An economics graduate of the University of Ado-Ekiti (UNAD), Ekiti State, Damola Adebayo (28), was among three armed robbery suspects paraded yesterday by the Police Command in Osun State.
Commissioner of Police Mr. Solomon Olusegun said the suspects attacked the home of a woman politician, Mrs. Emiola Fakeye, at Imo quarters, Ilesa and held the occupants hostage for about an hour.
He said the suspects were aided by Mrs. Fakeye’s driver, Afolabi Ajewole.
Olusegun said the suspects dispossessed their victims of money, electronics, jewellery and handsets. They also stole a brand new Toyota Camry with registration number Lagos LX 179 KJA valued at N6 million.
He said the suspects were apprehended in Lagos while trying to sell the car.
Damola said he was lured into robbery by his uncle. After graduating from UNAD, he said he studied data analysis in England, but could not find a job when he returned to Nigeria.
Ajewole and the third suspect, Benard Obey, also confessed to the crime.
