Policemen attached to the Ilemba Hausa Police have arrested a suspected armed robber who went to rob at a Catholic church’s retreat in Ojo, Lagos last Saturday.
According to the Nation, Wasiu Kamarudeen, 19, a resident of 8, Olaniyi Street, Iyalode in Ilogbo, Ogun State, was said to have gone to the Jakande open field venue of a three-day retreat organised by St. Patrick Catholic Renewal Church, Ojo around 6:20am with three others.
It was gathered that members had contacted the police after sighting a motorcycle with registration number Ogun AKM749WP, carrying three suspicious passengers into the retreat ground.
Although the passengers mingled with the crowd, policemen deployed were able to apprehend Kamarudeen who allegedly had a locally-made short gun with a live cartridge in his possession.
Police spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), said the policemen recovered the operational motorcycle, adding that the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) has been tasked to fish out other members of the gang.
