The State Commissioner of Police, CP Umoru Peter Ozigi, paraded the four
robbers alongside other suspects during his maiden press briefing in Benin City

The CP stated that the suspects were arrested following a complaint from
one Daramola Gabriel that armed robbers invaded his home and carted away
valuables.
“On Wednesday, 23rd October 2024, a report was received from one
Daramola Gabriel (male) stating that on the same date, at approximately 0400
hours, armed robbers invaded his home at the back of One World Hotel,
South-Ibie, and stole valuables worth millions of Naira,” the CP stated.
“On Saturday, 26th October 2024, at about 0900 hours, while at the park
trying to board a vehicle, he spotted a young man wearing his stolen diamond
earring and headphones.
"He informed the police, who promptly took action and arrested the
suspect, Osakpolor Edobor (male, 20 years old), who confessed to having
purchased the items from someone at Darisco Hotel, South-Ibie.”
"Further investigation led to the arrest of the following suspects:
Oshoike Malik, male, 23, Aliu Rabak, male, 27, and Alor Ojo, male, 24.
“One locally made cut-to-size gun and some of the stolen items were
