The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man, Oluwatobiloba Kehinde, for allegedly threatening a resident with a locally made pistol in the Agbena area of Abeokuta.
Police spokesperson SP Omolola Odutola disclosed in a statement on Sunday that the arrest followed a distress call from the victim on Saturday.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday around 6 p.m. while the victim was returning from a football field.
According to the police, Kehinde confronted the victim and demanded money, threatening to harm him if he refused.
The situation escalated when two accomplices arrived on a motorcycle and joined in assaulting the victim, who eventually escaped.
However, Kehinde allegedly traced the victim to his family home, where he continued the threats while armed with a locally made pistol.
Police operatives responded swiftly to the report, arrested the suspect, and recovered the weapon.
