The spokesperson said Commissioner of Police, Ogundare Dare, had visited the scene of the armed robbery for an on-the-spot assessment.
According to Abutu, the commissioner of police who expressed displeasure over the incident, directed the Ikere Area Commander and all the Tactical Teams within the command to ensure the perpetrators were arrested and brought to book.
While commiserating with the family members of those affected, the commissioner called for calm and implored everyone to go about their lawful business as he noted that the command would not rest until the hoodlums were made to face the full wrath of the law.
