The statement added that he had given more useful information to the police operatives while a manhunt had been launched for the arrest of the fleeing members of the gang.
Part of the statement reads: “Rapid Response Squad (RRS) operatives in plain clothes, patrolling on a motorcycle, have arrested a robbery suspect, Akinjobi Wahab, aged 19 years while trying to snatch their motorcycle.”
