Ominiyi, admitting to the crime, stated he operated alone and had successfully robbed many people in the town.
He said;
“I entered through the window and met the couple in the house. I ordered them to bring out all the money and valuables in their house. They were able to bring out just N50,000, but I asked the woman to go and bring more valuables from her room because I was not satisfied with the cash.
I followed the wife into her room to search the room and I asked her to lie on the bed and she obeyed because I was holding a gun. The woman shouted that I was about to rape her and her husband rushed in with four other men.
I was overpowered before I could go for my gun because I had dropped the gun on the ground while I was trying to sleep with the woman. They beat me up, seized the gun, and handed me over to the police.”
Meanwhile, the police spokesperson noted that the suspect’s 55-year-old mother, Tale Akinlabi, was arrested for allegedly helping him to keep stolen items, adding that both of them would be charged in court after proper investigations.
