Oyeyemi said they were apprehended following a distress call received by policemen at Ode-Remo Division at about 2:30 am that seven armed robbers had invaded a residential building at COTCO Road, Ode-Remo.
The DPO of Ode-Remo Police Division, CSP Fasogbon Olayemi, reportedly responded to the distress call by leading his men to the crime scene.
“On getting there, they engaged the hoodlums in a gun battle, but the robbers managed to escape in a white Rav 4 car which they came with,” Oyeyemi stated.
