ODUDUWA NEWS has gathered that men of the Oyo State Joint- Security Task Force codenamed Operation Burst have raided criminal hideouts at Sabo area in Ibadan and recovered some stolen Apple phones from a suspect on the spot.
The security outfit said the recovery was made during its raids on black spots and hideouts for criminals in Ibadan.
Confirming the development, the Director General of Oyo State Joint Security Task Force, Operation Burst, Colonel James Oladipo (rtd), said twenty-three Apple-phones were recovered from the suspect.
Oladipo noted that the development was part of the outfit’s efforts to protect lives and property in the state, especially during the ‘Ember months’.
“We have been on the trail of criminals who have been terrorising citizens and residents at strategic locations, especially in Sabo area of the state,” he said.
Oladipo therefore called on victims who were recently robbed of their Apple-phones, otherwise known as I-Phones within Ibadan, to come forward with proof of ownership to reclaim them.
The director general, while assuring the public of the task force’s immediate response to distress calls, urged them to give useful information that will aid security agencies in performing its duties.
