The Ogun State Police Command has arrested Mohammed Adams, a guard at Shoppy Supermarket in Magboro, and his accomplice, Mastaudu Mohammed, for burglary and theft of goods worth N14 million from the supermarket.
The CCTV footage from the supermarket reportedly showed Adams, the night guard on duty, opening the gate for his gang members to enter the premises and operate without hindrance.
