The statement noted that the state Commissioner of Police, Ogundare Dare, had visited the scene of the armed robbery for an on-the-spot assessment.


The commissioner, who expressed displeasure over the incident, directed the Ikere Area Commander and all the Tactical Teams within the command to ensure the perpetrators were arrested and brought to book.


The police commissioner, who also commiserated with the family members of those affected, called for calm and implored everyone to go about their lawful business and assured that the command would not rest until the hoodlums were made to face the full wrath of the law.


He noted that the command’s tactical squads as well as the military personnel deployed in the scene on Wednesday, immediately information was received, engaged the hoodlums who abandoned the three vehicles and two motorcycles they used for the operation and ran into the bush. The vehicles and motorcycles were recovered and taken to the station.


The commissioner enjoined anyone with useful information concerning the identities and/or whereabouts of the armed hoodlums to contact the police.
