A staff of Abestone Microfinance Bank Abeokuta, Olagoke Dare has been arrested by men of Ogun state police command for planning with another person to rob him of cash sum of 3million naira property of his employer.
The
suspect was arrested following a distress call received by the police at Ibara
divisional headquarters, that armed robbers have attacked the duo of Olagoke
Dare and Mary Agbejo while coming out from a commercial bank at Oke-ilewo area,
where they had gone to withdraw money.
Upon
the distress call, the DPO Ibara division, SP Segun Ajao quickly mobilized his
men and moved to the scene where one Idowu Tunde was arrested with the
assistance of members of public.
The arrested suspect, who was armed with a
mock gun, informed the police during interrogation that it was Olagoke Dare who
informed him that his employer will be sending him and one other person to
withdraw the sum of 3million naira, and that they should come and rob them of
the money.
He
stated further that it was the same Dare Olagoke who gave him the toy pistol
for the operation. He confessed further that while the Dare and his other
colleague were in the Bank, he has already hid in their car which was
deliberately left opened by Dare in accordance with their plan.
While
they got into the car, Idowu Tunde explained that he came out suddenly from the
back seat and pointed the gun to the lady who was in possession of the money . But the lady
noticed that the gun did not look Original consequent upon which she dragged
the gun with him and raised alarm. It was the alarm that attracted people who
pursued them and called the police.
Meanwhile,
the acting commissioner of police, DCP Abiodun Alamutu, has ordered the
immediate transfer of the two suspects to state criminal investigation and
intelligence department for discreet investigation. He therefore advised that
companies should endeavor to always have background checks on their staff
before employing them.
