“The suspects have confessed to the crime and are cooperating with ongoing investigations tailored at apprehending their entire criminal network,” Mr Osifeso claimed.
He said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Ngozi Onadeko, enjoined the citizens to always provide the police with credible and timely information to nip crime in the bud.
