Dare Devil Female Robber Arrested With Gang

But for sheer luck, a man cruising in his Mercedes Benz ML SUV (names withheld) would have been killed when he was reportedly attacked by armed robbers, who snatched his car at gun point.
The news of the robbery incident was immediately reported at the Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran in Abeokuta, the state capital, after which the men of the state’s Anti Robbery Squad sprang into action.
So, on Friday, April 25, 2014, men of the Ogun SARS reportedly engaged the gang of robbers that carried out the attack in a gun battle around Dalemo, a suburb of Sango-Otta, Ogun State.
A source said, one of the suspected robbers, identified as Ahmed Yusuff, was arrested while his partners-in-crime took to their heels. The arrested Yusuff has reportedly pleaded with the police to spare his life and expressed willingness to cooperate in the investigation towards arresting his fleeing partners-in-crime.
It was learnt that after assurances, Yusuff revealed that the gang was based in Epe, Lagos State and has agreed to lead the police to their Epe hideout. According to sources, on Monday, June 9, 2014, a detachment of crack crime busters reportedly headed for Epe.
It was learnt that the siege on the robber’s hideout was carried out in a commando-like fashion that the criminals were fast asleep by the time the detectives arrived on that fateful day. It was reported that while on their way to Epe, Yusuff was made to communicate with his gang apparently selling a dummy to them which in the end made the plan easy to hatch.
It was gathered that upon arrival at the hideout of the criminals, some of the anti-robbery policemen took positions around the building while Yusuff still continued to communicate with them.
According to our source, when the officers saw that the coast was clear they swooped on the criminals and a gun battle ensued, resulting in the death of two members of the notorious gang and arrest of three who sustained fatal injuries. According to Police Public Relations Officer for Ogun State, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, the names of the three arrested suspected armed robbers were given as Adeyinka Olajuwon, Isiaka Salawu and a female suspect, Jumoke Odukoya. The image maker also said that some other members of the gang escaped with bullet wounds.
The female suspect, Jumoke, was quoted to have said that she was lured into the group by her boyfriend whose name she failed to mention. “I did not know that my boyfriend was an armed robber. I never knew that those he introduced to me as friends were robbers,” she was quoted as saying.
It was learnt that several weapons and charms were recovered from the suspects. According to Adejobi, items recovered from them include: an assault 06 rifle with No 07003808, two magazines loaded with 18 rounds of ammunition, three cut-to-size single barrel pistols, two cut-to-size double barrel guns; 10 live cartridges and an axe, just as charms were also recovered from them.
Speaking after the arrest, Ogun State Police Commissioner, Ikemefuna Okoye, commended the dexterity of officers and men of the force, describing them as gallant officers. He urged the general public to continue to help the police in the search for the wounded fleeing robbers.
