He confessed further that he deliberately lured the victim to Ota where he and his gang members were waiting for him with the money he was matcheted

The confessional statements of the duo also led to the arrest of the other two suspects, Johnson Fakeye and Akinola Jamiu at Atan Ota and Owode Yewa respectively.

A Toyota Camry,  Toyota Corolla, and a Toyota Rave 4, whose owners had been gruesomely murdered were also recovered from the gang.
