They were said to have gone away with victims ATM card after obtaining their PIN when the POS could no longer work due to network issue.

Upon interrogation, one Sherif Salawu (37), a co-worker with the victim, confessed to have masterminded the plot along with his cohorts. Investigation is still in progress.”

    The CP also said the command arrested two members of Aiye Confraternity who were also armed robbers terrorising students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology living at Under-G area of Ogbomoso.

    The CP identified the suspects as 28-year-old Oluwanisola Quadri and Olapade Oladimeji, 30.
