The Ogun State Police Command said on Friday that it has within the first three months of the year arrested 2,141 suspects for various criminal offences ranging from armed robbery to rape and cultism, among others.

The command said that within this same period, it has prosecuted 1530 suspects, secured 62 convictions, and recovered properties, including stolen vehicles, with a value of N106,786,000.

Arms and ammunition recovered within this period under review were put at 217.

The spokeswoman for the command, CSP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement sent to journalists on Friday.

The Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, said that feedback from the regular engagement with the communities in the state proved so vital to giving bite to the renewed onslaught against crime fighting in the state.

Odutola said, “Record shows that while the command contended with a spike in overall criminal activities in February, there was a noticeable decline in the number of cases investigated and prosecuted in March.

“Conviction of suspects across the three months is relatively stable, with a downward trend in the number of suspects arrested for rape, but an increasing number of suspects were arrested for cult-related activities due to pro-active measures emplaced by the anti-cultism unit.
