SWAT OPERATIVES ARREST FOUR-MAN K1DNAPPING, R0BBERY, AND RITUAL GANG IN OGBESE AFTER AN INTELLIGENCE-LED OPERATION.
The Ondo State Police Command has achieved a major operational milestone with the arrest of Ifeoluwa Julius (M) and three members of his gang, all residents of Ogbese town, who have been implicated in a series of k1dnapping, @rmed r0bbery, and ritua@-related offences. This group had long remained on the Command’s watch list due to mounting intelligence linking them to violent cr1minal activities within the area.
Further intelligence revealed that the suspects had recently returned from a location where they procured cr1minal ch@rms intended to fortify themselves for future cr1minal undertakings. Acting promptly on this credible intelligence, operatives of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit launched a coordinated, intelligence-driven operation on the outskirts of Ogbese town. This precise and strategic approach led to the successful arrest of the four suspects, demonstrating the Command’s resolve to dismantle emerging cr1minal thre@ts proactively.
In the course of the operation, several incriminating items were recovered from Ifeoluwa Julius, including:
– One expended cartridge
– Fetish items
– Red and white cloth stained with blood
These recoveries aligned with the suspects’ subsequent confessions. During interrogation, Ifeoluwa Julius openly admitted to being a ritualist and confirmed, along with his gang members, their involvement in multiple k1dnapping incidents within the Ogbese axis. He further disclosed that their recent trip was deliberately undertaken to acquire additional criminal fortifications to enhance their capacity for further nefarious activities.
