Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested three robbery suspects operating at the Toyota bus-stop near Oshodi, Lagos.

A beretta pistol and four rounds of ammunition were recovered from the suspects.

According to a statement by the Spokesman of the Lagos Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the prompt arrest of the traffic robbers followed a tip-off from civic-minded Lagosians to the RRS officers who were on routine patrol along Ladipo and Oshodi.

He identified the suspects to be members of Aro–Baga cult ggroup

They include: Omuyibo Goddey (32), alias Aro Ghetto Boy; Destiny Nwanga (27), alias Aro Smiling God; and Ebuka Igwe (23), alias Aro Do or Die.

Goddey disclosed that they were about to rob their second victim when the RRS patrol team arrived on the scene.

A swift follow-up on the arrest led the RRS to their converging point at 7 Alhaji Monsuru Street, Ijegun, where two other suspects were arrested.

Investigations revealed that Nwanga repairs fuel pump at Ladipo Spare Part Market; Omuyibo works as a welder while Igwe deals in illicit drugs.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi has directed the Commander, RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi to transfer the three suspects and exhibits to the CP’s SpeciaSquad for further investigation and prosecution.
