Ogun: Woman, Teenager Carry Out Robbery With Toy Gun

The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended a woman, Chioma Okafor and one 19-year-old Nweke Joshua for reportedly robbing a woman with toy guns in the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Abimbola Oyeyemi stated this in a statement on Sunday.

According to him, the suspects were arrested while carrying out their dubious operation at Adesan, Mowe, in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.

When the security operatives received the distress call they mobilized their officers and went to the scene where the suspects were apprehended.

During preliminary investigation, the teenager told the police that Okafor came up with the plan.

The PPRO said “Upon receiving the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, Mowe Division, SP Folake Afeniforo, quickly mobilised the division’s patrol team and men of the So Safe Corps to the scene where the two suspects were arrested.

“On searching them, it was discovered that they came to rob the shop with toy guns which looked perfectly like original pistols. On interrogation, 19-year-old Nweke Joshua informed the police that it was Chioma Okafor who came with the idea of carrying out the robbery operation in order for them to have some money.”

Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, ordered that the suspects be held in the State Criminal Investigation Departments for discreet investigation.
