According to him, “The two suspects were arrested at the popular Mayor bus stop when the DPO Ogijo division CSP Sultan Baba Muhammed was on routine patrol of the area with his men and accosted the duo in a bus with registration number LSD 381 XN loaded with two big rams.
“On interrogation, the two suspects were unable to give a satisfactory account of how they come about the rams hence they were arrested and taken to the station. On further questioning, they confessed that the rams were actually stolen.
