The Ondo state police command is currently on the trail of two armed robbery suspects who reportedly escaped from a cell with handcuffs. Two robbery suspects identified as Rotimi Adeyeye and Adeoye Bukola, have reportedly escaped from a cell of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Ondo State Police Command, according to a report by PUNCH Metro.
According to reports, the suspects allegedly broke into the house of one Samuel Arifalo in the Ijoka area of Akure, and robbed him of some valuables on April 30, 2018.
A source disclosed to a correspondent that the suspects were later arrested and handed over to men of the Special Anti-Cultism Squad in Akure, who kept them in custody for 16 days.
