On October 8th, Samson and his accomplices, Jimoh Rilwan and Sodiq Awokoya, were apprehended by state police command officers in the Tollgate area of Ogere-Remo for killing the rider, Bashiru Umaru, before stealing his motorcycle.


Lanre Bankole, the State Commissioner of Police, stated that the teens were captured where they had gone to sell the motorcycle that they had stolen after slashing their victims in the most brutal manner.


While speaking with reporters, Odunayo, who admitted to being an internet fraudster, revealed that he was in desperate need of money to purchase data in order to subscribe to the internet and communicate with his clients, prompting him to engage in illegal behavior.

He said, “It was Samson that lured me into criminal activities. It was our second operation when we were caught. The first operation we carried out, we didn’t kill our victim, we only collected N3,500 from him”.

“I accepted to embark on the operation in order to get money for data and subscribe to the internet to do ‘yahoo yahoo’. I have not killed anyone before”.

The Police Commissioner advised parents to step up efforts to provide their children with quality home education in order to make Ogun society a sane and safe place.
