Operatives of the Sagamu Area Command under the Ogun State Police Command, working alongside community leaders and other security agencies, have apprehended 146 individuals during a coordinated raid operation codenamed “Operation Keep Sagamu Safe.”

The exercise, aimed at curbing crime and tackling emerging security concerns, was carried out in key hotspots across Sagamu and surrounding areas.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police Oluseyi Babaseyi, revealed that the operation followed a series of consultations with traditional rulers, officials of the Sagamu Local Government Council, and heads of various security outfits to strengthen joint security strategies.

He noted that the intelligence-driven raid, conducted in the early hours of April 13, 2026, focused on locations identified as potential threats to public peace and safety.

According to him, the initiative was put in place to prevent any possible breakdown of law and order while enhancing overall security in the area. The operation involved a joint effort by the Nigeria Police Force, the military, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the Amotekun Corps, the Ogun State Community Security (So-Safe) Corps, and the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN), showcasing a strong collaborative security approach.

Babaseyi added that the arrested suspects are currently being profiled to ascertain their involvement in criminal activities. Those found guilty will be handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Abeokuta for further investigation and possible prosecution.
