\nThe Police Command in Osun has arrested three suspected thugs allegedly terrorising students of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN) in Oke-Bale, Osogbo and its environs.<\/p>\n
This is contained in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, on Thursday in Osogbo.<\/p>\n
Ojelabi said the arrest followed complaints by students of the university about the alleged incessant activities of some thugs along their daily transit routes.<\/p>\n
He said, following the complaints, police operatives embarked on patrols and raided a suspected criminal hideout in the area, leading to the arrest of the three suspects.<\/p>\n
The suspects were identified as Abass Quadri, 26; Olanrewaju Joshua, 24; and Yusuf Taiwo, 25.<\/p>\n
He said the suspects allegedly stopped students on several occasions, threatened them and collected their mobile phones and money.<\/p>\n
Ojelabi said the suspects were also alleged to have forcefully stopped students on their way, threatened them, collected their phones and compelled them to make fund transfers.<\/p>\n
The police spokesperson said the suspects had been charged to court, while efforts were ongoing to apprehend other members of the group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge members of the public to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities or threats to the nearest police station,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ojelabi assured residents of the command\u2019s commitment to protecting lives and property in the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
