The suspect, who was arrested by a team of detectives from a criminal hideout, had confessed to recent operations which included stealing of drum set, laptop and stage monitors, all valued at N370,000 from Christ Embassy Church, Ring Road.
Also, the suspect said he stole a 60-inch Plasma TV valued at N320,000 from Kichenette Hotel, Yemetu, Ibadan.
The police had recovered the stage monitor and drum set while the suspect had made useful statement to the police and revealed the names of other members of the gang.
The Commisioner of Police in Oyo State, Mr Baba Adisa Bolanta confimed the case, saying investigation were in progress at the State Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office while efforts were on to arrest the remaining hoodlums.
Also, a three-month-old baby, Samad Kazeem burned to death while his sister, Rokibat, sustained third degree burns in a fire outbreak that occurred in their parents’ one-room apartment at Popoyemoja Area, Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to reports, other tenants in the building had noted smoke coming from the affected room around 9.30 p.m on the day of occurrence.
The tenants had rushed towards the door to force it open, but before they could do so, the baby had been consumed by the fire which engulfed the room.
The sister to the deceased child was quickly rescued and taken to the University College Hospital, Ibadan where she had been receiving treatment.
I learnt that the mother of the kids had gone out to buy bread at the time of the incident while her husband was yet to return home.
She was reported to have lit a lantern and put it on the bed on which the children laid to sleep, raising the speculation that the fire must have started from there.

Police sources revealed that both parents had not been seen since the incident occurred while only their room was affected in the fire incident.
