When students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso
stormed major roads in the city to protest continued robbery attacks on
their female hostel and raping the helpless ladies, they did not in
their wildest dreams think that the said robbers could be among them.
The state Police Command recorded a breakthrough as they arrested
three suspects who were alleged to have been involved in the ungodly
act. While parading the suspects alongside other suspects, the
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade said,
“ a 400L male student of the Department of Transport, Ladoke
Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso who belonged to a notorious
criminal gang nicknamed ‘Three Mopols’ was arrested on 3rd November,
2015 in his criminal hideout by the special anti robbery squad in
Oyo/Ogbomoso. “
The gang, according to him, was responsible for breaking into
students hostels,stealing valuable property and sometimes raping their
female colleagues.
His arrest and subsequent confession led to the arrest of two
criminal receivers – Adeyemi Samuel Taiwo and Adeyemi Samson Kehinde
who received some of the stolen items.
When a search was conducted in the house of Kayode Oluwaseyi, a HP
laptop computer belonging to one of his victims and a toy gun used for
robbery operations were recovered. Kayode Oluwaseyi also confessed to
have burgled several houses and carried out many robbery operations in
the Ogbomoso area
When asked what led him into that shameful act, the suspect confessed
that it was true he was involved in the constant raids but tried to
exonerate his accomplices saying they were not among the gang but that
they always bought the stolen goods from him.
