Upon the distress call, Oyeyemi said, "The DPO quickly led his patrol team to the scene where they met the robbers attacking another person one Agba Enoch. The team engaged them in gun duel at the end of which two members of the gang were fatally injured, while others escaped with gunshot injuries".

Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, who commended the gallantry display of his men, has directed a massive manhunt for the fleeing members of the gang, with the view to bring them to justice. 

He equally appealed to members of the public, especially hospital, to quickly alert the police if anybody with gunshot injuries is seen in their area.
