The enemies in the families of two robbers who attacked members of the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministry finally caught up with them on Thursday as the fleeing pair was knocked down by a truck.
The bandits were escaping after robbing the prayer warriors and some motorists along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Having successfully robbed their victims, the men and a third member of the gang took to their heels on sighting police operatives attached to Ibafo Division who were on patrol on the expressway
A witness said the truck hit two of the men, who sustained major injuries, while the third gang member narrowly escaped the crash.
Police later arrested the injured thieves and recovered some of the stolen items.
When contacted, the Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the incident said the robbery victims have identified the thieves.
The recovered items have also been returned to the owners.
Adejobi identified the robbers as Sola Bilaminu and Ibrahim Sandi.
“The Commissioner of Police Ogun State, Abdulmajid Ali, has commended the police operatives for their commitment and dedication to duty, and directed that the suspects be transferred to the Special Anti Robbery Squad in Magbon Abeokuta for thorough investigation,” Adejobi said.
He did not say anything about the MFM members calling down fire on their attackers.
