Parading the men, the state Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, said the suspects were residing in Lagos but usually sneaked into the state to rob and return to Lagos after every successful operation.
He said the suspects were arrested during the operation, through a joint effort of men of the command from Ile Ife, and members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria.
The suspected robbers, John Daniel, Emmanuel Irem, Stephen James, Monday John, Abayomi Samson and Samuel Egbe, who dressed in army uniforms, confessed to committing the crime.
When responding to questions from newsmen, the leader of the gang, Stephen James, said he got military uniforms from an abandoned building in a military cantonment in Lagos.
James said he recruited other members of the gang from a slum in Ijora, Lagos, adding that they began robbing passengers on Osogbo/Ilesha Road, using fake rifles in August last year.
Meanwhile, one Yekini Ayinde also known as Abija believed to have masterminded the killing of a rice dealer, Sanusi Isiaka, in Osogbo on May 14, 2007, was also paraded.
The Osun police boss said Yekini was on the watch list of the police for two years until last week when he was apprehended in Lagos.
Adeoye said, “Isiaka, a rice dealer, who had earlier supplied the suspects 500 bags of rice, was lured from Saki in Oyo State to Osogbo by Yekini Ayinde.
“Yekini then contracted others and took the Isiaka to a secluded place along Osogbo/Iwo Road where he was killed. One of those that Yekini contracted also beheaded the deceased and use his head for money rituals. We have apprehended two of those people that assisted Abija to perpetrate the crime.”
The police boss declared that all the suspects would be arraigned before the court as soon as police conclude the investigation into their crimes.
