Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Suspected armed robbers, on Saturday, engaged policemen in a gun battle at Ipamesan area of Sango Ota, Ogun State.<\/p>\n

A security guard attached to a warehouse owned by one Yinka Oduwale was shot dead while the robbers looted the facility.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST learnt that a distress call was received by the DPO of Sango Ota Divisional Police Headquarters, CSP Godwin Idehai, after the incident, prompting him to mobilise his team to the scene.<\/p>\n

The robbers, who also snatched two vehicles from different locations, fled on sighting the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn getting to Joju area, and realising the determination of the patrol team to subdue them, they decided to engage the policemen in a gun battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut due to the superior firepower of the policemen, they abandoned the two robbed vehicles, a Lexus RS 330 with registration number FKJ 691 FW snatched from one Dosumu Kazeem, and a Toyota Matrix with registration number MUS 835 FW snatched from one Ibrahim Lateef, and took to their heels,\u201d Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Public Relations Officer told DAILY POST on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Oyeyemi said the policemen went after the suspects, arresting one of them identified as Henry Obe.<\/p>\n

He revealed that one long gun, 41 laptops, two DVD players, two phones, three tablets and two vehicles were recovered from the suspects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
