“You will recall that bullion van robberies were rampant, and the police made the move and identified the group responsible for the robberies and dealt with the group and we had some respite from it. We are investigating this one too, and I am assuring you that, we will get all of the people involved in the robbery because now the public has greater confidence in the police, and they are collaborating by giving us information to get to the bottom of these things,” citinewsroom.com quoted him as having said.

The bullion van robbery incident, which that took place on July 3, 2023, has led to the arrest of 3 suspects who are in police custody.

CCTV footage showed one of the armed robbers standing at the passenger side of the vehicle and shooting at the police officer.

Among the three suspects, two of them (Benjamin Ojogbe and Rashid Abdul) have been identified as part of the armed robbers who assaulted the bullion van at the Ablekuma Fanmilk Star Oil Filling Station, which led to the death of a police officer who was with the vehicle for security reasons.
