This is contained in a press release issued from the office of the State Commander of So-Safe Corps Commander (Dr.) Soji Ganzallo, through the office of the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Corps, Assistant Commander Moruf Yusuf.
According to the statement, Ganzallo said that on Friday, 19th May, 2023, residents of Ilukosi Olorunda town, Iro in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area put a call through to the Corps Area Command, requesting for its prompt intervention to arrest a suspect, who might be planning to carry out a criminal act.
Consequently, Ganzallo noted, the officers and men of the Corps in the Owode Egba Zonal Command under ACC Jimoh Rasaki Omoniyi, were charged to go after one Mr. Segun Oke, alias Bouncing, who had been threatening the peace of the community and its environs.
Ganzallo further revealed that the suspect on sighting the So-Safe team, took to his heels and ran into the bush to hide the double-barrelled locally made pistol, including live and used ammunition in his possession.
However, the suspect was captured and the arms and ammunition were recovered from where it was hidden.
The suspect and the exhibits – one double-barrelled locally made pistol, one used and two live cartridges found with the suspect have been handed over to the Nigeria Police, Iro Police Post, for onward transfer to Owode-Egba Divisional Headquarter for further investigation and likely prosecution.
