The Ogun State Police Command have launched a manhunt for the four-man gang who allegedly intercepted a businessman and carted away the sum of $11 million from him at gunpoint in the Oke-Sokori area of Abeokuta.
The armed robbers who were all adorned on black T-shirts, jean trousers, with their faces covered in masks reportedly fled the scene after offloading the $11 million in two ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ bags, from their victim’s car to their own.
While confirming the robbery incident, spokesperson for Ogun Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspects escaped before police operatives arrived at the scene.
He, however, added that a serious manhunt has been launched for the robbery suspects.
