By Lod Onyeji

In a major breakthrough, the Osun State Police Command has apprehended three suspects in connection with a gruesome armed robbery and murder case that left two victims dead.

Olabode Owoeye (aka Bode Itaapa), 32, Mukaila Lateef, 45, and David Samuel, 26, were paraded at the police headquarters on Friday, accused of abducting and killing Kelechi Agha and Tega Robinson, who went missing on February 8, 2024.

According to Command Spokesperson Yemisi Opalola, the suspects confessed to being members of the notorious Aye confraternity, responsible for the attack on political candidate Honourable Ayodeji Olaolu during the 2023 election.

Investigations revealed that the group, armed with dangerous weapons, was involved in multiple killings and illegal arms deals. The police recovered several exhibits, including locally made guns and a black unregistered Highlander Jeep.

The suspects will face charges upon completion of the investigation, and the police are still searching for fleeing members of the group.

This crackdown marks a significant victory for the Osun State Police Command in their efforts to combat criminal activity in the state.
