Three Fulani herdsmen have been arrested for alleged robbery in Sabo, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Haruna Ibrahim, Usman Burani and Haruna Usman were arrested in Sabo after they allegedly robbed residents of Atoba Estate in Sabo.

The police alleged that the suspects were behind the attacks on commuters on Ayetoro Road in Yewa North and Igboora area.

It was gathered that the residents of the estate had placed the herdsmen under surveillance. When they were sighted around the neighbourhood, the residents alerted the police.

Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi said community leaders in Atoba Estate contacted the Divisional Police Officer, Gbenga Megbope, at the Ilupeju-Sabo Police Division, who led a team of anti-robbery operatives to arrest the suspects.

Adejobi said the herdsmen later led the police to their hideout in Igbo Olodumare forest on Igboora Road, where two others were apprehended.

Items recovered from them included cartridges, cutlasses, charms and dummy guns, among others.
