Three suspected members of a notorious interstate armed robbery syndicate allegedly linked to a string of violent robberies in Ondo and Lagos states have been arrested by the Ondo State Police Command.
The Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Felix Ohagwu, disclosed this while parading the suspects, saying the arrests were made in connection with an armed robbery incident reported on June 14, 2026, at Ita-Ogbolu in Akure North Local Government Area.
Mr. Ohagwu identified the suspects as Promise Daniel, 34; Ifeanyi Umahi, 29; and Adaramoye Abayomi, 37.
He said the suspects were arrested on Saturday, July 18, following a painstaking intelligence-led operation by operatives of the command.
According to him, acting on credible intelligence and sustained surveillance, police operatives intercepted the suspects while they were travelling in an ash-coloured Mercedes-Benz ML 350 SUV.
A search of the vehicle led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, one magazine loaded with 18 rounds of live ammunition, an English-made Beretta pistol loaded with four rounds of live ammunition, a UTC axe, and an iron cutter.
The police commissioner said preliminary investigations indicated that the suspects belonged to a notorious armed robbery syndicate already on the command’s watchlist for alleged involvement in violent robberies across Ondo State.
He added that the suspects made useful confessional statements during interrogation regarding the ownership of the recovered weapons and their alleged involvement in other criminal activities.
“The information provided is currently assisting investigators in tracking down other fleeing members of the gang and uncovering the full extent of their operations,” Ohagwu said.
