Men of Ogun State Police Command have arrested a one chance robbery gang in Atan-Ota area of Ado-Odo Ota Local Government area of the State.

She stated further that while she wanted to board vehicle again, she saw those who robbed her calling passengers into the same vehicle.
Based on her report, the patrol team quickly followed her to the motor park, where the three suspects were promptly arrested along with the vehicle. Search was conducted on them and a cutlass and a rope which they always use to tie their victims before dispossessing them of their properties were recovered.
