Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested 146 suspects during a coordinated raid under “Operation Keep Sagamu Safe,” aimed at curbing crime and strengthening security in Sagamu and its environs.
The operation, led by the Sagamu Area Command, was carried out in the early hours of April 13, 2026, following intelligence reports identifying key flashpoints where criminal activities were suspected to be on the rise.
Police said the exercise was part of proactive measures to prevent any breakdown of law and order, and was executed in collaboration with other security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the military, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Amotekun Corps, Ogun State Community Security (So-Safe) Corps, and the Vigilante Group of Nigeria.
The Command noted that the operation was preceded by strategic engagements with traditional rulers, the Sagamu Local Government Council, and heads of security agencies to strengthen collaboration and intelligence sharing.
According to the police, all suspects are currently undergoing screening to determine their level of involvement in criminal activities. Those found culpable will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Abeokuta for further investigation and prosecution.
The Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, commended the synergy and professionalism displayed by the participating agencies, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to intelligence-led policing.
He assured residents of continued efforts to maintain peace and security across Ogun State.
The police also urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities through its emergency lines.
