Two suspects; a 19-year-old, Hammed Abiodun and 35-year-old, Godwin John were said to have been robbing motorists around Osu area along the Ilesha-Ife expressway.

They were paraded at the Police Headquarters, Osun State on Wednesday evening.

It was gathered that the suspects waylaid a commercial Toyota vehicle with guns and robbed the passengers of mobile phones, cash, pieces of jewellery and other valuable things.

The following day, he wore it and was sighted around a bank in Ile-Ife, the driver raised alarm and two of them who were together were arrested.”
