DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the state command spokesman who made this known to Punch Metro said the armed robbers who are three in number have been terrorising communities in the Agbado area of the state.
The force mouthpiece who gave the names of the suspects as Yusuf Olohuntoba, aka Ete; Abiola Yekini and Tope Oyeleye, aka Elede confirmed that they were arrested on Monday, November 30. He said other members of the gang identified as Sule; J.J, Absorber and Ramoni are still on the run.
It was gathered that the gang which is allegedly led by Elede and Ramoni, had operated in some houses around Owonikoko and Ayinla areas at about 2.am on the aforementioned day. It was further gathered that they stole phones and other household items including cash. Luck, however, ran out on them as they stopped on Ayinla street to share their loot, but a controversy ensued among them in the process of sharing.
A source disclosed that a resident who saw them sharing their loot put a distress call to the police, who quickly swung into action and mobilised to the area and arrested three of the gang members.
The command spokesman listed the items recovered from the bandits to include; two cut-to-size guns with a live cartridge, two spanners, a burglar proof cutter, one DVD player and 16 mobile phones.
In his confessional statement, 21-year-old Elede, who hails from Ekiti state, said he had been robbing for three years now, adding that he joined the gang after he lost six members of his former seven-man gang in police shootout. He said the police tracked them down after they had killed a banker whom they collected the sum of N7 million from early this year.
