By Adeniyi Onaara
Rapid Response Squad (RRS) officers arrested two ex-convicts for robbing a passer-by on Olowopopo Way near Otedola Bridge.
The suspects were arrested in the early hours of Saturday, February 04, 2023: Osazee Festus, 33, Matial Anthony, 23, both ex-convicts, and Osinachi Nwachukwu.
The trio, armed with a cutlass, approached their victim around 6:20 a.m. and took his Samsung A19 mobile phone.
The victim immediately alerted RRS officers nearby, who quickly arrested two of the suspects and recovered the phone. Following the arrests, investigations led to the arrest of the third suspect. Osazee was released from prison on February 02, 2023 after eight months behind bars while Anthony regained freedom in June 2022.
Meanwhile, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, Commander of the RRS, has transferred the three suspects to the Command Headquarters for further investigation.
