The police in Ogun on Saturday foiled a robbery attack on an Automated Teller Machine in front of the Crescent University, Abeokuta. A 20-year-old welder, Abdullahi Tunde, was arrested and the police recovered two gas cylinders, two sledge hammers, two giant chisels, fire lighters, screw drivers, a torch light and a pack of bottle water. Our correspondent gathered that a gang of five armed robbers had at about 1:30am on Saturday stormed the private university where they tied up the five security guardson duty. The suspected robbers were said to have vandalised the ATM, belonging to one of the new generation banks loaded with large sums of money on Friday. They were, however, said to have been forced to flee by policemen who arrived the scene of the crime following a tip-off. Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said that the robbers could not cart away the money from the ATM. Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, stated that the suspected robbers fled the scene after a police armoured personnel carrier from Randa area of Abeokuta rushed to the university. The PPRO said the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, had already ordered investigation into the incident. He added all efforts would be made to apprehend the fleeing suspects, warning members of the public to be more careful in handling cash, especially during the festive period. Adejobi said, “The police raced down to the school on time. On getting there, they met five guards whose legs and hands had been tied. The robbers had vandalised the security door and tampered with some equipment in order to have access to the ATM strong room. But they could not have access; the money is intact. They scaled the fence to the other side and abandoned their equipment.”
