…Declares war against rape
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kenneth Ebrimson, yesterday, announced a two-week window to the possessors of illegal arms and ammunition in the state, to surrender such weapons to the police command or face the wrath of the law.
Ebrimson equally said the Command had declared war against rape, noting that any suspected rapist arrested would not be treated with kids’ gloves, but prosecuted accordingly.
Ebirison read the riot acts while parading 35 suspected criminals at the Ogun State police command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The suspects, according to the CP, were arrested in different locations across the state for crimes ranging from armed robbery, cultism, rape, and murder.
