The suspects, according to a statement were Umar Haruna, Abbah Yahaya, Muritala Umar, Wale Fadeyi, and Segun Olofinmade.
Oyeyemi, police command’s image-maker had said: “The suspects were arrested following an emergency call received by policemen at Sango divisional headquarters about 12:30 am, that a group of armed robbers numbering 11, and armed with cutlasses had forcefully gained entrance into Balita Company and were hard at work, packing away motor engines the company sells.
“On sighting the policemen, the hoodlums who came with a Mitsubishi Canter bus quickly took to their heels, but they were chased and five among them were arrested while others escaped.
