An armed robbery gang terrorizing Amuloko and other neighboring areas in Ona-Ara local government were yesterday arrested by a men of the joint security task force.
OYOINSIGHT.COM understands that their arrest came many weeks after men of the Oyo State Security Taskforce codenamed Operation Burst, Vigilante Group of Nigeria, VGN, and others have been tracking them.
Apar from the 3-man gang, a woman, who is believed to be the one making charms for them, was also arrested with them in an uncompleted building around Olode area of Amoloko.
Though they have been handed over to the divisional police headquarters at Akanran, by the Operation Burst team headed by Lieutenant John, residents of the area said the woman threatened to deal with them for exposing her when she comes back.
“They were arrested in an uncompleted house. On many occasions, the security men tried in vain because they went with their vehicles and on sighting them, they will flee. This time, they changed tactics and came with private cars and in plain clothes.
“They usually wait for evening to operate. They wait for their would-be victims, stop them and dispossess them of their valuables. The security men had to swung into action before night falls. And to God be the glory, they were arrested. We pray they are made to face the law,” said one of the police source.
