Akeem Adeleke, the suspected truck hijacker.
The long arm of the law has caught up with one Akeem Adeleke for hijacking a truck loaded with industrial raw material along Lagos-Ibadan expressway on gun point.
The suspect was arrested following a distress call made to the Federal Highway patrol stationed along the expressway by driver of the truck, who informed them that while driving his truck towards Ibadan, two unknown gunmen suddenly jumped into the vehicle and pushed him out.
He explained further that the hoodlums took over the vehicle from him and drove it towards Lagos.
Upon the complain, the patrol team started tracing the truck towards Lagos and they luckily sighted it somewhere along the road.
Having noticed that policemen are trailing them, one of the robbers who was driving the truck jumped out on motion, but fell down and hit his head against the tarred road and he died on the spot.
His accomplice, Akeem Adeleke was subsequently arrested and taken to Ewu-oliwo divisional headquarters.
According to SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Public Relations Officer
Ogun State Police Command, the DPO Ewu-oliwo division, CSP Toyosi Bello accompanied the patrol team to the scene where the corpse of the dead robber was recovered to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital morgue.
Recovered from the arrested suspect are; one locally made pistol, three live cartridges, two itel phones and some Criminal charms.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Frank Mba, has directed that the suspect be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Departments for discreet investigation.
