Ondo State Police Command has confirmed that four suspected members of a motorcycle theft ring will be arraigned in court following their arrest and the recovery of a stolen motorcycle.
The development is linked to an earlier police operation that led to the interception of two stolen motorcycles in the state.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Jimoh, said the suspects were tracked and arrested after fleeing Ondo State in an attempt to evade arrest.
According to him, the suspects were apprehended in Edo State through intelligence-driven operations carried out by the command.
Jimoh explained that the arrests followed up on a press briefing issued on December 22, 2025, in which the police announced the disruption of a motorcycle theft syndicate and the recovery of two motorcycles.
\u201cAs a result of sustained intelligence-led policing, four additional suspects have been arrested and one TVS motorcycle recovered,\u201d he said.
The suspects were identified as Onyeka, Ekene, Sunday and Abubakar, all males.
The police spokesperson disclosed that preliminary investigations showed that the suspects had active roles in the theft operation and had made useful confessional statements.
He added that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.
Jimoh reassured residents that the Ondo State Police Command remains committed to protecting lives and property across the state.
He quoted the Commissioner of Police as warning criminal elements to desist from illegal activities, stressing that the command would continue to pursue offenders wherever they operate.
The police chief also directed Divisional Police Officers and tactical commanders to remain vigilant and maintain a strong security presence in all parts of the state to prevent criminal activities.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
