As confirmed by Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, a deputy superintendent of police, the complainant came out and discovered that his Salah ram which he bought at the rate of N120,000 had been stolen.
He stated further that when he searched around, he sighted three men forcing his ram into a waiting Mazda car booth, a development which made him to raise alarm.

The ram was recovered, and the two suspects were taken to custody. Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered an indepth investigation of the case, with the view of charging the suspects to court as soon as possible.
