely accord necessary and required security to all road-users on the major highways in the state.
“As widely circulated, as most of them are rumours while many drivers plying the roads take many road or traffic obstructions for robbery attacks.”
He appealed to motorists plying the route to always reach the police on numbers 08037168147 (PRO), 08032136765 (Control Room), (08081771717) and 08053253156(O/C Quick Response Squad) whenever they noticed any unusual blockage or traffic obstruction on the Ogun State’s expressways.
