The suspects were arrested following a distress call received by the policemen at Agbara divisional headquarters that armed hoodlums had invaded Jegede village and were shooting sporadically. 
Upon the distress call, the DPO Agbara division, SP Saleh Dahiru, led his men to the scene where six men, namely Sunday Okorie, Shoneye Akeem, Lakan Oloyede, Jimoh Musibau Akande Oyedeji and Hamzat Idiris, who have been shot by the hoodlums were rescued to the hospital for treatment, while three amongst the hoodlums were apprehended and others escaped. 

Recovered from them includes, six live cartridges and 14 expended cartridges. 
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspects be transferred to state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation. 
He also directed that the fleeing members of the gang be hunted for and brought to justice. 

The CP therefore warned land grabbers to steer clear of the state, as their violent activities will not be tolerated by the command under his watch.
