During interrogation, it was discovered that the suspects were responsible for the death of the owner of a Toyota salon car with number plate AKD 701 CE belonging to Mr. Toyin Obadina, the Newswatch Assistant Editor who was killed on Friday February 1, 2014.
Festus who is 21 years old said, ''On that night, I drove one of the two SUVs. When the man was approaching, we blocked his vehicle at a bad portion of the Ikorodu road. After he was forced to stop, our ring leaders in the other vehicle, Oke and Benjamin, went to meet him.
“I and the others stayed back. As this went on, we noticed that an argument ensued between them, and Oke shot him. The editor probably felt only the two robbers were at the spot, and he was trying to defend himself. “I joined the gang for operations around January. We have gone on about three operations. We operated on Itamaga Road, Ikorodu Road and Ishaga. Our robbery was only on the highway. I was working as a commercial driver before I joined the gang. It was Oke who brought the two guns that we were using. We usually started from around 8pm till midnight. We were six in the gang.”
The state commissioner of police Mr. Cornelius Aderanti said two locally made single barrelled guns, twelve rounds of live cartridges, one Nissan Xtera and one Toyota Yaris cars were recovered from them.
