A female final year student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,
Ogbomoso, Oyo State, was paraded alongside eleven other suspects
arrested by the police in the state for various offences ranging from
murder to armed robbery, fraud and rape.
In the same vein, a
38-year-old bricklayer, Daniel Segun who, together with his gang
members, invaded students’ hostel at LAUTECH and dispossessed them of
their valuables, has been arrested.
The gangsters, three of whom
are at large, stormed the hostel at about 9:00pm on October 13 and had
already robbed the students before a distress call was received by men
of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squard (FSARS) Unit in Ogbomoso.
The detectives, it was gathered, swiftly raced to the scene and still met the men of the underworld in operation.
The
aftermath of the police presence at the scene was a daring challenge by
the hoodlums, who engaged operatives in a fierce gun duel, but could
not withstand the opponents’ superior fire power and had to take to
their heels.
While three of the gang members managed to escape
arrests, Daniel Segun was not as lucky as others; he was apprehended at
the scene with two locally fabricated double barrel guns, one single
barrel gun, seven cartridges and their loots comprising ten mobile
handsets, seven laptops and two wrist watches.
