Armed robbers take advantage of lockdown in Ogun State, attack Alagbole, Akute

Armed robbers have taken advantage of the lockdown order in Ogun State to operate in Alagbole and Akute areas of the state.

Social media reports state that some youths numbering about 50 have stormed the streets in the neighbourhood and are looting shops and harassing residents.

Sounds of gunshots were also heard as the armed robbers who also operated in the area yesterday continued with their dastardly act today.
