The Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Squad of the Ogun State Police Command has successfully recovered a stolen unregistered Lexus ES350 sedan in Ondo State. The recovery is the result of months of intelligence-led efforts following the vehicle’s theft by armed robbers.
According to police reports, the incident occurred on September 15, 2026, at approximately 2 a.m. in the Ogijo area of Ogun State. Armed suspects reportedly stole the red Lexus ES350 at gunpoint.
In a statement released on Friday, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Ogun State Command, confirmed the recovery and detailed the immediate steps taken by law enforcement. He noted that upon receiving the report, SP Obeh Eneye, the Officer-in-Charge of SWAT, initiated an investigation.
Babaseyi stated, “Sustained investigative efforts subsequently led to the discovery of the vehicle in Ondo State. SWAT operatives facilitated its recovery and conveyed it to the Ogun State Police Command.” Ongoing investigations aim to apprehend additional suspects connected to the theft and to recover other stolen property.
Commissioner of Police for Ogun State, CP Bode Ojajuni, praised the SWAT operatives for their diligence and professionalism throughout the investigation. He emphasized the Command’s commitment to intelligence-led operations, the recovery of stolen property, and the prosecution of offenders.
