The Oyo State Police Command has stormed the hideout of a criminal syndicate allegedly specializing in the diversion and unlawful conversion of goods in transit in Oyo town, recovered goods valued at N32 million, and arrested two suspects.
The arrested suspects are identified as Olawale Kareem ‘M’ (40) and Ogunbiyi Monday ‘M’ (46).
A statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, Olayinka Ayanlade, in Ibadan, the state capital, on Thursday, said the operation resulted in the recovery of an IVECO truck/trailer with registration number MUS 809 XY (Lagos), loaded with 570 bags of guinea corn that had allegedly been diverted while being transported from Kaduna State.
Ayanlade added that preliminary investigation revealed that the suspects were members of a syndicate engaged in the diversion of goods for unlawful financial gain.
He explained that the achievement underscored the command’s commitment to intelligence-led policing and its resolve to dismantle criminal networks threatening economic security.
