Ogun: Police Arrest Three For Allegedly Snatching Car and Motorcycle

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested three people suspected to have stolen a car and motorcycle in the Mowe and Ifo areas of the State. The source made this known on Thursday, December 14, 2023. The source mentioned that a suspect identified as Matthew Segun hit the head of a motorcyclist with a hammer on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, before fleeing with his motorcycle. It was gathered that Segun had earlier stopped the motorcycle and begged to take him from the Old Bank Bus Stop to Igbese in Ifo. The motorcyclist told Segun to disembark when they reached Igbese, but he (Segun) insisted that he should take him further down the route. However, Segun hit him with a hammer on the crown of his head after which the motorcyclist lost consciousness and fell off the bike. Segun thereafter absconded with the motorcycle. Upon consciousness, the motorcyclist and owner of the motorcycle approached the Ifo Police Division to report the incident. Confirming the incident on Thursday, December 14, 2023, the Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said other commercial motorcycle riders in the area assisted the Police team in apprehending Segun. She said, “The suspect is a member of a syndicate responsible for snatching motorcycles from commercial motorcyclists in the area. The suspect will soon be transferred after the preliminary investigation is completed.” Meanwhile, two suspects believed to have stolen a car along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway have also been arrested. The suspects were said to have been acting questioningly along the road and immediately took flight on sighting the Police approaching the area. The Police reassured that they had begun a manhunt to arrest the fleeing suspects after arresting two of the suspects. Narrating the incident, Odutola said the suspects had boarded the Corolla car in Lagos and that they sprayed some chemical substances on the face of the driver, which made him lose consciousness. She explained further that the suspects dragged the driver out of the car and immediately bolted the scene. “We have arrested two of the suspects. Our men are on the trail of the other suspects who participated in the robbery. The suspects will be transferred to Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.” Odutola stated.
