Men of the Nigeria Police in Ogun State have arrested a gang of hoodlums, including a young lady, suspected to have killed a businessman, Mr. Akinola Agbede in Akute, a border town between Lagos and Ogun State on Thursday, June 8, 2023.

We gathered from multiple sources that the gang leader and the suspected killer of the deceased, identified as 25-year-old Olabode Aremu laid ambush on Agbede who was a Landlord in the area in the wee hours of the night, burgled his house, and matchet him to death.

Before the unfortunate incident, it was gathered that a policeman in the area arrested Aremu for an offense, he was paraded in the community before he was taken to the police station. After he was released two days later, he and his gang visited the deceased claiming he made jest of him while he was been paraded in the community.

The suspects who used an uncompleted building directly opposite the deceased house in Akute, as their hideout were in the habit of armed robberies, phone snatching, pickpocketing, mugging pedestrians, breaking into homes, crashing uninvited parties, demanding protection money, and burgling shops all within the Akute and its suburbs.

These gangsters move through neighborhoods breaking into shops, vandalizing vehicles, and leaving death and destruction in their wake.

Unfortunately, the deceased and his immediate family were billed to leave the country next week to seek greener pastures before the terror struck him in the middle of the night.

The family of the deceased has pleaded to the governor of the State, Prince Dapo Abiodun to intervene and rapidly bring these hoodlums to book to serve as a deterrent to others.

However, the residents have also called on the authorities to enforce the ban on the illegal occupation of abandoned buildings and properties under construction across the state.
