The Ogun State Police Command has recovered a Mercedes-Benz GLK, an AK-47 rifle and two rounds of 7.62mm ammunition in Ota area of the state.
Command spokesman, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi disclosed this in a Monday statement.
The police said the recoveries were part of ongoing policing efforts in Ota which have further strengthened investigations.
“A search of the unregistered Mercedes-Benz GLK led to the discovery of the AK-47 rifle and two rounds of 7.62mm ammunition.
“The vehicle and recovered exhibits have been secured, while investigation continues,” the statement reads in part.
Babaseyi said the development adds to the outcome of the earlier operation in Ijaba, Iyesi, Ota, where police operatives responded to a robbery incident, neutralised one suspected armed robber and recovered two vehicles, suspected stolen property and a locally made pistol with ammunition.
The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni, commended the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism, reaffirming the command’s commitment to proactive policing and the protection of lives and property.
