He identified the suspects as Victor Chibuike, 26, aka Azaman; Kingsley Ndubuisi, 33, aka kango; Augustine James, 29, aka Edo boy; and Lateef Babatunde, 33.

“The arrest followed the launching of a swift investigation immediately a report was received on August 7, 2022, that a 2010 Lexus RX 350 SUV, 2006 Toyota Camry saloon car, an iPhone and other valuables were robbed at gunpoint,” the police statement said. “Three locally made pistols, one locally made semi-automatic pistol and 12 live cartridges were recovered from the gang.”

According to the police command, the suspects were notorious for robbing their victims of their valuables and vehicles.

Mr Hundeyin said that the suspects would be arraigned at the end of the investigation.
