ABEOKUTA \u2013 Men of Ogun State Police Command yesterday foiled an early morning robbery attempt\u00a0 on Wema Bank along Idi-Iroko road in Ota, Ado-Odo Local Government Area of Ogun State\u00a0 allegedly leaving many of the robbers injured.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 robbers, according to the eye witnesses were\u00a0 10 in number. They were said to have opened fire on the\u00a0 policemen attached to the area, but later\u00a0 fled after they were overpowered.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that, about three weeks ago, some hoodlums\u00a0 broke into a\u00a0 bank in Ifo, some 30 kilometres away from Ota early morning\u00a0 and carted away large sums of money without any hindrance.<\/p>\n

But, yesterday\u2019s\u00a0 robbery attack was averted,\u00a0 as both\u00a0 the\u00a0 policemen attached to the area\u00a0 and the robbers engaged each other\u00a0 in a\u00a0 fierce gun duel for about 20 minutes, before the robbers reportedly fled.<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident, the\u00a0 state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, disclosed that, the robbers\u00a0 arrived the place as early as 4:28am and attempted to rob the bank before they were resisted by stern-looking policemen.<\/p>\n

Muyiwa who spoke with Vanguard on phone on the incident revealed that the robbers were badly injured by\u00a0 his men and had to flee the scene, leaving one of their operation vehicles behind.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0 later sent a statement, warning all medical practitioners\u00a0 in the state to inform the police before treating anybody with gun wound.<\/p>\n

According to him \u201dOgun State police command wishes to alert the\u00a0 general public that our men at Ota engaged some hoodlums who attempted robbing the Wema\u00a0 bank in the early hours of today in fierce gun battle which forced the robbers to flee and abandoned their vehicle riddled with bullets and blood stain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amosun tasks monarchs on Security
Meantime, Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has urged royal fathers to cooperate with security agencies in order to combat the menace of armed robbery in the state.
The governor, who noted that meaningful development would be difficult without security, appealed to traditional rulers to give useful information that could unmask criminals in the state to security agents.<\/p>\n

He spoke yesterday at the inauguration of the reconstituted State Council of Obas, where the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Aremu Gbadebo, took over the leadership of the council from the Akarigbo of Remoland, HRM Adeniyi Sonarowo.<\/p>\n

Amosun said the activities of armed robbers across the state could not be ignored, as a result of which decisive steps had been taken to checkmate them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
