Ogun Police Recover AK-47, Ammunition, Mercedes-Benz GLK in Fresh Ota Operation
ABEOKUTA — The Ogun State Police Command has recorded another breakthrough in its ongoing security operations in Ota, recovering an AK-47 rifle, two rounds of 7.62mm ammunition and a Mercedes-Benz GLK SUV.
The latest recovery, according to the Command, followed a search of an unregistered Mercedes-Benz GLK, during which operatives discovered the rifle and ammunition concealed in the vehicle.
The vehicle and recovered exhibits have been secured, while investigations are ongoing to establish their ownership and determine the circumstances surrounding their possession.
The development comes on the heels of an earlier police operation at Ijaba, Iyesi, Ota, where operatives responded to a robbery incident, neutralised a suspected armed robber and recovered two vehicles, suspected stolen property, as well as a locally made pistol and ammunition.

Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni, commended the operatives for their vigilance and professionalism, reaffirming the Command’s commitment to proactive policing and the protection of lives and property.
He also reassured residents of the Command’s continued vigilance, urging members of the public to sustain their cooperation with the Police by providing timely and useful information that could assist ongoing security operations.
The Command reiterated its resolve to strengthen security across Ogun State and ensure that criminal elements are prevented from threatening the peace and safety of residents
