Three police men have been confirmed dead in an early hour raid on
a community in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, while two others were
critically injured.
The incident was said to have
occurred when the five officers were on the way to address a distress
call that a 15 member armed bandit had stormed the Ijemo-Agbadu area of
the city.
Confirming the incident to Channels Television, the
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Muyiwa Adejobi stated three
police officers were murdered and that two others were injured while an
undisclosed amount of money and other personal effects were carted away
from the church.
The 15 member armed gang reportedly stormed the community and a church, The Apostolic Church, being their target.
The
Police PRO for the state while on the spot assessment of the area
disclosed that a member of the gang who confessed to be part of the
operation has been arrested and is helping the police in their
investigations
While seeking useful information from the general
public, Mr Adejobi assured residents of adequate security of life and
property at all times, stating that the unfortunate incident will not
deter the command from performing its constitutional responsibilities.
