The Ogun State Police Command has continued in its proactive policing style as operatives of the Sagamu Division dismantled a suspected cattle theft syndicate with the arrest of two suspects, the recovery of six stolen cows, and the seizure of the syndicate’s operational vehicle. In a separate operation, operatives of the Command’s Safer Highway Patrol Team thwarted an abduction attempt along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, rescuing the victim unhurt. These successes underscore the Command’s sustained commitment to intelligence-led policing, rapid response, and proactive crime prevention across Ogun State
Operatives of the Sagamu Division arrested Abiodun Kamilu, ‘m’ aged 35, and Adesanya Segun, ‘m’ aged 37, recovered six stolen cows, and seized a blue Nissan Cabster bus believed to have served as the syndicate’s operational vehicle.
The breakthrough followed a distress call received in the early hours of 25th July, 2026, reporting that suspected cattle thieves had invaded a cow yard in the Maskoli Area of Sagamu and stolen seven cows. Upon receipt of the report, operatives immediately mobilised and commenced coordinated patrols around identified exit routes.
Acting on credible information, the operatives intercepted suspicious vehicles along the Sagamu–Ijebu-Ode Expressway. Their swift intervention frustrated the criminal operation, leading to the arrest of the two suspects and the recovery of six of the seven stolen cows, as well as the operational vehicle abandoned during the failed escape.
Investigation is ongoing to apprehend other members of the syndicate, recover the remaining stolen cow, and ensure the prosecution of all those connected with the crime.
