The Police Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, on Thursday, told newsmen in Abeokuta that upon the distress call, the DPO Ota, CSP Godwin Idehai, mobilised his men and moved to the scene.

“On sighting the policemen, the suspects, who had already snatched the victim’s Bajaj motorcycle, took flight, but were chased, and two among them were arrested, while the other one escaped,” he said.
