OPERATIVES of the Nigeria Police Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, have arrested a notorious armed robber identified as Segun Hammed, popularly known in criminal circles as “OPA,” for allegedly molesting a 62-year-old woman during a brutal home invasion at Obada Oko in Ogun State.
The chilling incident occurred on February 27, 2025, in the presence of the victim’s two children, according to a statement released by the Zonal Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Ayuba Umma.
Hammed, who confessed to the crime, was arrested along with two other members of his gang — Damilare Babatunde (aka Drey) and Fatai Ishola — on May 8, 2025, at Sabo Hausa Market, Eleweran, Abeokuta, where they were allegedly planning another robbery operation.

According to the police statement, Hammed shockingly admitted that during the February operation, he originally intended to assault the victim’s daughter. However, after pleas from the mother, he turned his attention to the elderly woman and forcefully r@ped her while her terrified children watched.
“The victims identified him and narrated their ordeal in the hands of this gang,” CSP Umma said.
Armed to the Teeth, Poised for Violence
The suspects were arrested by operatives from the Zonal Dragon Squad 2, following intelligence reports about a violent syndicate of armed robbers and AIYE cultists who had been terrorizing residents and robbing motorcycle riders and hijacking cement trucks along Onigbedu axis of Ewekoro LGA.
Upon arrest, police recovered from the suspects:
One (1) locally made pistol
Three (3) live cartridges
Two (2) unregistered Bajaj motorcycles
One (1) Beretta pistol with 13 live rounds
Cash sum of N300,000 allegedly stolen during a previous robbery
One iPhone 7+, a small Tecno phone, and multiple ATM cards from Opay and UBA.
Police confirmed that one of the gang members, believed to be in possession of some of the stolen items, is still at large. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend him and recover the remaining exhibits.
Justice Awaited
CSP Umma assured the public that the suspects currently in custody are undergoing intense interrogation and will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded. Meanwhile, a manhunt has been launched for other fleeing members of the gang.
The heinous nature of the crime has sparked public outrage, with many demanding swift justice and maximum penalties for the suspects.
